Curcumin is the active compound found in the rhizomes of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Used for centuries in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, Curcumin is now a scientifically backed ingredient in modern nutraceuticals, functional foods, and skincare.
Curcumin Extract is derived from dried turmeric root and is commonly standardized to contain high levels of curcuminoids (typically 95%) for maximum efficacy. It is used in the treatment and prevention of various conditions including inflammation, joint pain, oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, and cognitive decline.
To improve its absorption, Curcumin is often combined with black pepper extract (piperine) or formulated using nano, liposomal, or bioavailable forms.
