Turmeric from India
Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is a ginger plant native to India, where it has been revered as sacred for over 5000 years. According to ancient writings in the Indian Vedas, "turmeric" or "Indian saffron" was considered one of the most important spices of its time. Turmeric species have also been known in European herbalism since ancient times. In both cases, turmeric has been traditionally valued for the synergy of the nutrients found in the roots.
Turmeric is one of the most well-researched plants in the world—research primarily focuses on curcuminoids, a group of phytochemicals found in the plant's roots.
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 + powder contains 150mg pure curcuminoids, equivalent to 10,669mg turmeric powder. Organic piperine acts as a bioenhancer, increasing absorption of the poorly soluble, lipophilic curcuminoids with a low bioavailability by 2000%. The extract is derived through a pure ethanol extraction process and is therefore guaranteed free from 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 extraction residues such as n-hexane, acetone and methanol.
Organic Turmeric Powder: The Full Spectrum of Turmeric
Each capsule contains 150mg 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.
