| Organic Limits | Turmeric is a placebo. It's deemed to be poorly bioavailable and is difficult to get effective doses to deliver health benefits in its original form. |
| Technology | HydroCurc® utilises a state of the art and novel delivery system known as Lipisperse™. This revolutionary technology is able to increase the surface area of lipophilic particles in aqueous solution which makes it perfect for enhancing the bioavailability of curcumin. |
| Region | India |
| Data | Peer-reviewed HydroCurc® trials |
The clinically proven dosage of curcumin to be effective is a daily intake of 600mg. This is the dosage included in The LYMA Supplement.
The best way to take turmeric is to choose a highly bioavailable form such as HydroCurc® which uses the patented Lipisperse® technology. This technology makes the root extract highly concentrated and bioavailable. A total daily dose of 600mg, split between the mornings and evenings during mealtimes achieves for optimal results.
Turmeric benefits the body straight away but as it works on a cellular level, it may take around four weeks for you to realise the effects.
There are very few side effects to supplementing with turmeric or HydroCurc®. However, we recommend you seek advice from your doctor if you are undergoing treatment or have any underlying health condition.
Choosing a patented, proven curcumin supplement renowned for its bioavailability such as HydroCurc® is the only way to guarantee benefits.
Turmeric root is a natural source of curcumin that can be incorporated into curries, smoothies or grated into rice. However, the health benefits of consuming turmeric in this way are largely unfounded and the body’s absorption is minimal. This is the reason why LYMA has chosen to include HydroCurc® to its formula, the world’s most effective turmeric extract.
Whether raw or in supplement form, it is advisable to take turmeric with a meal since curcumin absorption increases slightly when paired with healthy fats. Evidence suggests that taking turmeric with healthy fats such as avocados, oils, nuts and seeds can improve its absorption rate because curcumin dissolves in fat rather than water.
There is much misinformation about taking complimentary ingredients to aid turmeric absorption. Cayenne pepper, honey and ginger are not proven to help activate turmeric in any way. There is evidence to suggest that piperine, the active compound in black pepper, can increase the body’s absorption of turmeric by preventing it from being so readily disposed of in the digestive system but where proved, the rate is only nominally improved.
The LYMA Supplement Starter Kit includes 30-day supply, copper storage vessel and membership that gives access to member pricing and benefits.
