Does anyone know the curcuminoid content in this? I've seen Meriva Curcumin and Meriva Turmeric. Are these the same?

Great question, and I don't know the answer. But you might check the website of Indena S.p.A., Milan for more information.

I can't say for sure but the label reads ingredients are turmeric curcumin, and also gelatin (capsule), cellulose, which I believe is wood pulp and magnesium stearate, which is used to keep the pills from sticking to each other when they are manufacturing them. I read that ingredient could adversely affect the immune system if taken regularly. This stuff worked really well for me but after reading these ingredients (thank you) I have ordered the organic version. I don't have it yet but hoping it will be just as effective.

1000mg It also says with 95% curcuminoids on the bottle. not sure what that is. There is a sticker placed over the supplement fact label. Hope this helps you.

Turmeric, especially the stuff sold as a spice in tiny bottles, typically contains 2 or 3% curcumin. Frontier guarantees that their organic turmeric has 4.5 or 5% curcumin. I would trust them more than the spice makers who sell those tiny bottles at $5 or $6 for two ounces.

Ayurveda is not a product or ingredient .. it is a healing tradition. Yes, Tumeric Curcumin is used in the Ayurvedic Healing tradition, as well as other herbs and spices.

Turmeric root contains curcumin. If you are looking for the health benefits of curcumin, the root should be cooked or try a dissolution in oil to increase the bioavailability. It is also thought that mixing black pepper with the turmeric increases the bioavailability of the curcumin.

All I can say is the curcumin they use in this brand (sabinsa) was the one used in a few trials, including the ones at MD Anderson. The bioavailability in this product is really good, it has black pepper to increase it. This product worked great for us so we haven't tried another brand.

It is simply natural tumeric in gel capsules, it contains the same tumeric you can find in a grocery store spice rack. That said, natural tumeric contains about 2% curcumin by weight. If you are looking for curcumiin, you want a 95% curcumin extract (45x more curcumin than this product),

Organic Turmeric rhizome 370 mg; Turmeric Extract - 95% curcumimoids 80 mg; Organic Ginger rhizome 50 mg per 1 capsule. Good quality turmeric, enjoy. Namaste!

It has been compared. I posted a link below. dr Trutt has 2 blogs on Curcumin.

There is nothing on the label giving this information. The 720 mg capsules are straight turmeric - there are no other ingredients, other than the capsule itself. Best I can do with this question.

there are many other components of turmeric besides curcumin - tumerones, turmeric oils, cellulose, etc. The key thing is how well is this absorbed? Curcumin has an absorption band at 420 nm. - that turns your urine a deep yellow. I'd want to try this myself to see if the absorption is good.

I have never heard of anything needing black pepper for absorption. I would be highly skeptical of any such statement. I have used Meriva and other turmeric curcumin products for a long time and have never thought of using black pepper with it. Meriva and Curaphen are quite effective.

It is tumeric, which contains curcumin. I don't know about Goldenseal...pretty sure it is a totally different plant.
