Now Foods Turmeric Curcumin Phytosome is a unique dietary supplement that contains curcumin phytosome. This unique form allows for better absorption of curcumin by the body.

Curcumin is an active plant ingredient derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa), a plant from the ginger family. Turmeric is a plant found primarily in South and Southeast Asia and is widely used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese folk medicine for its potential medicinal properties. It is worth noting that curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body in its natural form, therefore in the NOW FOODS product, curcumin is available in the form of a phytosome, along with a phosphatidylcholine complex, known as Meriva®. Thanks to this combination, curcumin is better absorbed by the body, which may affect its availability.

Curcumin phytosomes are curcumin particles surrounded by a lipid layer. This lipid coating imitates the lipid structure of cells in the mucous membranes of the digestive system. This makes the body more willing to absorb curcumin because it penetrates the intestinal mucosa more easily.

The lipid coating of curcumin phytosomes also protects curcumin from being broken down by stomach acid and digestive enzymes. This allows for greater survival of curcumin during digestion and its availability in further parts of the digestive system.

Now Foods Turmeric Curcumin Phytosome is the choice for those who want to include curcumin in their daily diet. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and does not contain genetically modified ingredients (non-GMO).
