Question 1

Message to the manufacturer: Is this the same formulation as Nutrivene longvida curcumin?  Want something with the same proven bioavailability.

Accepted Answer

Hi Newbie, yes, we use Longvida Curcumin (500mg per capsule).  This form of delivery ensures that the curcumin stays in the 'free' form, significantly increasing the half life (so is retained in the body for longer) and is able to cross the blood brain barrier. Best wishes Dr Nina Bailey

Question 2

How much actual curcumin is on each of the capsules?

Accepted Answer

Many thanks for your query.  The Longvida Curcumin complex provides 23% curcuminoids of which ~20% is curcumin.  Therefore a 500mg capsule will provide 100mg curcumin. Best wishes. Dr Nina Bailey

Question 3

Straight answer, what is the curcumin content per capsule? I currently use a supplement which when taking 5 capsules, gives me 475mg,

Accepted Answer

Dear James, Each of our capsules provides 500mg Longvida Curcumin (delivering around 115mg free-form curcumin).   The patented Longvida delivery system creates a unique coating that acts to solubilise curcumin while also surrounding and protecting it from enzyme degradation.  By this method, Longvida has been clinically shown to improve curcumin’s uptake by the gut significantly and to transport it directly into the lymphatic system (rather than the circulation), bypassing the liver.   Longvida technology, therefore, allows curcumin to stay in its free-form active state achieving 65x higher peak plasma levels, 285x greater bioavailability and 7x longer-lasting action than standard unformulated curcumin.  Thus Longvida overcomes the need to take high doses standard curcumin, and the majority of studies using Longvida have actually demonstrated anti-inflammatory benefits at 400mg.
Best wishes. Dr Nina Bailey Registered Nutritionist (UKVRN 6624)
