Turmeric from India
The ginger plant turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), native to India, has been revered as a sacred plant for over 5,000 years. As ancient writings from Indian Vedas show, the "turmeric" or "Indian saffron" was considered one of the most important spices of its time. In ancient Indian teachings as well as in Chinese tradition, the root plays an important role today as it did then. In Europe, too, turmeric species have been known in herbalism since ancient times. turmeric is one of the best researched plants worldwide, with research largely focussed on the plant substance group of curcuminoids. The traditional use goes back to the synergy of all ingredients of the turmeric root.
Curcuminoids or "curcumin"
In their entirety, curcumin, cyclocurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin as well as demethoxycurcumin form the most important components of the root, the so-called curcuminoids, often shortened to "curcumin". The problem of the extremely low bioavailability of the lipophilic curcuminoids (poor solubility, weak absorption, hardly any membrane permeability, rapid decay) is solved by the liposomal formulation. The high bioavailability is achieved completely without any additives or active enhancers such as piperine.
