The fundamental distinction between BioSoluble® Curcumin™ and its regular (standard) counterpart lies in its bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to the ability of nutrients to be absorbed and utilized by the body. In the case of standard curcumin, it poses a significant challenge for absorption because both its turmeric source and the curcumin extraction are virtually insoluble. In simple terms, the more-water soluble a nutrient is, the greater its bioavailability. This is the same scientific principle for drugs. Consequently, standard turmeric and curcumin capsules are virtually insoluble.
In contrast, BioSoluble® Curcumin™ is enveloped Beta-cyclodextrin (BCD), making it highly soluble in water and allowing it to pass easily through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. This results in significantly higher yields of free curcumin per capsule. Finally, BioSoluble® Curcumin is flexible in its delivery options. For people who can’t swallow capsules, the BioSoluble® Curcumin™ can be added to any liquid for easy delivery into the body. There is no bitter taste like what is associated with standard turmeric and curcumin.
