The most absorbable free form curcumin with CurQfen® and Turmacin® for longer lasting effects
Turmacin®, Turmerosaccharides, Curcuma longa
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a spice commonly used in East Asian curry dishes. Though most of the health-promoting effects are being attributed to the active molecule curcumin – research is shifting to understand the synergy of other components of this powerful root.
Plant-derived polysaccharides have potent immunostimulatory effects, as they can stimulate activity in various immune cell systems. The long polysaccharides in turmeric are called turmosaccharides or turmacin, and are the water-soluble compounds from turmeric root that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, independent of curcumin.
However, it also helps with curcumin bioavailability indicating that taken together, both curcumin and turmacin extracts provide synergistic actions against pain and inflammation associated with multiple disorders.
Technical insights:
- Country of origin: India
- Starting material: Turmeric Curcuma longa rhizomes
- Turmacin® consists of polysaccharides (10% w/w) derived from curcumin-free turmeric isolates
- Stored form: Brown to dark brown powder
Ingredient Benefits
Anti-inflammatory
In animal studies, Turmacin® has been shown to reduce inflammatory agents (interleukin-12 and PGE2) and stimulate anti-inflammatory factors (interleukin-10).
Pain-relieving
Turmacin® is well studied. In a trial on knee pain, compared to a placebo it was discovered that Turmacin® significantly improved knee pain and function among those with inflammatory osteoarthritis of the knee.
Supports joint and health
Osteoarthritis patients showed symptom improvement (measured by physical performance, questionnaires, and clinician assessment) when given Turmacin® over time. Turmacin® was well-tolerated and no adverse reactions associated with treatment were reported.
The polysaccharides in the form of Turmacin® is a unique formulation which achieves even higher levels of free form than any other formulation, but also levels that stay in the body for longer duration. This is important since the dose required is not only lower but also can be taken less often.
