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.
