What is Curcumin?

The benefits of curcumin are multiplied in comparison to turmeric since curcumin is the constituent that poses the most benefit. When it is extracted and concentrated its effects are far greater than that of turmeric.

Why Intravenously ?

Any substance administered intravenously is far more available for the body to utilize in its entirety, in comparison to oral supplementation.

Some conditions warrant oral supplementation and some would be better resolved intravenously. Curcumin preparations for intravenous administration are liposomal versus water-soluble, which makes it far more effective in its uptake into the tissues.
