Our Actbiome® Curcuma MucoCur is a polar nonpolar sandwich (PNS) of turmeric fibre, curcuminoids and asafoetida. Asafoetida is the milky, resinous latex from Ferula assa-foetida, a plant native to Iran and Afghanistan. The sophisticated matrix of turmeric fibre and asafoetida creates a synergetic environment between all the ingredients, ensuring higher stability and bioavailability.
Since the natural bioavailability of curcuma is low, significant efforts have been made over the years to improve its poor oral absorption, low solubility and rapid metabolism, either via innovative extraction, vesicles or enhancers. In our Actbiome® Curcuma MucoCur, the curcuminoids are incorporated between two layers of polar turmeric fibre and non-polar asafeotida using innovative PNS Technology (Polar Non-Polar Sandwich Technology). This approach facilitates the transfer of bioactives through lipid membranes, improving their bioavailability. In this case, the curcuminoids are protected in a natural matrix, allowing their bioactivity and effectiveness to improve. This formulation requires no additives or auxiliary substances.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass jars.
