It is found in the rhizome (underground stem) of the turmeric plant. This formula provides 400mg of curcumin per capsule from Curcuma longa rhizome, used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve joint inflammation (NPN 80068970).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiperine for Enhanced Absorption:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed from the digestive tract. It is broken down quickly by enzymes in the gut and liver before it can reach the bloodstream. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper (Piper nigrum), inhibits these enzymes, slowing the breakdown of curcumin and allowing more of it to be absorbed. This formula provides 4mg of piperine per capsule from 80mg of black pepper extract (2:1, QCE 160mg).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Piperine Also Affects Medications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because piperine inhibits the same enzymes that break down many medications, it can also slow the breakdown of other drugs and natural health products. This means piperine may increase the blood levels of other medications you are taking. This is why the caution to consult a health care practitioner before use if taking any other medications or natural health products is important.

That is the Health Canada approved use (NPN 80068970). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Curcumin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin is the primary curcuminoid in turmeric (Curcuma longa), the yellow-orange spice widely used in South Asian cooking. Curcumin is what gives turmeric its characteristic yellow color. It is found in the rhizome (underground stem) of the turmeric plant. Raw turmeric rhizome contains approximately 2 to 5% curcuminoids by weight, of which curcumin is the most abundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurcuma longa is a member of the Zingiberaceae (ginger) family, native to South and Southeast Asia. The rhizome is the part used medicinally. Curcumin has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional herbal medicine for centuries. The Health Canada approved use for this formula is: used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve joint inflammation (NPN 80068970).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding the Ingredient Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurcumin (Curcuma longa, rhizome):\u003c\/strong\u003e 400mg per capsule\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Pepper (Piper nigrum, fruit):\u003c\/strong\u003e 80mg per capsule (2:1 extract, QCE 160mg, providing 4mg Piperine)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adults: 1 capsule, 3 times per day\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuration of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e For use beyond 12 weeks, consult a health care practitioner\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsules per bottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupply at 3 capsules per day:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 days\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon Medicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnesium Stearate, Hypromellose (Capsule Shell)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Curcumin Needs Piperine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin has low oral bioavailability on its own. This means that when you swallow curcumin, only a small amount actually reaches your bloodstream. The rest is broken down in the gut and liver by enzymes (particularly CYP3A4) and eliminated before it can be absorbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePiperine is the compound that gives black pepper its pungent taste. It inhibits CYP3A4 and a transporter called P-glycoprotein, both of which are responsible for curcumin's rapid breakdown and elimination. By inhibiting these pathways, piperine slows curcumin's breakdown and increases the amount that reaches the bloodstream. This is the biochemical basis for the enhanced absorption claim in this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula provides 4mg of piperine per capsule from 80mg of black pepper extract (Piper nigrum, fruit, 2:1 extract, QCE 160mg). The 2:1 extract ratio means 2 parts of raw black pepper fruit are used to produce 1 part of extract, so 80mg of extract is equivalent to 160mg of raw black pepper fruit (QCE = Quantity of Crude Equivalent).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Piperine Affects Other Medications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause piperine inhibits CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, it can also slow the breakdown of many medications and natural health products that use these same pathways. This can increase the blood levels of those medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is why it is important to consult a health care practitioner before use if you are taking antiplatelet medication, blood thinners, or any other medications or natural health products. The interaction potential of piperine is the primary reason for this caution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho May Consider This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Adults seeking a Herbal Medicine remedy to help relieve joint inflammation\u003cbr\u003e\n• Those who want curcumin from turmeric rhizome combined with piperine for enhanced absorption\u003cbr\u003e\n• Those who want a Health Canada approved curcumin and piperine formula made in Canada\u003cbr\u003e\n• Vegans and vegetarians (hypromellose vegetable capsule)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not use if:\u003c\/strong\u003e you have gallstones or bile duct obstruction without first consulting a health care practitioner.

This formula provides 400mg of curcumin per capsule, used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve joint inflammation (NPN 80068970). Curcumin has low oral bioavailability on its own due to rapid breakdown by gut and liver enzymes. Piperine (4mg per capsule from 80mg of Piper nigrum fruit extract, 2:1, QCE 160mg) inhibits these enzymes, enhancing curcumin absorption. Because piperine inhibits the same enzymes that metabolize many medications, consult a health care practitioner before use if taking any medications or natural health products.
