Maximise the effectiveness of Curcumin with this pure heavy metal free blend combined with piperine aka black pepper extract to maximise absorption. To get the well reported benefits of Curcumin you want to take the pure extract, not Turmeric with some Curcumin in it.

Most supplement companies sell Turmeric - a now very popular supplement for its powerful antioxidant effect in the body, aiding in whole body balance, movement and vitality, but it’s not Turmeric we need, it’s the active component of that, Curcumin. So we set out to extract this at the research level dose of 1500mg, instantly making us better than 95% of the market as most companies use Turmeric, meaning you’re just taking curry capsules. If you have a Turmeric/Curcumin supplement right now, and it’s not ours, go check the label and see if it’s got 1500mg of active Curcumin in it (or ‘Curcuminoids’), we bet it doesn’t… and that’s why ours is AWESOME. Because we care about science!

Curcumin is a polyphenol extracted from turmeric. Its reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties are found to be much more effective than that of Turmeric, however, it is not easily absorbed unless combined with Piperine (black pepper extract).
Curcumin has been shown HERE to significantly reduce inflammatory markers, and there is evidence HERE that it can be as effective as anti-inflammatory pain medication in reducing discomfort in those with osteoarthritis.
This study also highlights the promising research on Curcumin supplementation on the management of PCOS.
While the above links to research on Curcumin and its physiological effects, these are not medical claims and we are not as a company making claims this product can aid medical conditions.
Good health
Defence + Omega + Joints = a healthy trio.This is a great question, and it's primarily due to the strength of our product. If you search online for ‘Curcumin supplements’ you will often find large dosage claims on the label, with turmeric being listed in the ingredients. Turmeric is great, but it’s the active Curcuminoids (which represent around 3% of the powder) that you want. According to the research you need around 1500mg per day of curcumin for a product to be effective in join pain management (alongside Piperine, a black pepper extract that maximises absorption). A product with 2000mg of turmeric therefore only has around 60mg of curcumin, far less than you need!
This is also why our Awesome Joints is on the higher side in terms of cost, it’s one of the highest strength on the market because we follow the proven research, nothing else. We never take short cuts, and this is why Awesome Joints is the best in class. Feel free to have a search online and see, you'll find a lot of "High dose Turmeric" supplements disguised as Curcumin supplements. You'll get what you pay for.
The research shows it significantly enhances absorption when used at 30mg per 750mg of curcumin. It works by blocking the enzymes your body uses to break down Curcumin quickly after absorption, so we have added this to ensure our product is as effective as possible.
Briefly, Curcumin has been found to be useful for various inflammatory conditions including arthritic pain, but also shows great promise in helping those with PCOS-related insulin resistance and even Type 2 Diabetes.
Because Curcumin is an antioxidant and potent anti-inflammatory, the research is primarily focused around inflammation-related joint health, so if you are suffering from joint pain, for example if you have a joint condition like osteoarthritis, taking Curcumin could be a worthwhile try in alleviating some of your symptoms.
People that exercise a lot can also experience joint pain due to repetitive load on the joints, and so if this is you curcumin may be of benefit, too.
Beyond this, chronic inflammation can contribute to various other conditions that may appear less obvious. One systematic review of small trials and pilot studies found that curcumin was able to reduce markers of insulin resistance, leptin, and blood glucose levels in those with Type 2 diabetes.
Other research into PCOS-related insulin resistance found that curcumin improved glucose control and, while the evidence is still early, curcumin has even been found beneficial in depression with plausible mechanisms of action existing to explain why.
As always, we do not recommend using supplements in place of any medication (indeed many trials use curcumin as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes alongside traditional medication). Always consult your doctor before use.
