In the spotlights: Curcumin SLCP™

Curcuma (or curcuma longa) has been a well-known substance and a much sought-after dietary supplement for many years. But do you already know curcumin? It is 'family' of curcuma and certainly so interesting and valuable. You can read more about it in this blog.

What is curcumin?

Curcuma has become an indispensable part of the kitchen and health industry. Curcumin, on the other hand, is not yet well known, while it has countless good properties. Curcumin is the main active ingredient of curcuma, an aromatic spice from the root of the Curcuma longa (turmeric root). Curcumin, for starters, has a beneficial effect on the immune system* and it helps to keep the lungs and upper respiratory tract healthy*. In addition, it effectively supports the mental balance* and the functioning of the nervous system*. In addition, curcumin contributes to the maintenance of flexible joints* and strong bones*. Curcumin is also good for a number of organs: it helps to keep the lungs and upper respiratory tract healthy*, it has a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels* and it supports the cleansing effect of the liver*. All in all an ingenious substance, that curcumin!

The absorbability of curcumin

The greatest challenge in developing curcumin preparations is the degree of absorbability and bioavailability. Our body does not or hardly absorb 'raw' curcumin. Verdure Sciences®, the producer of the Curcumin SLCP™ from Golden Naturals, has succeeded after years of research and collaboration with the University of California (UCLA) to enormously improve and increase the absorbability of curcumin with a patented technology. They introduced Longvida® Optimized Curcumin Extract.

Curcumin SLCP™: up to 65 times better absorption

The patented Longvida® contains curcumin optimized by the SLCP™ formula: solid lipid curcumin particles. A technique in which the curcumin is, as it were, packaged in a fat-like form (lipids) that makes absorption a lot easier. After ingestion, SLCP™ enters the body via the lymph and 'evades' the intestines and liver, so that more curcumin is absorbed into the blood, tissues and cells. Thanks to the patented SLCP™ technology, the absorbability of curcumin is increased by 65 times and the bioavailability by no less than 285 times (compared to standard curcumin preparations with 95% curcumin).
