Swanson Theracurmin

Turmeric has been used in medicines and as a culinary spice for nearly 4,000 years, dating as far back as the Vedic culture in India, where it also held religious significance. Over the last 25 years, modern medicine has increasingly acknowledged the importance of turmeric as well, particularly the benefits of the curcuminoid curcumin, a well-known and frequently studied phytonutrient in turmeric. Curcumin, which is found in turmeric, is a powerful antioxidant and can help support heart, cardiovascular and joint health. More recently, exciting research revealed that curcumin supplements may have a positive impact on cognitive health–supporting memory, attention and mood in healthy, middle-aged or older adults. The type of curcumin used in the study was a highly-absorbable form of curcumin derived from Turmeric known as Theracurmin, which is 27 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin. Theracurmin is a proprietary turmeric preparation featuring finely milled turmeric in a colloidal suspension with glycerin and gum ghatti, a complex polysaccharide derived from the sap of the ghatti tree, which give Theracurmin excellent stability and solubility, dramatically enhancing bioavailability to increase curcumin levels in the blood. Research shows that Theracurmin is over 27 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin, finally giving us the opportunity to take full advantage of turmeric’s protective potential for brain, central nervous system, joint health and more. Curcumin’s usefulness has always been limited by its poor bioavailability. Due to its low water solubility and limited ability to withstand the acidic environment of the stomach, curcumin is typically poorly absorbed, rapidly metabolized and quickly excreted by the human body. Swanson Theracurmin High Absorption contains Turmeric Root Extract (Curcuma longa), standardized to minimum 27% Theracurmin curcumin in each 100 mg veggie Capsule.
