Turmeric from India

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), a plant native to India that belongs to the family of ginger plants, has been considered sacred for more than 5000 years. The ancient Indian Vedas scriptures indicate that the "yellow root," or "Indian saffron," has long been one of the country's most important spices. In Ayurvedic tradition as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the root is still believed to have important medicinal and therapeutic uses, and has warming, cleansing, and stimulating properties. In Europe, different types of yellow root have also been known to serve as liver and gall bladder remedies since ancient times. Turmeric is one of the most well-researched plants in the world, with most scientific interest focussing on the plant's unique curcuminoids. However, other components of the root (such as essential oils and tumerosaccharides) are increasingly becoming the focal point of research.

Curcuminoids or "Curcumin"

In addition to the unique chemical group of curcuminoids that includes curcumin, cyclocurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, turmeric also contains a spectrum of synergistic natural compounds that includes essential oils (such as sesquiterpene), polysaccharides (turmerosaccharides) and antioxidative phenolic acids (such as ferulic and caffeic acid). Each capsule contains 342mg pure curcuminoids, such that the capsule contents correspond to 23,214mg curcuma powder. Piperine functions as a bioenhancer, increasing the absorption rate of the difficult to dissolve, lipophilic and less bioavailable curcuminoids by 2000%. The extract is derived through a pure, food-grade ethanol extraction process and is therefore guaranteed free from toxic 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 toxic extraction residues such as n-hexane, acetone, and methanol.

Organic Turmeric Powder—The Full Spectrum of Turmeric

Each capsule contains 300mg 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.
