Description
Turmeric’s reputation for supporting joint comfort and a healthy inflammatory response
is well-earned. Replicated studies show turmeric as effective for pain as ibuprofen. But
there is a problem almost no one talks about: standard turmeric and plain curcumin are
not bioavailable, which is a measurement of how much of the supplement actually gets
into your bloodstream.
Curcumin doesn’t dissolve easily in the water-based environment of your digestive
tract gut wall. And the tiny amount that does get through is rapidly broken down by your
liver before it ever reaches your joints and tissues.
The turmeric carried by Laura’s Mercantile was formulated specifically to solve every
one of those bioavailability bottlenecks. It uses a Triple-Action Bioavailability Formula:
1.Fermented Turmeric Root. This is a proprietary, patent-pending, dual-stage, live
fermentation process which dramatically increases the water solubility of curcuminoids
(solving the dissolution problem). Fermentation converts curcumin into activated forms
that your body can readily absorb and use. Research confirms that fermented turmeric
has higher antioxidant activity, higher total phenolic content, and greater bioavailability
of curcuminoids than standard, unfermented turmeric.
2.Organic Turmeric Root Extract. A concentrated, full-spectrum extract is paired with the
fermented root, so you’re getting both the broad curcuminoid profile of whole turmeric
and the potency of a standardized extract — a belt-and-suspenders approach to coverage.
3.Fermented Black Pepper Fruit (Piperine) This is where the science gets exciting. In
landmark research, 2,000 mg of curcumin taken alone produced only trace levels in the
blood. When the same dose was taken with piperine (the active compound in black
pepper), curcumin bioavailability increased by approximately 2,000%.
