Curcumin BDM30 and BDM50 and how they deliver the highest ORAC value we have ever studied!

Curcumin III (Bisdemeoxycurcumin –BDM) delivers an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value that outperforms any compound we’ve studied in the past. It is in the order of 6,245,000 UNITS. As a comparable example, to gain perspective, regular curcumin exhibits an ORAC value of only 9,500 UNITS when measured in precisely the same manner. This activity plays a huge role in stability preservation of the curcumin pharmacology and more; including the newly discovered additive anti-inflammatory pharmacology curcumin III delivers.

Nevertheless, this extra-ordinary exogenous (outside – in) antioxidant activity is coupled by a profound signalling activity by this isolated curcuminoid that we show in our research (and confirmed in literature) at Biologic Pharmamedical Research (www.biologicpharmamedical.com) ‘turns on’ genes and related subcellular systems that increase production of endogenous (inside-out) antioxidants designed to protect our cells all the way down to the DNA.
