What is the difference between Turmeric and Curcumin?

Have you heard of Turmeric? It is used in foods and drinks worldwide for its color, flavor, and benefits on the body and mind. Recently, medical research has started to show exactly how turmeric can be helpful to optimize human health.

Curcuminoids; these are the power houses inside turmeric that make it healthy and curcumin is the most powerful of them all. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects on the brain and body. (Cover Three gets its color naturally from the concentrated curcumin)

Turmeric contains a small amount of curcumin, to equal the 500mg of curcumin in every dose of Cover Three, you would have to eat almost 4 tablespoons of turmeric powder. Maybe you should start the turmeric powder challenge and get YouTube famous!

Curcumin is so special that there is research showing it fights the #1 killer in the U.S. AND is shown to enhance the effectiveness of Trans-resveratrol and DHA in the brain. What a powerful trio ehh? #hattrick #nhltalk

"What's good for the body is good for the brain." - An ancient wise person

If you have a heart or a fondness for red wine, you probably have heard that resveratrol is a wonderful nutrient for heart health; helping to keep it and your blood vessels healthy and flexible. The human brain has around 100,000 MILES of blood vessels. So, you see why this molecule was a 'no-brainer' to add to Cover Three. 

Well our doctor has a tip for you. Instead of searching out resveratrol in capsules in a dry powder form, you should be looking for TRANS-resveratrol in a synergy solution. Here's the deal, there are different forms of resveratrol but research shows that trans-resveratrol is the strongest antioxidant and is the best overall form of resveratrol for your health. It has to do with things like cellular receptors which you might remember hearing about if you took biology classes.

"A glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away." - Another wise person

Next time you drink a glass of wine, do it to enjoy and leave the health part to your packet of Cover Three; which has the same amount of trans-resveratrol as 250 bottles of wine! Trans-resveratrol is shown to enhance the effectiveness of DHA and Curcumin in the brain.

Essential Fatty Acids – DHA & EPA

Omega 3s are Cover Three's most abundant ingredients both for their structure and effect. Omega 3s act as the smooth delivery system for the other neuroprotectants and enhance the effectiveness of the formula.

Our favorite, DHA, is also a favorite of mother's because it is crucial in fortifying baby formula and has been labeled the "building block of the brain".

The second, EPA, is the Goose to DHA's Maverick. Without EPA, DHA isn't half as good. It makes sense because the human body relies on cooperation and synergy even when it comes to nutrition.

These two neuroprotectants support the brain's rebuilding and research shows that a brain that gets them is more stable, has less inflammation, resists aging and its effects, and returns to a more normal state after trauma. DHA specifically is shown to enhance the effectiveness of Trans-resveratrol and Curcumin. They’re the 3 best friends that any-brain could have... Cover Three. #thehangoversong

It’s a mouthful... alpha-glycerophosphocholine

Our doctor says, “Choline supports optimal membrane function and is used to increase acetylcholine in the brain to help with focus and memory.” The rest of us, “Huh?”

Our doctor says, “When it comes to brain performance there are big differences in effectiveness from the different forms, Choline, CDP Choline, and Alpha.” The rest of us, “What form do I need to fill out?”

Our doctor says, “Choline can be used to support the liver and is definitely the cheapest form of the three. Yet it fails to support the brain. The rest of us, “Failure, bad.”

Our doctor says, “CDP Choline is cheaper than Alpha GPC yet is not as effective.” The rest of us, “Who wants to be second best?”

Our doctor says, “Alpha GPC is 'the alpha' because its effectiveness is proven to exceed others for both immediate and long-term brain support. It’s the only choline source that has shown significant changes as a single ingredient and has wowed brain researchers across the world.” The rest of us, “We want to wow.”

The utility player on our team

You know that athlete who can play any position or the mechanic who can also play piano and sing? That’s Uridine. It feeds and supports the neurons in your brain (100 billion of them).

By increasing the synthesis of cellular membranes it boosts brain function.

It has anti-inflammatory properties and is a great teammate as it boosts choline in the brain. And it loves to be in synergy with Omega 3’s, which means when they meet in the brain they enhance each other’s effectiveness. #relationshipgoals

The Van Wilder of the antioxidant world

Vitamin C is necessary for the growth and development of all body tissues.

It protects against immune system deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, prenatal health problems, eye disease, and even aging skin.

In the brain, vitamin C has an important role in producing collagen in connective tissue, forming blood vessels, and supporting mental balance.
