Curcumin is a widely studied substance that belongs to the category of polyphenols and presents significant benefits to the human body.
More specifically, curcumin is known for its antioxidant properties.
Other properties of turmeric include its contribution to the normal function of the heart, nervous and immune systems, as well as to the maintenance of the normal state of the liver and skin.*
However, the clinical efficacy of curcumin is low due to its limited solubility and bioavailability, as well as its rapid metabolism by the gastrointestinal system.
This results in the low absorption of curcumin by the body, since 3 hours after taking it, it is almost undetectable in the blood serum.
To address this problem of low absorption, researchers have developed different forms over the last decade, with an emphasis on improving the bioavailability of curcumin.
Micelles have been found to have increased bioavailability up to 50 times higher compared to other forms such as phytosomes and liposomes and 100 times higher bioavailability compared to simple curcumin formulations.
Micelles are water-soluble microscopic spherical structures that form when fat-soluble substances (e.g. oils, vitamins, curcumin) are “packaged” with surfactant molecules, so that they become water-soluble and more easily absorbed by the body.
Viogenesis’ micellar curcumin encapsulates curcumin in microscopic hydrophilic spheres, using NovaSOL® nanotechnology, resulting in its high absorption from the intestine and its increased bioavailability, which was found to be 185 times higher, based on AUC.
Therefore, Viogenesis' micellar curcumin is an innovative and usable form by the body that has 185 times higher absorption, remains in the bloodstream for 24 hours and is equivalent to 72 capsules of 100 mg of simple curcumin extract.
1 capsule a day with a little water or other drink.
