Everyone’s first turmeric faq is what is it? Turmeric is a plant of the ginger family. The root of the plant is ground and used as a spice around the world. More importantly, turmeric is recognized for its incredible medicinal benefits. This amazing golden spice contains molecules that can simultaneously work on many functions in the body that are necessary for good health.

Curcumin is one of the important, but not the only one, of over 200 active ingredients in turmeric, and has been widely studied in recent years for it’s health benefits.

Historically, turmeric was used to support immune function, improving digestion and liver health, menstrual health, and joint health. Some of the key benefits of turmeric include*†:

• Muscle and joint health
• Digestive health
• Cardiovascular health
• Brain and eye health
• Skin and hair health

SONA pastille is a unique turmeric formulation, similar to a gummy chew. SONA is a juicy, tasty, sugar-free, black pepper-free, menthol flavored pastille that dissolves slowly in your mouth.

Traditional supplements suffer from two major issues:

1. Poor absorption or bio-availability: As much as 60% of the constituents in traditional supplements are quickly degraded or excreted as they go through the digestive tract. SONA on the other hand offers 600% better absorption.
2. Focus on curcumin alone: Turmeric contains over 200 active molecules. Curcumin is just one of them. Research shows that the synergistic action among these active ingredients provides far superior efficacy, and at a much lower dose, than consuming curcumin alone. SONA turmeric pastille contains not just curcumin but all major classes of active ingredients present in turmeric.

Curcumin, a key ingredient in turmeric, does not dissolve in water, making it difficult for the body to absorb it. Whatever little curcumin does get absorbed, is quickly turned into inactive substances (called conjugation for all you science buffs) by the liver. Black pepper or piperine cannot improve curcumin’s solubility in water. Black pepper simply artificially delays the action of liver so that the tiny amount of curcumin that gets absorbed can linger a little longer. Further, black pepper can also interfere with the absorption of many prescription drugs. Patent-pending hydrogel technology in SONA stabilizes the active compounds, including curcumin, in turmeric and prevents them from disintegrating rapidly. Additionally, full spectrum extract of turmeric in SONA contains most of the vital active ingredients occurring naturally in turmeric. The ingredients in SONA combine naturally to dramatically improve absorption. Thus, one of the key benefits of SONA is vastly improved absorption of active compounds in turmeric.

Anyone who suffers from daily or intermittent muscle aches and joint pains caused by aging, strains, exercise and over-exertion†. SONA is safe for daily use and you can take one daily to support normal joint function†.
