Curcumin as 100% CurcuWin

Curcumin as 100% CurcuWin® 250mg 60 vege-capsules. Relative absorption 46x over standard curcumin (Meriva, BCM-95, C3). Don't load up on 10-30 capsules per day of curcumin just to see it pass through your digestive system with very poor bioavailability.

Now, a single 250mg capsule can equal twenty-three and one half 95% curcumin 500mg capsules, or eleven and one half 1000mg capsules. Wouldn't you rather take one 250mg capsule instead of twenty-three 500mg Curcuma Longa capsules?

In a robust human clinical trial comparing commercial curcumin products, CurcuWin was conclusively proven the most bioavailable curcumin product on the market today. Manufactured with OmniActive's proprietary UltraSOL molecular dispersion technology.

OmniActive’s new CurcuWIN ingredient (20% curcuminoids) is highly bioavailable, thanks to UltraSOL molecular dispersion. UltraSOL converts lipophilic nutrients into water-dispersible ingredients and enhances the bioavailability of poorly absorbed nutrients using food-grade excipients and antioxidants.

CurcuWIN’s bioavailability is backed by a clinical trial by the University of Tampa and Increnovo LLC. The results were impressive: CurcuWIN increased serum curcuminoid levels *at least* 46 times over standard curcumin. Importantly, instead of comparing against standard curcumin ingredients, which may not be very bioavailable, the researchers also made sure to compare CurcuWIN to other bioavailable curcumin ingredients for true, apples-to-apples results. CurcuWIN was more bioavailable by far."

Discussion of Relentless Improvement's CurcuWin Curcumin product vs Longvida Curcumin product: http://relentlessimprovement.blogspot.com/2014/09/curcuwin-curcumin-vs-longvida.html

*Longvida used "fat-fed" test subjects (cream cheese bagels) which greatly influenced the test results to their benefit (3x-4x).

*Longvida study was not peer-reviewed.

*Jaeger CurcuWin study was conducted on fasting subjects, a "worst-case" scenario for curcumin bioavailability.

*Fat-fed vs fasting subject bioavailability and duration of plasma levels is approximately 3-4x difference!

*The Jaeger study dose was 376mg of CurcuWin vs the Longvida study used a 650mg dose (almost twice as much)

*Even with all the factors in Longvida's favor, the Longvida takes more than twice as long to reach its (lower) peak (~22 vs 27) and falls off precipitously while CurcuWin maintains very high plasma levels.

*Longvida material is very similar (nearly identical) to Meriva product in it's formulation (chemical composition). PK studies of the two (the Jaeger study) could therefore be reasonably inferred to be essentially identical in result.

*Clearly documented in the results- Those unable or unwilling to take a curcumin product (other than CurcuWin) without a high-fat meal should expect to suffer a severe degradation of bioavailability!

*Added benefits: CurcuWin's unique formulation inhibits formations of conjugates, bad metabolites of curcumin, that offer no benefits in humans, and promotes good metabolites such as THC- TetrahydroCurcuminoids.

*As compared to "regular curcumin", use of the CurcuWin product will not cause any unusual body odors or skin coloration.
