Igennus Longvida® Optimised Curcumin 500mg, 30 capsules
Food supplement
Great for: high intensity support delivering active curcumin to the body and brain, sustaining high peak plasma levels
IMPORTANT NOTE: we have recently changed manufacturers whose encapsulation technique produces a different appearance (texture and colour). The raw material is the same, high-quality Longvida curcumin; you may receive either batch.
Curcumin is a flavonoid extract of turmeric root but it is poorly absorbed in the body and rapidly metabolised into inactive forms. Longvida® Optimised Curcumin™ harnesses a patented lipid delivery technology that offers 285x greater bioavailability, 65x higher peak plasma levels, and 7x longer-lasting action than standard curcumin. Longvida curcumin is highly stable and highly soluble, optimised to deliver free curcumin (the active form that is not metabolised or glucuronidated) into the bloodstream and target tissues. Free curcumin is the only form that is proven to reach the brain.

Longvida technology addresses factors associated with poor bioavailability by providing a unique phospholipid and fatty acid coating that surrounds the curcumin molecule and enables it to be transported into the lymphatic system rather than the circulatory system. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system bypasses the liver (the major organ for metabolism), so less curcumin is exposed to metabolic enzymes and remains in the free active form.
