The Origin

Theracurmin® starts off as raw turmeric, sourced and harvested from carefully selected farms and production areas in Asia.

Selection Process

The ingredients in Theracurmin® are raw materials that can be taken safely from the start. Theracurmin is made with everyone in mind and is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-allergic.

Manufacturing

Starting as Turmeric, the raw materials are dried, ground, and transformed into curcumin. The raw curcumin powder is then micronized with patented technology and spray-dried. After being carefully inspected for quality control, the manufactured Theracurmin® is packed and shipped.

What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a perennial plant of the ginger family and is widely spread throughout Southeast Asia. Commonly used as a spice, flavoring, and coloring agent and as a food preservative, turmeric is used often in curries.

What is Curcumin?

Curcumin is a polyphenol contained in the rhizome of turmeric and is the main active ingredient in turmeric. Curcumin gives turmeric its unmistakable, bright yellow color. Curcumin is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and for being a great source of anti-oxidants. However, when taken in a standard powdered form the benefits are not maximized due to low bioavailability. Studies are constantly being conducted on curcumin and its benefits.

What is Theracurmin®?

Theracurmin® was created in order to combat the low bioavailability and absorption rates that curcumin has. Using Japanese technology such as sub-micron particle processing and surface controlled technique, particles of curcumin are made to optimum size to be more easily absorbed by the human body.

Theracurmin® vs. Curcurmin

Theracurmin® is significantly reduced in size compared to regular curcumin particles, making it easily absorbable, and giving it a higher bioavailability than raw curcumin.

Absorption of Theracurmin®

The larger the particle size, the harder it is to be absorbed into our bodies. While turmeric has been used as a health supplement for centuries, a large amount needs to be ingested in order to see any benefits. Theracurmin® possesses high bioavailability, making it easier for our bodies to absorb and make use of its health properties.

Dispersion of Curcumin

The small particle size of Theracurmin® also makes it easy to blend in liquid. The dispersion of Theracurmin® in water remains the same color and opacity and does not settle compared to other curcumin preparations.

Dispersion in Action

Once stirred into a liquid, Theracurmin® does not clump together, sit on top of the surface or sink to the bottom, but disperses evenly throughout the liquid. Consuming Theracurmin® this way will not impact its health properties.

Bioavailability Graph

90 mg of Theracurmin® is over 42 times more bioavailable than 90 mg of ordinary curcumin. The study conducted was a randomized, open-label, cross-over study with 24 healthy participants. Findings showed that Theracurmin® is more easily absorbed in the body than regular curcumin, making Theracurmin® more effective.
