Turmeric has been used as a healing herbal remedy for thousands of years. More recently, it’s become one of the most popular—and extensively studied—dietary supplements out there, with an array of health benefits that are now scientifically proven.

An impressive body of clinical research shows that an extraordinarily powerful compound found turmeric’s bright yellow roots, called curcumin, has the unique ability to short-circuit the inflammation that is a root cause of so many common health concerns.*

In a moment, I’ll tell you how I’m using turmeric in combination with a few other key nutrients in my clinics to help patients get inflammation under control to improve just about every aspect of their health. But first, let’s explore some of the scientifically proven ways turmeric can help you.

7 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Turmeric

Over 400 clinical studies demonstrate the wide-ranging health benefits of turmeric.*
These benefits include:

1. Reduced Body-Wide Inflammation
Key studies have shown that curcumin blocks inflammatory pathways, reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and neutralizes inflammation-causing free radicals.*** And a meta-analysis of clinical research found that curcumin effectively lowers blood levels of c-reactive protein (CRP), a key inflammatory marker that has been linked to elevated cardiovascular risk, among other concerns.*

2. Anti-Aging Protection for Your Cells
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize the free radicals that can damage cells and accelerate the aging process. In addition to protecting cells from the ravages of free radicals, curcumin also has the ability boost antioxidant enzyme activity within the body. In this way, turmeric supplementation delivers a one-two punch against free radicals.**

3. Effective Joint Pain Relief & Faster Recovery
In a breakthrough study, curcumin was shown to relieve joint discomfort as effectively as a popular mainstream approach, while reducing stiffness and improving overall joint function.* Another study found that turmeric supplementation helped reduce post-exercise soreness while improving markers of muscle recovery in football players.*

4. A Healthier Cardiovascular System
Research has shown that curcumin provides powerful antioxidant support for the cardiovascular system.* Curcumin has also been shown to help prevent cholesterol oxidation, which is implicated the arterial hardening and blood vessel damage caused by cholesterol. It may also work to lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind).*

5. Better Cognitive Function
A landmark study found that curcumin promotes the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth hormone responsible for youthful brain function. Some believe that higher BDNF levels hold the key to sharper thinking as you age.* And an Australian study found that daily intake of curcumin produced short-term memory improvement in adults.*

6. Brighter Moods
Turmeric can even support optimal mood balance. One study showed curcumin is as effective as a popular mainstream solution for mood support without the potentially dangerous side effects.* It’s thought that one way curcumin benefits mood is by increasing levels of BDNF, which is associated with mood balance.*

7. More Comfortable Digestion
Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits may aid in promoting healthy digestion, and this is one of its most common traditional uses in Ayurveda. In one study, curcumin was associated with up to a 25% reduction in digestive discomfort, with two-thirds of participants reporting overall improvement in digestive function.*

If you’re struggling with joint or back pain, worried about your heart or brain health, or simply wondering where your energy went, please keep reading because chances are turmeric can help by addressing the inflammation that often underlies these concerns.

But you can’t just take any turmeric supplement. I’ll explain why, what to look for and how to combine turmeric with other key ingredients to get the results you want.

How I Help My Patients Overcome Damaging Inflammation Naturally

Hello, I’m Dr. Kevin Passero.

At this point, it’s indisputable: Extensive scientific research shows a clear link between chronic inflammation and increased risk for a wide array of health issues.*

In the 20+ years I’ve been running my Washington, DC based clinics, I’ve found that most everyone is dealing with elevated inflammation levels. And with so many aspects of our modern lifestyle acting as triggers for inflammation, it can be a real challenge to get it under control.

• Lasting relief from nagging aches and pains*

• Enhanced joint flexibility and mobility*

• Faster recovery from exercise and injury*

• Improved cardiovascular and cognitive function**

I’ll be honest, turmeric by itself is not a magic bullet for natural inflammation control. That’s because, unlike the mainstream pharmaceutical approaches, neutralizing inflammation the natural way requires an integrative approach that involves multiple ingredients paired with a healthy diet and lifestyle.

