Physiological effects

• Curcumin extract is manufactured from the rootstock of Curcuma longa L. which is also used as a spice  e.g. the popular Indian curry spice turmeric, which is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae).  For thousands of years it has been used in Indian Ayuervedic and traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory agent to treat a wide variety of conditions including skin, bowel diseases, painful joint inflammation, chest pain, menstrual difficulties, bruises, etc.
• Curcumin is the primary pharmacologic agent of curcuminoid, as the effective ingredient of Curcumin extract. Curcumin is a versatile antioxidant preventing the harmful effects of free radicals in the body.  It acts as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticarsinogenic agent as well as improves liver function and activates the pancreas.
• DL-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid affecting the brain’s transmitter agents. It is a combination of two amino acids, isomer D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine.
• DL-phenylalanine may regulate the levels of certain endorphins and tyrosine. By maintaining healthy endorphin and tyrosine levels, DL-phenylalanine nutritionally supports mental acuity and emotional well-being, while relaxing the stressed muscles and joints.
• DL-phenylalanine can also be used to treat chronic pain since it boosts the body’s natural painkilling response.
• Fortesan’s effects can be seen within 2-3 days after tablet intake, once the body’s natural endorphin level has been balanced.
