Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin Turmeric Extract, 400 mg, 60 Capsules

Description

What it is One vegetarian capsule a day gives you 400 mg of BCM-95 turmeric root extract, standardised to 95% curcuminoids and blended with turmeric’s natural essential oils. It’s gluten-free. One bottle is 60 serves.

Why the form matters Curcumin, the compound most studied in turmeric, is poorly absorbed on its own. The body breaks it down and clears it quickly. BCM-95 is one of several forms designed to get around that. The maker reports higher absorption than standard curcumin; those figures come from studies it funded, so read them in that light.

Worth knowing The maker advises checking with your doctor first if you’re being treated for a medical condition, and not exceeding one capsule a day.