But the natural way works—quickly and without side effects—by targeting the root causes of inflammation head-to-toe, instead of just masking the symptoms.

In the over two decades I’ve been practicing medicine, I’ve helped hundreds of patients put an end to chronic inflammation and reclaim their health and vitality using a Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol that relies solely on natural means. And today, I’m going to share that protocol with you, so you can enjoy the body-wide benefits of reducing inflammation, including:

Lasting relief from nagging aches and pains*
Enhanced joint flexibility and mobility*

Faster recovery from exercise and injury*
Improved cardiovascular and cognitive function**

And over the years, it’s become clear to me that reducing inflammation throughout your body may be the single most important thing you can do to slow down the aging process and feel your best every day.

So what’s the best way to do it? It starts with turmeric, but it doesn’t end there.

The Truth About Turmeric and Inflammation

In recent years, many of my patients have come to me after trying turmeric supplements with disappointing results. They’re often frustrated and on the verge of giving up on natural solutions.

What they don’t realize is that, while the clinical research on curcumin’s ability to combat inflammation is rock-solid, most turmeric supplements fail to deliver the results shown in the research. That’s because they’re cheaply made by companies that put more money into marketing than they put into formulation.

You see, anytime a nutrient shows as much scientific promise as turmeric has with hundreds of studies confirming its amazing health benefits, there’s a “gold rush” by supplement makers to cash in and make a quick buck. To do this, many of them cut corners, taking advantage of the hype and flooding the market with turmeric products that don’t come close to the dosage specifications and quality indicated by the research.

Why So Many Turmeric Supplements Fail to Deliver Results

1) You need A LOT of turmeric to get the results shown in the research. Numerous studies suggest that a minimum of 500 mg per day is needed to reduce inflammation,* and in my experience, 700 mg per day works much better. Yet many supplements contain far less than that.

2) Turmeric is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. In many studies, even very large oral doses have failed to yield significant increases in circulating blood levels. But a patented extract of black pepper called BioPerine® has been shown to increase turmeric’s absorption by an astonishing 2,000%!* Yet many supplement makers don’t include BioPerine® in their formulas.

3) Many turmeric supplements are not standardized. Standardization brings the active ingredients in a plant to a consistent level. To get meaningful results, you need a turmeric supplement that is standardized to contain at least 75% curcuminoids (or ideally, closer to 95% curcuminoids), to make sure you’re getting enough of the active curcumin you need to get the results you want. Otherwise, what you're getting could be little more than a pill filled with powdered turmeric root.

4) Turmeric is only a “partial solution” for pain and inflammation. When it comes to effective inflammation relief, you need to address all of the primary pathways of inflammation in the body. Turmeric only addresses some of these pathways, which means even the best supplements are limited in how much relief they can provide.

The Secret to Solving Pain and Inflammation Naturally

In the 20+ years I’ve been working directly with patients, I’ve learned a very important lesson about overcoming inflammation using natural means: There are several primary inflammation pathways, and the most effective way to reduce inflammation is to address ALL of these pathways at the same time.

While turmeric addresses some of these pathways very effectively, there’s another remarkably powerful natural anti-inflammatory called called palmitoylethanolamide (or PEA for short), a little-known fatty acid that works on inflammation pathways turmeric can’t touch. I’ve been using PEA with patients in my clinical practice for a few years now, and the results have been nothing short of stunning.

What Exactly Is PEA and How Does It Work?

PEA is essentially your body’s built-in natural painkiller.

How exactly does it work? Well, new research published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences shows that PEA helps neutralize COX-2, iNOS and TNFα, a notorious trio of factors associated with inflammation and pain.*

When inflammation strikes, your body synthesizes PEA on demand and releases it right at the source to help relieve pain. PEA also comes to the rescue when you’re having an allergic reaction, helps muscles recover, and can even help improve your mood and sleep.*

The big problem is that your body’s PEA production can rapidly decline as you age or be depleted from persistent injury or ongoing pain. The timing of this couldn’t be worse because this just exacerbates the cycle of inflammation and pain.

