06 Apr 2021 --- Arjuna Natural’s proprietary turmeric extract, BCM-95, is as effective as paracetamol in reducing pain and other symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA). This is according to a new study, which also demonstrated that the highly bioavailable compound was more effective in reducing inflammation. “While previous studies have shown the benefits of BCM-95 for managing the condition, this study is the first to link the anti-arthritic effect of BCM-95 in OA patients to its efficacy in modulating anti-inflammatory markers TNF and CRP,” Dr. Benny Antony, joint managing director of Arjuna, tells NutritionInsight. He explains that these inflammation markers are associated with osteoarthritis. BCM-95 has a proven mechanism for not just enhancing bioavailability but also being present in relevant concentrations in the blood for long periods, thus making it available to the cells.
