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

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory

Tetrahydrocurcumin is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory metabolite of curcumin, supporting the same pathways with improved stability.

Supported by Trial 1

Improved bioavailability

The hydrogenated formulation is designed for better absorption than ordinary curcumin, getting more active compound into the body.

Supported by Trial 1

Skin and cosmetic use

Because it is colorless and non-staining, it is used in skin formulas for brightening and antioxidant protection without turmeric's yellow tint.

Supported by Trial 1

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.
