Theracurmin® from Natural Factors unlocks the power of curcumin. This advanced form of curcumin uses proprietary dispersion technology to create microscopic particles dispersed in a colloidal suspension for better absorption. Detailed absorption studies have proven that Theracurmin is the best-absorbed form of curcumin on the market on a milligram-to-milligram basis compared to all other curcumin supplements. In fact, based on very detailed absorption studies, cumulative data now shows that the #1 absorbed form of curcumin is Theracurmin!‡ Additionally, Theracurmin is clinically tested so you know it works. Only Theracurmin has 19 double-blind clinical studies. Natural Factors offers two Theracurmin strengths to suit your unique needs: • CurcuminRich® Theracurmin® 30 mg • CurcuminRich® Double Strength Theracurmin® 60 mg ‡Scientific scrutiny revealed that Theracurmin was more bioavailable on a milligram-to-milligram basis than other leading◊ enhanced and regular forms of curcumin. ◊As measured by SPINS 2014 data.
