Is this liposomal curcumin? I have been told to look for liposomal in the ingredients.

This is not lyposomal Curcumin.BCM-95 made by Arjuna Naturals (not Organics), contains 25x the pesticide compared to turmeric as their turmeric concentrate is 25x. Supplement manufacturers who use BCM-95 in their products are not to sell online or on Amazon.Unlike curcumin C3, which is organically produced (according to manufacturer), however is not certified organic. Neither curcumin is lyposomal. Adding a pinch of Phosphotydlcholine does not make it lyposomal. Far from it. Although LifeExtension is a good company, their choice of BCM-95 is poor. Curcumin C3 or better yet, certified organic turmeric with retained oils, is a better choice.

Check out this article. It helps to shed light on which curcumin product is actually more effective, and takes out the confusion. It's an article about BCM-95 (whats in this product) vs. Meriva (the liposomal version). http://www.europharmausa.com/press-releases/97/april-14-2011-europharmas-bcm-95-curcumin-superior-in-absorption-/

BCM-95 is actually made by Arjuna Naturals and is available in other brands as well. The "liposomal" issue relates to the issue of poor absorption of plain curcumin. It was speculated that the lower rate of Alzheimer's in India is due to curcumin in the diet, but what would make it absorbed better so as to account for this result? It was thought that the answer was the way it was prepared....using oil. So, Arjuna created and tested BCM-95, which proved to be much better absorbed. Here is what they say about it: "BCM-95 combines curcumin with high essential turmeric oils and thus makes it 7 times more bioavailable and 12 hours of retention in blood compared to 95% curcumin extracts. Mainly because of the fact of high absorption, the product has been taken by many prestigious universities worldwide for various clinical trials. " So "liposomal" means "with lipids", and lipids are fats and oils. So, BCM-95 uses curcumin oils. Other "liposomal" preparations may use other oils where the curcumin and oils are heated and mixed. Some people use lecithin plus oil to make their own, but I don't know how effective this is. I know another approach to the problem is the conjugating the curcumin with fenugreek, called CurQFen. Both result in better absorption and a timed release effect. In any case, if you focus on the issue of absorption rather than the terminology, I think you won't go wrong.

I just received a catalog from a supplement company which notes that Bio-Curcumin is complexed with Phosphatidylcholine, which is a lipid in the lecithin family (Dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine), phosphatidylcholine has been clinically shown to increase bioavailability and absorption as compared to standard, conjugated curcumin. It is also used in this way and for this reason with other medications. In short, this means that Bio-Curcumin is in fact liposomal. Wikipedia has an article on liposomes, which, near the beginning says this, "Liposomes are often composed of phosphatidylcholine-enriched phospholipids......". So I assume this clearly answers the question....yes, it is liposomal curcumin.

It states on the bottle that turmeric comes from the rhizome of the Curcuma longo plant. I am assuming the curcumin is in the capsules as it is part of the same plant, and to advertise the ingredient on the bottle without it being IN there would be illegal. The product WORKS...that is what I am concerned about.

Okay here's my theory b/c it does seem like the exact thing. For me the liposomal process is done all at once and sold this way. Where as the lypo-spheric has a combination of similar ingredients that activates to liposomal when you prepare to take it. Not sure which is better since there isn't much info that I could find rt now. I personally make my own liposomal vitamin c. So when I was reading about lypo-spheric it seems almost like the same process but activates once you open and use. I could be wrong. I will keep researching .....just didn't want to leave you hanging without some kind of answer. In my opinion you would thrive on both products. Thank you so much for asking this question because I didn't even know there was an lypo-spheric product out there. I need to look into this more!!!!

Yes, I just checked the ingredients, and verified that lecithin (From non-GMO sunflower seeds) is listed.

I would be appalled if they add a sweetener because some sweeteners being used by the industry are not harmless. I even did not have this idea! But I am making my own liposomal Vitamin C, so I know this one contains only Vitamin C and sunflower lecithin. George Knorr

I'm not that versed about the product being liposomal or if it's being absorbed correctly. I'm a novice in those areas. I simply like the product because it's very effective in promoting several healthy changes in my body. I use it as directed and it's working wonderfully! Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

The Super Bio-Curcumin w BCM-95 shown here is in standard tablet form. The Curcumin with the ginger and Tumeric is large -- and I mean very large (~ 1" x .25") -- gel caps. It might be stronger, but if you can't take large capsules don't get it. You can take more tabs as they are standard (don't have one to measure), but if I remember correctly, they are about 3/8" in diameter? Probably a better bet for your daughter. Hope this helps.

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),

This curcumin comes in capsule form (think gelatin capsule). As far as I know, only pills in tablet form come with enteric coatings.

The only problem with this particular Turmeric item is that it doesnt contain "Bioperin" which is very important for maximum absorption of the Turmeric/Curcumin......I have been taking it for a year & now I realize that this is a very important ingredient necessary for maximum absorption of the Turmeric.......I will be switching to Doctor Danielle's or Naturally Holistic's brand ASAP

I poured my product into a Tupperware container, so I no longer have the bag. However, I did look on their website and the ingredient listed is 100% Xylitol - Pharmaceutical Grade.

Yep, I didn't get the one with the glucosamine, MSM, curcumin, etc., and that is the one that I wanted. I have ordered a bottle in the past and got the correct one, but this time they sent another formula. Not sure if I should return it or not. Did you receive the correct one?
