Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Supported by over 40 human trials involving thousands of subjects, Meriva® stands out as the real The Life Guardian™ you can rely on.
From releaving atopic-prone skin discomforts, to supporting joint, eye, liver and kidney health, Meriva® helps users to maintain high quality of life and ease 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): each of them benefiting from an optimization boost thanks to Indena Phytosome® proprietary technology.1
Given its properties, Meriva® is able to ease most of conditions requiring a modulation of physiological, healthy inflammatory response.
Clinically proven benefits include better ache management, optimized joint flexibility and function, and improved quality of life.
Meriva® also supports bone density and boosts muscle strength, endurance, and recovery—making it ideal for maintaining mobility and well-being over time.2-6
Meriva® helps soothe atopic-prone and sensitive skin, easing itch, dryness, redness, and flaking when used alongside standard treatments. It also improves skin comfort and supports a healthy inflammatory response, with proven effects on key biomarkers.7,8
Finally, Meriva® is able to sustain kidney health by tune low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress, key factors in renal challenges.9,10
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.1
In fact, curcumin typically exhibits poor oral absorption in the body, but Meriva® optimizes its bioabsorption and consequently its biological activity.
