PRODUCT DETAILS

Great for: high intensity support delivering active curcumin to the body and brain, sustaining high peak plasma levels

Curcumin is a flavonoid extract of turmeric root but it is poorly absorbed in the body and rapidly metabolised into inactive forms. Longvida® Optimised Curcumin™ harnesses a patented lipid delivery technology that offers 285x greater bioavailability, 65x higher peak plasma levels, and 7x longer-lasting action than standard curcumin. Longvida curcumin is highly stable and highly soluble, optimised to deliver free curcumin (the active form that is not metabolised or glucuronidated) into the bloodstream and target tissues. Free curcumin is the only form that is proven to reach the brain.

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 absorbed into the lymphatic system, ensuring clinically beneficial levels in the body

LONG LASTING

'free form' curcumin 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

MORE ABOUT 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 curcumin through the harsh environment of the stomach, and also protects against early excretion by the liver. ‘Free form’ 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 form’ 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 form’ curcumin, and more of the less active curcuminoids, which may not be as beneficial for health. Longvida technology is the only delivery system proven to effectively retain ‘free form’ 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. In addition, 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. In contrast, Longvida delivers curcumin with a 7-hour half-life and has been 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.

MORE ABOUT PURE & ESSENTIAL OMEGA 3

The oil is responsibly sourced from wild, deep-sea anchovies, sardines & mackerel, purified via molecular distillation and free from PCBs, dioxins & mercury. This supplement provides effective support for brain function, vision, heart health and immune function.

High absorption omega-3 form

Omega-3 is found in different molecular forms, with the advanced re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form offering unrivalled absorption, without relying on the availability of fat in the diet. Absorbed in the same way as triglyceride, rTG omega-3 is more than twice as concentrated, so it can deliver higher levels of EPA and DHA directly into cells where they are needed most.

rTG also works faster to restore omega balance – raising levels of EPA and DHA in cells 3.5x more than standard fish oil and 5x more than krill oil.

Super concentrated small softgels
This 80% concentrated wild fish oil has been expertly formulated to provide an effective, intensive dose without over-saturating the body. At more than twice the concentration of a standard fish oil, each serving provides 1000mg of the active omega-3 EPA and DHA.
The softgels are smaller but contain more active ingredients as the re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) form provides a higher concentration of omega-3 EPA & DHA per volume of oil. As fat absorption is limited in the body, this ensures more EPA & DHA is efficiently absorbed.

Wild & responsibly sourced
This supplement has been responsibly sourced from wild, deep-sea fish including anchovies, sardines & mackerel. The oil is purified using molecular distillation to remove dioxins, methylmercury and PCBs to virtually undetectable levels.
Our oils are checked to ensure purity, active ingredients, nutritional value and safety. We add natural lemon flavour to the oil to ensure no fishy odour or reflux.

Brain function & vision
This EPA-rich oil supports neurotransmitter function, important for memory, learning and development. Providing a 220mg dose of DHA, this fast-acting wild fish oil contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision.

Heart health
Providing a daily dose of 660mg EPA & DHA, this super concentrated fish oil supports normal heart function. Managing triglyceride levels and maintaining a healthy blood pressure are both important for heart health.

Immune function
Daily intake of vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system. We include a 1000iu daily dose to support immune health year-round, especially important to take in the winter months.
