Curcumin, derived from turmeric, is one of the most promising ingredients for promoting a healthy inflammation response. Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed and rapidly excreted, so until now, it has had to be taken in large doses continually to achieve an effect. Curcumin-SR is unique in that it delivers the curcumin in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix. This means that it is released over time, stays in the blood longer, and is therefore active longer than regular curcumin. Clinical research shows that compared with regular curcumin, curcumin-SR: Is absorbed faster Has 8x greater bioavailability Delivers sustained release over 8 hoursQuality of Life Labs
