285x GREATER BIOAVAILABILITY - as standard curcumin is very poorly absorbed, Longvida provides a fatty coating around the curcumin, to enhance absorption
HIGH DOSE IN FREE FORM - Longvida provides free form curcumin which is directly transported into the lymphatic system, ensuring clinically beneficial levels in the body
LONG LASTING - free form cucumin has a significantly higher half life, so it is retained in the body for 7x longer than standard curcumin
UNIQUE BRAIN SUPPORT - Longvida curcumin is the only form of curcumin proven to cross into the brain & it also exerts its antioxidant effects on joints
NO BLACK PEPPER EXTRACT - we have formulated this product without black pepper extract due to its negative effects of suppressing liver detoxification function
Longvida Optimised Curcumin
Longvida Curcumin - Ultra bioavailable and the only delivery system proven to deliver free form active curcumin
Curcumin is a naturally occurring yellow pigment found in the spice turmeric, widely used for joint support, muscle soreness, and cognitive decline. We provide the most bioavailable form of curcumin using Longvida technology, a unique form of curcumin with sustained action. The Longvida delivery technology protects the bioactive ‘free’ curcumin through the harsh environment of the stomach, and also protects against early excretion in the kidneys. ‘Free’ curcumin is also smaller than the other forms often found in supplements and the only form that’s been proven to pass the blood-brain barrier. This means that Longvida can transfer the remarkable properties of curcumin to the cells of the brain.

'Free' form curcumin
Curcumin is one of the 3 main curcuminoids derived from turmeric root, which includes curcumin, DMC and BDMC. As ‘free’ curcumin is the most bioactive, at Igennus we provide curcumin using longvida technology to optimise its benefits. Unfortunately, many supplements, including those using delivery systems like Meriva, actually deliver very little ‘free’ curcumin, and more of the lesser active curcuminoids, which may not be as beneficial for health. Longvida technology is the only delivery system proven to effectively retain ‘free’ curcumin in the body.
Bioavailable & long lasting
Standard curcumin (turmeric) is very poorly absorbed, at less than 1%. Absorption is diminished throughout the digestive process, including being degraded by stomach acid. As a result, the half-life of standard curcumin (the time taken to halve its concentration in the body) is less than 1 minute! Piperine (black pepper extract) can extend its half-life to 6 minutes, however it has negative effects of suppressing liver detoxification function. In contrast, Longvida delivers curcumin with a 7-hour half life, and has shown to offer 285x greater bioavailability.
Lipid layer technology
Longvida technology encapsulates curcumin in a protective lipid layer, optimising its journey from pill to cell. Longvida transports curcumin effectively through the acidic environment of the stomach, and then bypasses normal absorption via the circulatory system, instead entering the lymphatic system. This key step bypasses the liver (which rapidly metabolises standard curcumin), and subsequently avoids early excretion by the kidneys. This advanced delivery system achieves 65x higher curcumin plasma levels with sustained effects.
I have had problems with arthritis in my knees for a number of years and had bern taking turmeric and black pepper but that was now having little or no effect so I was having to take a lot of pain killers. My sister has been taking Optimised Curricum for almost a year and was telling me to give it a try. So after alomost three weeks of taking it I noticed I was no loo indeed needling as many pain killers. Now I'm half way through my 2nd bottle and I'm not taking any pain relief. My knees are by no means fixed but the pain has virtually gone, I still get twinges now and again. I'm delighted with the results and recommend it to friends. Thanks to my sister for giving me the heads up.

Great curcumin
I have been using Longvida for almost four years. I have arthritis and after taking this product, I feel much better. My aches from the arthritis are very minimal. Longvida is easy on the digestion unlike other turmeric I have used. I highly recommend this product.

Helps my energy levels
I found a noticeable difference to my energy when taking these. I didn’t think that would be the result given I got the capsules to reduce inflammation, so that’s a nice bonus!

Very happy with Longview curcumin.
This was recommended by a friend who is a nutritional therapist and it has been very effective for me. I would definitely recommend.
