Tumeric is a herbal extract obtained from the dried rhizomes of Cucruma longa (turmeric) and standardized to contain 95% bioactive curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and demethoxycurcumin — collectively referred to as curcuminoids. Clinical evidence suggests that curcuminoids have ubiquitous roles in the body, affecting vital biological processes such as immune function, detoxification, metabolism, stress response, neuroplasticity, joint integrity, digestion, and much more [1]. When it comes to curcumin supplements and turmeric extract, curcuminoids are generally not well-absorbed orally, resulting in minimal uptake into the bloodstream [2]. We also added BioPerine® black pepper fruit extract to bolster intestinal uptake and reduce liver metabolism of bioactive curcuminoids.
