2/5 Evidence Score

CuroWhite® is a hydrogenated, near-colorless curcuminoid preparation from Aurea Biolabs, rich in tetrahydrocurcumin. Hydrogenation makes it more stable, more bioavailable, and free of curcumin's bright yellow staining, while retaining strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, which makes it useful in both supplements and cosmetics.

Studied Dose Around 300 to 500 mg per day.
Active Compound Hydrogenated curcuminoids (rich in tetrahydrocurcumin), a stable, bioavailable, near-colorless form of turmeric actives.

Benefits

Mechanism of action

1

Tetrahydrocurcumin activity

Tetrahydrocurcumin neutralizes free radicals and inhibits inflammatory enzymes, often more stably than curcumin itself.

2

Enhanced absorption

Structural modification improves solubility and uptake, raising the amount of active curcuminoid reaching tissues.
