What is Curcumin C3 Complex?

Curcumin C3 Complex is a patented extract of curcumin. The herbal compound is known for its wide range of health benefits. The Curcuminoids C3 present are the active ingredients from the curcuma longa root. There are several curcuminoids present in this turmeric plant, of which only three are active and bioactive. These are curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, hence the name C3 complex.

The advantages of Curcumin C3 over generic curcumin extracts:

• Patented: the formulation of Curcumin C3 and its use in supporting human health is protected by global and US patents.
• Clinically researched: Curcumin C3 has been used in more clinical studies than any other curcumin ingredient in the world.
• Standardised formula: Curcumin C3 is standardised to 95% curcuminoids, including 70-80% curcumin, 15-25% demethoxycurcumin and 2.5-6.5% bisdemethoxycurcumin.

Curcumin is the active ingredient and is extracted from the raw turmeric root plant through an extraction process. When we talk about turmeric extract or Curcuma Longa extract, we are actually talking about curcumin.

What is turmeric used for?

Turmeric can help protect and maintain overall health and, as an antioxidant, contributes to protection against free radicals. The beneficial effects of turmeric extend to many organs. It provides extensive and complex support to the immune system.

The beneficial effects of turmeric are further enhanced by ginger and black pepper. Synergistic action is extremely important in supporting health. This combination of herbs ensures good absorption of the active substances to reach the target cells, enabling it to have the correct anti-inflammatory effect.

What is the active ingredient in turmeric?

Turmeric is extracted from the Curcuma longa plant and is orange in colour. This plant has many names and is also known as koenjit, curcuma, yellow root and turmeric.

There are several types of turmeric plants, but only one has good medicinal properties that we have been using for thousands of years. This is Curcuma longa, a herb related to the ginger plant.

The active ingredient in turmeric (yellow root) is called curcumin. Curcumin is a polyphenol bioactive substance and, even in very small doses, can activate antibodies, contribute to the immune system and support the natural defence system.
