Curcumin Phytosome - 60 Servings Details

Turmeric has been extensively researched for its health-promoting properties. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as Ayurvedic medicine, for more than 2,000 years. Curcuminoids, the most-active components in turmeric, provide numerous health benefits, such as promoting joint health and flexibility, supporting the liver and digestive system, and aiding cardiovascular health. Additionally, curcumin acts as a powerful antioxidant.*

Curcumin’s ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response makes it especially helpful for those dealing with intermittent physical discomfort. It can help ease tension in muscles and joints caused by overuse. A balanced inflammatory response is also vital for the health of the brain, eyes, liver, digestive tract, kidneys, and cardiovascular system.*

Thorne’s Curcumin Phytosome is formulated exclusively with Meriva®, the most clinically studied curcumin on the market. As a phytosome complex, Meriva provides superior absorption over other curcumin extracts. A human study demonstrated 29-times greater absorption of Meriva than ordinary curcumin.

INTERACTIONS

Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

Frequent Questions

Is Curcumin Phytosome right for me?
Curcumin Phytosome is beneficial for those looking to promote a healthy inflammatory response and may provide relief for overused muscles and joints. In addition, maintaining a healthy inflammatory response is essential to a healthy GI tract, brain, eyes, and liver.*

What testing does Thorne complete for Curcumin Phytosome?
We test each ingredient for identity, purity, and potency to ensure every ingredient and finished product meet our strict quality standards at the time of manufacture and up to the product’s expiration date. This includes checking for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes. When the product carries the NSF Contents Certified mark, it means it has been third-party tested and certified according to strict standards for quality, safety, and label claims.

Does Curcumin Phytosome contain black pepper to aid in absorption?
We do not use black pepper (or piperine) in our curcumin products, because black pepper can irritate the gut mucosa. Our Curcumin Phytosome products contain Meriva®, which complexes curcumin with phospholipids (including phosphatidylcholine) to provide significantly better absorption of the curcumin than uncomplexed curcumin or curcumin blended with piperine.

How is Curcumin Phytosome different from regular curcumin or turmeric?
Curcumin Phytosome contains curcumin, a major polyphenol constituent in turmeric. Because curcumin itself is difficult to absorb, the curcumin in Curcumin Phytosome is bound to phospholipids to enhance its absorption using phytosome technology. Thorne Curcumin Phytosome exclusively uses Meriva®, the most clinically studied curcumin on the market; as a phytosome complex, Meriva provides 29-times greater absorption compared to other curcumin extracts.

Can the sunflower phospholipids in Curcumin Phytosome cause an allergic reaction?
The phospholipid complex in our phytosome products, including Curcumin Phytosome, is extracted from sunflower oil. If there is a history of allergy to sunflower, we would not recommend using this product.

When will I see results from Curcumin Phytosome?
Everyone’s body is different, and therefore the timeframe can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and the type of supplement you're taking. Some people notice changes in a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Supplements work gradually to support long-term health.