For years, PEA was virtually unknown in the United States and very little research had been done on it. But thanks to European researchers (who are generally far more advanced with natural remedies), PEA is gaining acceptance among forward-thinking health practitioners.

Gold-Standard Research Confirms PEA’s Effectiveness for Pain Relief

I’ve been seeing extraordinary results using PEA for pain and inflammation relief in the clinic, and this success has been validated by gold-standard research from around the world. Here’s a quick sampling of some of the incredible clinical results:

• Lower Back Pain Relief for 9 out of 10 People: In an Italian trial with 636 patients, 90% of those taking 600 mg of PEA daily reported “good or excellent” effectiveness at providing greater lower-back comfort after three weeks of usage—with 51% rating it “excellent.”*

• Knee Comfort Improved Quickly: In a study published in Inflammopharmacology, participants who were given 600 mg of PEA reported a “significant reduction” in pain scores versus those taking a placebo in eight weeks.*

• Aches Relieved All Over the Body for 88% of Participants: In a hospital study, 407 patients with widespread aches and tenderness that wouldn’t go away received 600 mg of PEA. Of those, a full 88% reported “significant” score improvements for comfort and quality of life.*

• Pain “Significantly Decreased”: Patients with various types of persistent pain were given 600 mg of PEA twice daily for 3 weeks, followed by a single daily dose for 4 weeks. By the end of the trial, PEA “significantly decreased” the severity and intensity of pain for those taking it, and it worked no matter the source of their pain.*

And there have been no serious side effects noted with PEA use.

The combination of turmeric and PEA is wonderfully effective, but I’ve found that incorporating a third anti-inflammatory, a powerful Ayurvedic herb called boswellia into my Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol yields even better results for my patients.

Boswellia: A Fast-Acting Ayurvedic Inflammation Fighter

My Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol combines turmeric with PEA and boswellia, an herb long used in Ayurvedic medicine for pain relief.

Boswellia works by shutting down the pro-inflammatory 5-LOX enzyme and inhibiting the production of the pro-inflammatory leukotrienes. One of the best things about boswellia is that it’s fast acting. Some clinical trials conducted on joint pain sufferers have even shown benefits in as few as seven days.*

What’s more, research shows that when turmeric is combined with boswellia, it produces better results than it does by itself. In an extraordinary clinical trial with 201 adults, one group received a combination of turmeric and boswellia while another group got just turmeric.

After 12 weeks, the difference was clear: the turmeric-boswellia combination did significantly more to support healthy joint comfort. In fact, the combination of turmeric and boswellia was rated 44.6% better by participants than turmeric alone!*

Turmeric, PEA and boswellia form the complete Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol that has helped so many people get head-to-toe relief from pain and inflammation. It’s so effective because it addresses all of the major pathways of pain and inflammation—instead of just one or two. It provides relief that’s light-years beyond what typical turmeric supplements offer—in as little as 7 days.

My Proven Inflammation Relief Protocol Delivers Results—in as Little as 7 Days

I firmly believe that the Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol I developed for my patients (my father being one of them!) is truly the most effective (and safest) way to get pain and inflammation under control quickly while improving your overall health and quality of life.

While most of my patients were achieving incredible success with my protocol, I quickly realized that many of them found it challenging to follow, because the specific supplements it calls for aren’t always easy to find. And the number of pills per day (not to mention the expense) really adds up when you’re taking multiple supplements to address one problem.

I knew there had to be a better solution, and fortunately, I had the opportunity to create one. That’s because in addition to running my clinics, I also serve as Chief Science Officer for Durable®, a cutting-edge dietary supplement company that I co-founded with my good friend (and patient) Josh Corn, who has been a leading natural health advocate for over 20 years.

Together, we created a convenient and affordable all-in-one solution based on the Triple-Action Inflammation Relief Protocol I developed for my patients. We call it Durable BODY®.
