Curcumin 200mg is a liquid curcumin preparation in a 225ml bottle. It is intended for adults who want to add curcumin to their diet and prefer a liquid form instead of capsules or tablets.
Let's clarify something from the start. Curcumin is a plant component and does not have an approved health claim in the European Union. The related claims are under evaluation by the EFSA. Below you will read exactly what the substance is, where it comes from and what place it has in research, without promises for actions that have not been approved.
Curcumin is a polyphenol isolated from the rhizome of the plant Curcuma longa, turmeric. It belongs to the group of curcuminoids, along with demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, and is responsible for the bright yellow color of the spice. In the rhizome itself, curcumin is present in a percentage of only a few percentage points, which is why supplements use an extract, not spice powder.**
Turmeric is a perennial plant of the Zingiberaceae family, a relative of ginger, native to Southeast Asia. Its rhizome has been used for thousands of years as a seasoning and as a dye, and it holds a steady place in traditional Indian practices. In the modern food industry, you also encounter it as a food dye with the code E100.**
Curcumin is a lipophilic substance with low solubility in water, a characteristic that makes the form of the preparation an important parameter. The liquid form allows for dosage adjustment with the dosing device of the package and is beneficial for those who have difficulty swallowing capsules. The 225ml bottle is of medium size and is sufficient for several weeks, depending on the daily dose on the label.
Curcumin is one of the most studied natural molecules of the last decades, with thousands of publications covering everything from its chemistry to its bioavailability. Much of this research is preclinical and human data continues to be collected. None of these studies have led, to date, to an approved health claim in the European Union.**
Follow the dosage and dosing device of the package or the recommendation of your pharmacist. Do not increase the amount by eye.
Since curcumin is lipophilic, taking it with a meal containing fat is the most reasonable option.
Turmeric has a characteristic, slightly bitter and earthy flavor. In beverage preparations it is usually toned down, but not completely eliminated.
