Curcugen™ is a highly concentrated, clinically studied curcumin ingredient, fully derived from a turmeric base with a high, 50% curcuminoid concentration. It is derived from turmeric oleoresin as base ingredient with a more comprehensive profile of turmeric bioactives than the industry-standard starting material, 95% curcuminoids. The oleoresin is the native matrix where turmeric’s curcuminoids, essential oils and resins are found, which support its unique characteristics.

Panax ginseng has been used for several thousand years in Asia as a tonic, believing it is a panacea and that it promotes health, vitality, and longevity. The earliest records of ginseng’s use in medicine can be found in the Chinese Materia Medica, approximately 2000 years ago. In the holistic approach of traditional medicine systems of East Asia, ginseng is used to strengthen the vital energy “Qi”, as an aid during convalescence and as a prophylactic to build resistance and reduce susceptibility to illness. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes individual treatment, improvement of pathological conditions to adjust the balance of the human body, and pharmacological applications such as tonics, for restorative, and anti-aging purposes.

Keratin is a protein found in the body of humans and animals that makes up the structure of the fingernails, hair, and skin. Usually, natural keratin from animal sources is insoluble and indigestible. KERAGEN-IV™, however, is a pure keratin protein that is gently extracted to make it fully bioactive and digestible. KERAGEN-IV™ supports the body’s ability to make collagen IV and collagen VII. Collagen IV and VII are only made in the human body and can’t be replaced by dietary collagen. These unique collagens are responsible for skin strength and elasticity.
