Why Choose This Formula

95% Curcuminoids Standardization: This formula is standardized to 95% curcuminoids, meaning 95% of the extract by weight is curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin combined). Raw turmeric root contains only 2 to 5% curcuminoids. A 95% standardized extract is approximately 19 to 47 times more concentrated than raw turmeric root. This is the pharmaceutical-grade standardization used in most clinical research on curcumin.

No Piperine: This formula does not contain piperine (black pepper extract). Piperine enhances curcumin absorption but also inhibits enzymes (CYP3A4) that metabolize many medications, which can alter the blood levels of other drugs. If you are taking medications and have been advised to avoid piperine, this piperine-free formula provides curcumin without the drug interaction risk associated with piperine.

Two Health Canada Approved Uses: This formula has two NPN approved uses: antioxidant for the maintenance of good health, and used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve joint inflammation (NPN 80040403).

Vegan Hypromellose Capsule: The capsule shell is made from hypromellose, a plant-derived cellulose. No gelatin. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

What Is Curcumin and What Are Curcuminoids?

Curcumin is the primary active compound in turmeric (Curcuma longa), the yellow-orange spice widely used in South Asian cooking. It is found in the root (rhizome) of the turmeric plant. Curcuma longa is a member of the ginger family, native to South and Southeast Asia.

Curcuminoids are the group of polyphenolic pigments in turmeric that give it its yellow color. There are three main curcuminoids: curcumin (the most abundant, approximately 75 to 80% of total curcuminoids), demethoxycurcumin (approximately 15 to 20%), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (approximately 3 to 5%). When a supplement says it is standardized to 95% curcuminoids, it means that 95% of the extract by weight is these three curcuminoids combined.

Raw turmeric root contains only 2 to 5% curcuminoids by weight. A 95% standardized extract is approximately 19 to 47 times more concentrated than raw turmeric root, providing a consistent and reliable amount of curcuminoids in each capsule.

This Formula vs. Curcumin with Piperine: Which to Choose?

Nutridom offers two curcumin formulas: this piperine-free version (NPN 80040403) and a version with piperine from black pepper (NPN 80068970). Both provide 400mg of curcumin per capsule. The key difference is piperine.

Curcumin with Piperine (NPN 80068970): Piperine enhances curcumin absorption by inhibiting the enzymes that break it down. However, piperine also inhibits the same enzymes that metabolize many medications, which can increase blood levels of other drugs. This version is not suitable for people taking medications that interact with piperine.

This Piperine-Free Formula (NPN 80040403): No piperine means no piperine-related drug interaction risk. Curcumin absorption is lower without piperine, but this formula is the appropriate choice for people taking medications who have been advised to avoid piperine. It also has two NPN approved uses (antioxidant and joint inflammation) vs. one for the piperine version (joint inflammation only).

Consult your healthcare provider to determine which formula is appropriate for you.
