nCurcumin Nutrition

Curcumin is the main bioactive compound found in the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, known as turmeric. This polyphenolic compound possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, antidiabetic, antidepressant, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

• Powerful Antioxidant: Neutralizes the action of free radicals, increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the body.
• Anti-inflammatory: Regulates multiple cellular signaling pathways responsible for the inflammatory response and the expression of antioxidant genes.
• Cardiovascular Health: Improves endothelial function and the lining of blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
• Brain Function: Increases levels of BDNF, a hormone that promotes the growth of new neurons and combats degenerative processes in the brain, preventing neurodegenerative conditions.
• Treatment of Chronic Diseases: Reduces markers of chronic inflammation, aiding in the treatment of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.

Curcumin supplementation faces challenges due to its low solubility in gastrointestinal fluid and instability when exposed to factors such as heat, light, and oxygen. These difficulties result in low bioavailability and ineffective absorption when curcumin is consumed in its free form. Nanoencapsulation emerges as an innovative solution, improving curcumin’s solubility and stability. Using polymeric nanoparticles, this technique protects curcumin from degradation, increasing its absorption and bioavailability, and allows for controlled and gradual release in the body, thus optimizing its benefits.

Usage Recommendations: Oil capsules, oral solution, edible gel, syrup, vial, gummies.

Active Ingredient: Curcumin (INCI: CURCUMIN, CAS: 458-37-7).
