For our CurcuRouge® capsules, we use a highly bioavailable, study-proven turmeric extract obtained via an innovative extraction process developed by leading bioavailability expert Dr. Hashimoto.
As turmeric naturally has low bioavailability, manufacturers have been trying for years to improve its low oral absorption, low solubility and rapid metabolism of curcuminoids using innovative extraction processes, vesicles and enhancers. Our CurcuRouge® is obtained through an expertly developed, patented extraction process using a novel polymer matrix, which significantly improves stability and solubility.
Many turmeric extracts on the market have an ordered structure and are therefore very stable, but are also less soluble and thus only available to the human body to a limited extent. Through processes such as heating or cooling, an amorphous (i.e., non-ordered) structure of the curcuminoids is created, which is less stable but more soluble and more bioavailable than standard turmeric extracts.
By stabilising the amorphous structure with an innovative polymer matrix in CurcuRouge®, experts succeeded in improving the bioavailability of the curcuminoids through optimised stability and solubility. This allows for the 40% curcumin contained to be absorbed well by the body and show 93x higher bioavailability than conventional turmeric extracts. Due to this unique formulation, lower doses of CurcuRouge® are necessary to achieve the desired results compared to conventional turmeric extracts.
Only high-quality, sustainably cultivated Indian turmeric root is used for this product. The roots are processed into our highly bioavailable Courcurouge™ via an expertly developed, patented extraction process. We do not use controversial additives, artificial curcuminoids, nanotechnologies or enhancers such as piperine.
We use high-fibre starch from maize seed as a filler. The maize used for this comes from natural non-GMO cultivation.
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.
