In an effort to bring you the latest advancements in science-backed supplements, CNCA now offers a new curcumin formula with improved bioavailability, Phyto-Curcumin Plus. This antioxidant formula helps protect your body from the damage caused by free radicals and supports healthy inflammatory balance.

Phyto-Curcumin Plus combines 525mg of curcumin phytosome with the enzymes serratiopeptidase and bromelain. Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme isolated from the silk worm and Bromelain is a mixture of digestive enzymes derived from the stem of the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). This combination of ingredients works synergistically to promote the body's ability to manage a healthy inflammatory response, promote joint flexibility and function, and support a healthy respiratory system.

Enhanced Absorption

Normally curcumin by itself is unstable at intestinal pH, with a half-life of only ten minutes, which results in low oral absorption and necessitates very high doses in order to achieve potentially therapeutic levels. Phyto-Curcumin Plus overcomes low intestinal absorption by combining curcumin with a phospholipid, specifically phosphatidylcholine derived from non-GMO soy. This significantly reduces degradation and capitalizes on the ability of phospholipids to be transported into cells.

This Curcumin-Phosphatidylcholine Complex or "phytosome" has shown a much longer half-life in the intestines than curcumin alone, with 82% of the phytosome persisting after 4 hours. In a human pharmacokinetic study, this translated to nearly 20-fold greater absorption of orally administered curcumin phytosome, compared to curcumin alone.

Curcumin in Traditional Medicine

Curcumin is the familiar yellow pigment in turmeric, a key ingredient in Indian cuisine. Tumeric is derived from the thizomes of the Curcuma longa. The rhizome (underground stems) has a long tradition of medicinal use to maintain a healthy inflammation response, and thousands of pre-clinical studies have demonstrated numerous direct and genomic effects on supporting a healthy inflammatory response and cycle.
