Curcumin is a compound isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa), a spice commonly used in East Asian curry dishes. A significant number of human preclinical and clinical trials have demonstrated the beneficial health effects of curcumin, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties. Biochemical analysis has demonstrated that curcumin is insoluble in water and gastrointestinal fluid, is rapidly metabolized and poorly absorbed by cells, exhibits low blood-brain barrier permeability, and is rapidly cleared from the body. All of these factors limit its use as an effective natural functional agent.
As a result, the focus has been on developing more efficient delivery mechanisms for curcumin to maximize its multiple therapeutic effects. Curcumin Ultra is a revolutionary product in AOR's Ultra Series. It offers a unique combination of free curcuminoids (CurQfen®) and water-soluble turmeric polysaccharides (Turmacin®). This formula not only solves the bioavailability issues of other curcumin products, but it also provides the highest levels of free-form bioactive curcuminoids on the market! Curcumin Ultra is effective in combating multiple conditions, including acute and chronic pain, as well as inflammation.
AOR's Curcumin Ultra is the first product in Canada to combine CurQfen® with Turmacin®. This combination offers unprecedented absorption and bioavailability, providing the highest levels of biologically active free-form curcumin on the market. It combines many compounds derived from turmeric root for more balanced support. It is more stable than other curcumin products and has been shown to circulate in the blood for over 24 hours!
