Anti-inflammatory Effect*
Our Curcumin Phytosome has been shown in studies to decrease inflammation levels by up to 1600% (as measured by reduction in c-reactive protein levels) [2].
Chronic low level inflammation increases the risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
Antioxidant Effects*
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant in its own right, but its major effect on the body is to stimulate our antioxidant enzyme production.
This helps neutralize and significantly reduce oxidative stress and free radical damage in the body.
Brain Function Benefits*
The growth hormone of the brain is known as Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF).
Curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier and increase levels of BDNF directly. It has also been shown to help manage anxiety and depression.
The Best Curcumin
18 clinical trials for 10 different health conditions support its effectiveness and complete safety.
29x Better Absorption
We use the patented Meriva Curcumin Phytosome delivery system to increase absorption by 2900%!
Quality Control
This supplement is manufactured at an NSF GMP-certified facility in the United States.

Why Should I Take Meriva Curcumin Phytosome?
Regular curcumin supplements have a major problem — they’re absorbed very poorly by the body. But this is not a problem with our Curcumin Phytosome supplement.
We use a patented delivery system that increases curcumin absorption rates by up to 2900% [1]!
Improved curcumin bioavailability means you can now enjoy all of its amazing health benefits, including reduced exercise-related pain, stiffness, and improved physical function.*
Here’s what 100 osteoarthritis patients experienced after taking 1,000mg of Meriva daily for 8 months [3]:
+ 63% reduction in painkiller use
+ 59% reduction in pain and stiffness
+ 67% reduction in digestive problems
+ 346% improvement in their maximum walking distance
Curcumin Phytosome
Meriva’s patented Curcumin Phytosome is a total game changer. It’s a natural, food-grade, nano-delivery system developed by Indena.
It’s key to making our curcumin up to 29x better absorbed than ordinary curcumin.
Curcuma longa Extract
Curcumin is extracted from Curcuma longa, a.k.a. turmeric, a popular, all-around herbal solution used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries.
Turmeric is also a culinary spice added to many Asian dishes.
Phosphatidylcholine Complex from Sunflower
Our phytosome Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is extracted from sunflower to ensure it’s soy-free (other Meriva supplements contain soy).
PC is a natural part of our cell membranes, which greatly helps with bioavailability.
At Intelligent Labs, we use high quality ingredients to make the best curcumin supplement on the market. We don’t use fillers, artificial flavors, additives or preservatives on any of our health products.
Meriva Curcumin Phytosome is manufactured at an NSF GMP-certified facility in the United States.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the label only say 150mg of Curcumin? Isn’t it supposed to be 250mg per capsule?
This is a labeling standardization requirement for Canada. Canadian regulations require manufacturers to list the amount of active ingredients, not the total amount of raw ingredients.
For our Curcumin Phytosome 250, each capsule contains 250mg of Meriva®. Meriva® is a blend of curcuminoids and other compounds naturally present in turmeric.
Out of the 250mg, 60% or 150mg is considered “active” or “available” for the body to absorb. This is the amount shown on the label. The remaining 100mg isn’t “inactive” per se. Rather, they are the other parts of the plant that aren’t specifically curcumin.
Should I take Meriva Curcumin Phytosome with or without food?
Ideally, you should take it with food. The curcumin in Meriva is combined with lecithin which is primarily made up of a molecule called Phosphatidylcholine (a phospholipid). Phospholipids are best absorbed when taken with food. Food stimulates the release of pancreatic enzymes and bile which more completely emulsifies the Phosphatidylcholine, allowing for much better absorption.
How long does it take to work?
You should start to feel the benefits of Meriva within 4-6 weeks (and possibly much quicker). However, long term studies of Meriva have shown that people can continue to see improvements in symptoms for 6 months or longer.
How much Meriva should I take?
We recommend taking 1 gram of Meriva a day (4 x 250mg capsules). We suggest starting with 2 capsules a day and then moving up to 4 depending on whether you see the improvements you are looking for or not. This is based on the specific dosages used successfully in scientific studies.
For example, one major study found large reductions of inflammation levels in the body (up to 16x), and significant improvements in the symptoms of Osteoarthritis with a 1g (4 capsules a day) dose of Meriva.
In another study, participants suffering from peripheral nerve pain found reductions in their pain levels at a dose of 2g a day (8 x 250mg capsules). A further study in trained athletes found reduced post-exercise pain and improved recovery times also at a dose of 2g a day.
Is it safe to take long term and is it OK for a low oxalate diet?
Meriva has been shown to be safe for long term use in scientific studies. Also, unlike ordinary turmeric, Meriva is very low in oxalates, and completely fine for a low oxalate diet. Each capsule only contains 0.0025mg of oxalate, with a low oxalate diet ideally being less than 50mg of oxalate a day.
What is the curcuminoids percentage for this product?
Meriva is standardized to 20% curcuminoids, so each capsule has 50mg of curcuminoids.
Do I need to consult with my doctor before taking this supplement?
Yes, please do speak with your doctor before taking any kind of supplement.
