CBD (cannabidiol)

Provitura bruger en mikroemulgeret, vandopløselig CBD-formulering. Kliniske studier har vist, at denne type formulering kan øge optagelsen op til fire gange sammenlignet med traditionel CBD-olie [1,2].

Forskning undersøger CBD’s potentielle rolle inden for:

Stress og Angst Et randomiseret klinisk forsøg (2024) med 300 deltagere viste, at CBD-gruppen oplevede den største forbedring af angstsymptomer. En stor caseserie (2019) med 72 voksne fandt, at 79,2 % oplevede forbedret angst inden for den første måned [3,4,5].

Søvnkvalitet I den samme caseserie rapporterede 66,7 % forbedret søvn inden for den første måned. Forskning tyder på, at CBD’s søvneffekt delvist kan skyldes en reduktion af angst og tankemylder [4,6].

Smerte & inflammation Et tværsnitsstudie (2022) med 428 deltagere med gigt viste, at 83 % rapporterede smertelindring ved brug af CBD. En gennemgang fra 2020 dokumenterer CBD’s antiinflammatoriske mekanismer og finder antioxidantaktivitet højere end vitamin E eller C i laboratoriestudier [7,8].

Humør & Mental Balance Dyreforsøg har vist hurtige antidepressivlignende effekter, og forskning på mennesker indikerer, at CBD kan støtte følelsesregulering via serotoninsystemet. Der mangler dog stadig større studier på mennesker [9,10].

Curcumin

Curcumin er det aktive stof i gurkemeje. En meta-analyse af 32 kliniske studier med over 2.000 deltagere viste, at curcumintilskud reducerede flere markører for inflammation [11]. Forskning på personer med slidgigt har vist forbedret smerte og funktion sammenlignet med placebo [12].

Curcumin har naturligt lav biotilgængelighed, hvilket er grunden til, at Provitura kombinerer det med piperin [13].

Piperin

Piperin er det aktive stof i sort peber og fungerer som en “bioenhancer”. En klinisk undersøgelse viste, at 20 mg piperin øgede blodniveauerne af curcumin med omkring 2000 % sammenlignet med curcumin alene [13].
