Turmeric (Curcuma) from India
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a plant native to India that belongs to the family of ginger plants, has been considered sacred for more than 5000 years. The ancient Indian Vedas scriptures indicate that the "yellow root," or "Indian saffron," has long been one of the country's most important spices. In Ayurvedic tradition as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the root is still believed to have important medicinal and therapeutic uses, and has warming, cleansing, and stimulating properties. In Europe, different types of yellow root have also been known to serve as liver and gall bladder remedies since ancient times. Turmeric is one of the most well-researched plants in the world, with most scientific interest focussing on the plant's unique curcuminoids. However, other components of the root (such as essential oils and tumerosaccharides) are increasingly becoming the focal point of research.
Curcuminoids, or "Curcumin"
Curcumin, cyclocurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and demethoxycurcumin (the curcuminoids, or "curcumin") are key components of the root. Each capsule of our premium turmeric extract contains 100mg pure curcuminoids. Organic piperine acts as a bioenhancer, increasing absorption of the non-easily-soluble, lipophilic curcuminoids with a low bioavailability by 2000%. The extract is derived through an ultra pure ethanol extraction process and is therefore guaranteed free from toxic extraction residues such as n-hexane, acetone, and methanol.
20x Higher Bioavailability Due to Piperine
The alkaloid piperine is a bioenhancer commonly found in pepper that improves the bioavailability of other ingredients by increasing intestinal wall permeability and blocking liver enzymes (CYP-enzymes) that impede the reabsorption of certain ingredients due to the first pass effect. The piperine used in our products is derived from black pepper extract and is guaranteed free from synthetic materials as well as pesticides and toxic extraction residues such as n-hexane, acetone and methanol.
Organic Turmeric Powder—The Full Spectrum of Turmeric
Each capsule contains 300mg pure turmeric powder from India that delivers the benefits of the turmeric root's essential oils, curcuminoids, and tumerosaccharides, as well as antioxidant ferulic and caffeic acids. The end result is a unique and highly bioavailable mixture that exhibits the best aspects of the turmeric root.
