Igennus Longvida Lipidated Curcumin 500mg, Ultra Bioavailable & Sustained Action, Vegan – 30 Capsules: Health & Personal Care

Description

Curcumin in its active free form is the most beneficial of 3 main curcuminoids in turmeric, including DMC and BDMC. Studies show that free form curcumin is the most potent. Longvida Optimized Curcumin delivers high concentrations of superior free form curcumin in comparison to other formulations which typically raise levels of the lesser active curcuminoids (DMC or BDMC). Longvida Optimized Curcumin and the brain Free form curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier, unlike its metabolites and other curcuminoids. As it stays in the body for long periods in the active, free form, Longvida is the only curcumin proven 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, mainly passing through the gut unchanged. 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 technology provides a coating of fatty acids and phospholipids around the curcumin molecule, resulting in rapid absorption in the digestive system. The protective nature of the Longvida solid lipid curcumin particle (SLCP) system delivers curcumin directly into the lymphatic system, which is responsible for transporting fluid around the body, rather than the bloodstream. This means that active, free form curcumin can reach the body’s cells without being broken down by liver enzymes, resulting in an exceptional half-life of over 7 hours in the body. Longvida lipid technology overcomes poor bioavailability of standard curcumin, efficiently delivering free curcumin, delivering therapeutic blood levels with much smaller doses than other delivery systems. Longvida allows curcumin to last 7x longer in the body and increases blood concentrations 65x higher, with 285x greater bioavailability than standard curcumin. Piperine (black pepper extract) improves absorption of curcuminoids by suppressing liver function, to slow down the breakdown. The effects are minimal, with a half-life of around 6 minutes vs Longvida’s half-life of 7.5 hours! In addition, suppressing liver detoxification pathways long-term could lead to a build-up of toxins, medications and excess hormones in the body. Meriva curcumin is well absorbed but principally elevates the other curcuminoids, not free curcumin. It is also broken down rapidly in the liver and quickly flushed out of the body. Novasol & CurcuWIN have good bioavailability, but lack clinical trial evidence.

Longvida Optimized Curcumin has been formulated to enhance the absorption and retention of free curcumin (the active form that is not metabolised or glucuronidated) into the bloodstream and target tissues. Free curcumin is the only form that is proven to reach the brain. This patented lipid delivery technology offers 285x greater bioavailability, 65x higher peak plasma levels, and 7x longer-lasting action than standard curcumin. All of our supplements are expertly developed in-house by nutrition scientists and our resident doctor, to efficiently raise nutrient levels in the body for maximum results. We are obsessed with bioavailability and formulate our supplements considering the full journey of the nutrient inside the body. From pill to cell, we seek to maximise the absorption, saturation and retention of the active ingredients. We are always mindful of the synergies and interactions of nutrients within the body to avoid disrupting homeostasis. We carefully source from reputable suppliers, whose raw materials are tested before production, ensuring we only use super-pure ingredients in our products. We use UK, European & USA facilities that manufacture in compliance with strict and stringent GMP (good manufacturing practices) – quality standards that medicines manufacturers must meet in their production processes to ensure products are of consistent high quality that you can trust 100%. We promise consistent high quality, safety and purity and stated doses for the entire shelf life. We reject before manufacturing any ingredients that do not match our exacting standards. We test finished products to ensure we offer you the active levels we state on the nutritional panel, which also always details both bulk and active ingredient, for greater transparency. We avoid common allergens, including dairy, gluten, lactose, soya and yeast Always GMO-free No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives Halal & kosher ingredients Curcumin is a flavonoid extract of Turmeric root but it is poorly absorbed in the body and rapidly metabolized into inactive forms. Longvida optimised Curcumin harnesses a patented lipid delivery technology that offers 285x greater bioavailability, 65x higher peak plasma levels, and 7x longer-lasting action than standard Curcumin. Longvida Curcumin is highly stable and highly soluble, uniquely optimized to deliver free Curcumin (the active form that is not metabolisms or glucuronidated) into the bloodstream and target tissues. Free Curcumin is the only form that is proven to reach the brain. 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. In contrast with even phytosomal formulations, longvida avoids conjugation and glucuronidation, enabling Curcumin to remain in the free active form and offer an unrivaled half-life of over 7 hours. bottle contents: 30 capsules (month supply at a daily dosage of 1 capsule).
