We recommend taking 2 caplets twice daily with a fat-containing meal or as directed by your healthcare professional.
Our Curcumin Plus is manufactured in Utah, USA.
Our Curcumin Plus has a 3-year shelf life from the time is produced.
Curcumin Plus should be stored at room temperature, in a cool dry place. Preferably in a medicine cabinet or pantry. However, it is perfectly fine to store them in the freezer or refrigerator.
If Curcumin Plus is traveling through extreme temperatures, the quality/potency will not be degraded in any way, according to the manufacturer.
Our Curcumin Plus does not contain nor is it manufactured with yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, or shellfish ingredients. However, it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
Curcumin Plus does contain a trace amount of Non-GMO corn starch, as an excipient.
If you are pregnant or nursing, we recommend consulting with your health care professional before use, as a precautionary measure.
Curcumin Plus uses a complex manufacturing process that is not used in the supplement industry, but used in the pharmaceutical industry – this is the unique process of making ingredients bi-layered. Rather than having tablets or capsules which take about 45 minutes to dissolve in the stomach, Curcumin Plus has water and lipid-soluble patented ingredients that provide an immediate onset within 20 minutes. Thus, providing a “fast-acting” response. It is then bi-layered and sustained released so those ingredients are slowly delivered in the body over 8 hours, providing a “long-lasting” effect.
When Curcumin C3 Complex is used by itself in a tablet or capsule, although it has health benefits, it will have very little absorption in the blood. When combining Curcumin C3 Complex with the patented BioPerine (95% piperine from black pepper extract), it will assist in the absorption and peak in the blood in 1 hour and then immediately drop off out of the therapeutic blood range within 1½ hours and continue to drop off completely by 3½ hours. Thus BioPerine does increase Curcumin C3 Complex by 2,000% in the study, which provides improved benefits, but it still lacks duration of efficacy.
Curcumin Plus uses the Bi-layered Sustained Release caplet, which starts working within 20 minutes of ingestion (fast-acting) and delivers the peak of all of its ingredients in the concentration range in the blood (within 45 minutes). Most importantly, Curcumin Plus maintains the concentration in the blood for up to 8 hours. This provides sustained release and synergistic benefits more than any other curcumin/turmeric that is made in capsules or tablets.
Yes. One of the most important distinctions of having the bi-layered caplet is that it maintains 100% of the potency of ingredients in Curcumin Plus when you take it. Unlike all other products on the market that come in capsules that have generic turmeric/curcumin and boswellia ingredients along with ginger, bromelin, papain, nattokinase, or any proteolytic enzymes – these ingredients degrade each other as they are mixed together in capsules. Therefore over time, the potency of those products is lowered from the time they leave the manufacturing facility, to the health store shelf and ultimately to your home. Studies show that these ingredients in capsules decrease potency by up to 60% by the time you take those products. With Curcumin Plus, 100% of the potency of ingredients is maintained when you take it – guaranteed.
To better reflect our focus as a company and brand, we’re proud to have our newly redesigned label. However, nothing has changed with the contents on the inside. This is the exact same product formulated by Sabinsa with Curcumin C3 Complex, Boswellin PS, Ginger Extract, and BioPerine.
Magnesium Stearate is generally recognized as safe to consume. Since it is used as an excipient or inert ingredient, there is not enough to cause any problems. However when it is used as a major filler in many other supplements and medications on the market, if you ingest too much, it can have a mild laxative effect.
Some people on the internet claim that Magnesium Stearate suppresses your immune T-cell function and causes the cell membrane integrity in your helper T-cells to collapse. However, there is no scientific evidence to support those claims.
These claims have been made based on a single mouse study that was related to stearic acid, NOT magnesium stearate. Mice lack an enzyme in their T-cells that humans have. This makes stearic acid safe for us to ingest.
Some people have also claimed that Magnesium Stearate might interfere with your body’s ability to absorb the contents of medication or supplements tablets and capsules. But again, there is no scientific evidence to support those claims.
Some people report having negative reactions to Magnesium Stearate and feel much better when they eliminate it. These people might have a sensitivity to it. It is possible to be allergic to Magnesium Stearate like any ingredient (although it would be rare) and it can be difficult to avoid this food additive since it's in many packaged and processed foods whether listed or not.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Magnesium Stearate for use as an additive in food and supplements.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, it is considered safe for consumption in amounts below 2,500 milligrams (mg) per kilogram per day. That means for a 150-pound adult, that equals 170,000 mg per day that can be consumed (about 1/3 of a pound). Since there is less than a trace amount in Curcumin Plus (as an excipient or inert ingredient), it is very safe to consume without concern and does not have enough to cause negative side effects.
Magnesium Stearate is a fine white powder that sticks to your skin and is greasy to the touch. It is a simple salt made up of two substances, a saturated fat called stearic acid and the mineral magnesium. Stearic acid can also be found in many foods, such as chicken, eggs, cheese, chocolate, walnuts, salmon, cotton seed oil, palm oil, and coconut oil. However, the Magnesium Stearate in Curcumin Plus is plant-based.
Magnesium Stearate is commonly added to many foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In medications and vitamins, its primary purpose is to act as a lubricant. Magnesium Stearate is an additive that’s primarily used in medication capsules. It is considered a “flow agent.” It prevents the individual ingredients in a tablet or capsule from sticking to each other and the machine that creates the tablets and capsules. It helps improve the consistency and quality control of medication tablets and capsules.
It is possible to create supplements tablets and capsules without Magnesium Stearate, but it is more difficult to guarantee the consistency and quality of those tablets. Magnesium Stearate is used to delay the breakdown and absorption of medications, so they’re absorbed in the correct area of the bowel.
We only use Non-GMO corn starch – certified by the manufacturer of the corn starch. This is an inert ingredient so the product has come in contact with it, but its too small to even measure. See links to these other FAQs below for further information.
