Buy Longvida Curcumin [TOP]
Longvida is a patented, finely-tuned lipophilic matrix brought together in a gentle, multi-step process. The end product preserves and protects the curcumin from the harsh environment of the stomach, dissolves it at the point of absorption in the GI tract, and delivers the free form of curcumin (also called intact or native curcumin) into the blood stream and target tissues.

Longvida optimized curcumin extract powder offers an optimized formulation of curcumin, a powerful, natural oxidation balancing compound. The optimized formula allows greater absorption of curcumin into target tissue based on factors like permeability, stability, and solubility.
Longvida optimized curcumin extract powder was developed in conjunction with neuroscientists at UCLA. The supplement offers a greater safety profile and uses a proprietary process to maximize bioavailability and absorption.
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, responsible for giving the spice its yellow tint. It can also be found in smaller amounts in ginger. When isolated, curcumin is a small molecule alternately called a curcuminoid and has similar effects as other polyphenols, a class of organic micronutrients that often act as oxidation balancing compounds.
Curcumin has also been shown to have inflamation balancing effects. This offers wide range of potential applications. For example, curcumin can balance inflammation in the colon and digestive tract to help with digestion. The inflamation balancing properties may also promote cellular health.
IMPORTANT NOTE: we have recently changed manufacturers whose encapsulation technique produces a different appearance (texture and colour). The raw material is the same, high-quality Longvida curcumin; you may receive either batch.
Longvida is the only delivery system proven to deliver free form curcumin into the bloodstream and target tissues (all other supplements are converted to curcumin metabolites after being taken up by the liver and subject to enzyme conversion - conjugation and glucuronidation)
Longvida technology addresses poor bioavailability by providing a unique phospholipid and fatty acid coating surrounding the curcumin molecule, enabling it to be transported into the lymphatic system - this means one single dose of 500mg Longvida curcumin achieves clinically active plasma levels
In contrast with even phytosomal formulations, Longvida avoids conjugation and glucuronidation, enabling curcumin to remain in the free active form and offer an unrivalled half-life of over 7 hours. Longvida curcumin is the only form of curcumin proven to cross into the brain & exert its antioxidant effects neurologically
Longvida is the only delivery system proven to deliver free form curcumin into the bloodstream and target tissues (all other supplements are converted to curcumin metabolites after being taken up by the kidneys and subject to enzyme conversion - conjugation and glucuronidation)
Longvida technology addresses factors associated with poor bioavailability by providing a unique phospholipid and fatty acid coating that surrounds the curcumin molecule and enables it to be transported into the lymphatic system rather than the circulatory system. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system bypasses the liver (the major organ for metabolism), so less curcumin is exposed to metabolic enzymes and remains in the free active form.
Of these three, it is curcumin which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral and antifungal properties. Our Longvida Optimised Curcumin delivers high concentrations of curcumin in comparison to some other products which may deliver mainly DMC or BDMC.
Free curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier, unlike its breakdown products and other curcuminoids. As it stays in the body for long periods in the active, free form, Longvida is the only curcumin to cross the blood-brain barrier, with the potential for beneficial action in the brain.
Curcumin naturally has extremely poor bioavailability, meaning that very little gets absorbed into the blood, but passes through the gut unchanged. Most curcumin that is absorbed is broken down very quickly by gut enzymes and the liver. The half life of standard turmeric (the time taken to halve its concentration in the body) is less than 1 minute!
Longvida lipid technology overcomes poor curcumin absorption, efficiently delivering free curcumin, so powerful it delivers therapeutic blood levels with much smaller doses than other forms of curcumin, boasting an incredible half-life of over 7 hours.
Turmeric has been valued for well over two thousand years in Ayurvedic medicine for its wide-reaching health and wellbeing benefits. The curcuminoids are a group of active compounds in turmeric and include:

Several drug delivery strategies have been tested to improve the bioavailability of curcumin including solid dispersions, complexation with cyclodextrins, copolymeric micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based nanoparticles, liposomes, and micro-emulsions but few have made commercial success and been able to deliver efficacious levels of free curcumin opposed to its inactive metabolites such as glucuronides. The Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle (SLCP) Technology patented as Capsule Longvida encapsulates the free curcumin in a tri-lipid matrix, enhancing its solubility, allowing it to survive digestion and enter the bloodstream, target tissues.16,17
A recently carried out systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of turmeric extracts and curcumin for alleviating the symptoms of joint arthritis has highlighted the efficacy of turmeric extract (about 1000 mg/day of curcumin) in the treatment of arthritis, but has suggested the need for more rigorous clinical studies.18 041b061a72
