Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Supported by over 40 human trials involving thousands of subjects3,4,5,6, Meriva® Curcumin - Indena Phytosome™ stands out as the real The Life Guardian™ you can rely on.
From joint to eye health or liver to kidney, Meriva® helps users to maintain high quality of life and support the physiological “detoxification” processes. It offers lifelong antioxidant activity so that your body’s natural response does not turn into low-level chronic inflammation, also known as the silent killer.
Moreover, long term studies have highlighted that Meriva®’s top-grade formulation leads to outstanding tolerability and safety even for prolonged use.
Today, there’s no complete healthy life maintenance program without Meriva®.
Meriva® into action
Meriva® is effective thanks to the synergic power of 3 major curcuminoids (i.e., the active ingredients naturally present in turmeric) it contains in the same proportions expected in Nature.
And there’s more: Meriva® is the formulation with the highest levels of demethoxycurcumin (DMC), the most powerful curcuminoid. 7
Thanks to this molecular profile composition and its unique - Indena Phytosome™ delivery system, Meriva® shows effectiveness in particular for joint & bone and kidney health.1,4,8,9
Find out how Meriva®
is one step beyond
The uniqueness of Meriva® is deeply rooted in its - Indena Phytosome™ strategy, the only delivery system in the world totally made up of natural elements that can guarantee high standard performance and a food grade quality: pharmacokinetics studies have showed significant absorption benefits including a greater Cmax and a 30-fold increase AUC vs a standard turmeric extract, whilst remaining in a traditional level dosage intake.7
In fact, curcumin typically exhibits poor oral absorption in the body10, but Meriva® optimizes its bioabsorption and consequently its biological activity.7
