Curcumin Phytosome - Sustained Release by Thorne is a patented sustained-release curcumin supplement that is soy-free. Curcumin, a powerful antioxidant derived from turmeric, may provide a range of health benefits, such as aiding cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and hepatic function, and joint health by helping to maintain a normal inflammatory response in the body through the optimization of cytokine production. This product is unique in that it utilizes curcumin bound to sunflower phospholipids, which is especially beneficial for sensitive patients, and Phytosome technology to ensure more efficient absorption. Additionally, it may help to maintain a healthy balance of cytokines in the body, provide antioxidant support, and offer relief from occasional stiffness and soreness. Research has further suggested that this supplement may provide support for joint, muscle, eye, gastrointestinal tract, liver, prostate, and nerve health, as well as nutritional support to oncology patients. However, it should be noted that these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA.

INTERACTIONS
Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.
