Body Ready Makes the Difference: One of the changes with curcumin - there’s a limit to how much your body can absorb and actually use. If absorption goes up, greater levels of active curcumin can be released across multiple pathways to support joint, brain and immune health. Finally, Solgar takes bioavailability and absorption to a whole level. Unlike regular curcuminpowder, Solgar starts with a 95% curcumin extract - the standardized active form, purified and concentrated from native turmeric root (Curcuma longa). For the first time, Solgar surrounds and encapsulates standardized curcumin extract with microscopic, water-loving spheres called micelles. Micelles make the difference in absorption and are so microscopically small that they allow curcumin to be readily passed into the bloodstream. At this size, micelles are virtually invisible and have the ability to transform a dense and opaque powder into a crystal clear, body-ready liquid. The clearer the liquid - the greater the bioavailability. The greater the availability - the greater the absorption. And the greater the absorption, the greater the power of curcumin. Faster absorbed, better absorbed, and longer lasting than ever before (These statements are based on a human study of NovaSOL curcumin in comparison with native curcumin extract, using an objective measure [metabolite analysis]) - Full Spectrum Curcumin.
