Curcumin supplements often have one problem: absorption. This is resolved by using natural liposomes.
This Liposomal Curcumin contains only pure ingredients and has high bioavailability thanks to the use of natural liposomes. This product therefore cannot be compared with other curcumin supplements. The capsules are also easy to take and have a neutral taste. Are you looking for the best curcumin supplement? We are proud to offer you this one.
Curcumin, the main component of turmeric
Curcumin is the main active component of turmeric. Most people know turmeric from cooking, where the root is used as a spice. In the Netherlands, turmeric is also known as geelwortel or koenjit (from Indonesian). Besides its culinary uses, turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine (often abbreviated to TCM) under the name Jiang Huang. It also has a place in traditional Indian Ayurveda. The use of turmeric has now spread across the world.
It is difficult to get a large amount of curcumin simply by eating turmeric. Scientific research also tells us that when turmeric is eaten, its curcumin is not always readily absorbed in the human intestine. Research has also shown that some of the substance is deactivated in the liver (source). This is why special curcumin extracts are increasingly used in supplements such as this Liposomal Curcumin. These have been specially developed for excellent absorption. Supplementing your diet with a high-quality, potent curcumin supplement can therefore make a difference.
Curcumin and absorption
Curcumin's absorption may well be researched more extensively than its health benefits. Many studies show that a relatively small percentage of curcumin is actually absorbed by the body. Absorption is particularly low when taken orally. This is because it is not easily absorbed in our gastrointestinal tract and its distribution throughout our tissues is limited. The reason is that curcumin is converted into inactive metabolites in the intestine and liver. This is precisely why so much research focuses on improving the bioavailability of special curcumin extracts.
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) made a breakthrough in this area. Researchers there managed to improve the effectiveness of curcumin supplementation using a special curcumin extract. Here, curcumin is used in the form of SLCP (solid lipid curcumin particles). This unbound form of curcumin has around 65 times higher bioavailability. Sounds great, doesn't it? Unfortunately, not quite when we examine the patent and production process.
During production, the curcumin is enclosed in a fatty particle made up of long-chain fats. Unfortunately, alcohol, pressure and chemicals are used to achieve this. That is, of course, exactly what we do not want. The supplement also contains unwanted additives, and the fatty particle used is made from soya. This SLCP form of curcumin provides greater absorption, but at the same time introduces harmful substances into the body. That is something you want to avoid.

Liposomal Curcumin, the best absorption!
Finding a good curcumin supplement that is genuinely well absorbed by the body, responsibly produced and free from unhealthy substances is not easy. This has changed with the arrival of this dry Liposomal Curcumin, developed with LipoCellTech™. A liposome, a tiny fat sphere, is placed around the active curcumin. This is similar to the SLCP form discussed above. The major difference, however, is that this dry form of Liposomal Curcumin is produced without heat, pressure or chemicals. This dry liposome is so well made that it does not spoil easily. There is therefore no need to add anything to the capsule, such as fillers, anti-caking agents or other unwanted substances. All you take in is pure curcumin and a natural liposomal fat sphere made from sunflower lecithin.
We are proud to sell this dry liposomal curcumin. This curcumin has the highest absorption and contains just two pure ingredients: curcumin and phospholipids from plant-based fats. With our Liposomal Curcumin, you can be sure that the curcumin you take is actually absorbed and reaches the right places. Switch to the most readily absorbed curcumin supplement and benefit from the following advantages:
