CurcuVES, provided by TruGen3®, combines the powerful ingredient curcumin with the patented VESIsorb® delivery system to support enhanced absorption and utilization in the body. The colloidal droplet delivery system featured in VESIsorb® allows for the transformation of a dense curcumin powder into a water-soluble liquid.
DISCUSSION
The plant Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric and commonly referred to as curcumin, has a long history of use as a spice in Indian cooking as well as a traditional herb in Ayurveda medicine. The active constituents of turmeric, known collectively as curcuminoids, can act as effective antioxidants against excessive free radical damage. Numerous studies indicate they may play important roles in supporting the body’s normal structure and function of joint comfort, neurological function and overall good health. Curcumin has also been shown to support the body’s normal processes on certain transcription factors and may support the brain’s normal structure for optimal memory. Other studies point to curcumin’s potential usefulness in supporting optimal liver function, skin and cardiovascular health.
Curcumin’s usefulness can be limited in the body by poor absorption. Studies show that the VESIsorb® patented delivery system provides significant improvements in absorption and bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients. Unlike other commercially available products, VESIsorb® technology allows nutrients to be delivered in a water-soluble form with no loss in bio-efficacy or absorption. The patented VESIsorb® delivery system is a naturally self-assembling colloidal droplet delivery system that has been clinically proven to increase absorption of nutritional supplements. VESIsorb® naturally self assembles into a colloidal system immediately upon contact with the aqueous environment of the digestive tract. The solubilized nanosize droplets are able to disperse uniformly and diffuse across the unstirred water layer and then transfer the bioactives to the intestinal system.
