Turmeric has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Curcumin — its major active polyphenol — is widely used for inflammation, joint support, muscle soreness and cognitive health. The problem has always been getting it absorbed.
Modern science tells us that turmeric and its active curcuminoids are very poorly absorbed and rapidly metabolised into inactive forms. Most of what you swallow never reaches your bloodstream in a usable state — which is why so many curcumin supplements underdeliver.
Gold Standard Curcumin solves this with Longvida®, a patent-protected, clinically documented Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle (SLCP™) technology engineered to deliver far more activity, not just more powder.
SLCP™ wraps curcumin in a protective lipid layer, optimising its whole journey through the body. Watch it travel.
Curcumin sealed inside a solid lipid particle — protected and ready.
The lipid shield carries curcumin safely through harsh stomach acid.
It bypasses the liver — avoiding the rapid metabolism and early excretion that waste ordinary curcumin.
Far more active curcumin in the blood, lasting far longer — delivered to tissues throughout the body.
Curcumin is one of three main curcuminoids found naturally in turmeric. The other two — demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) — are less bioactive.
Many supplements use standard curcumin or even plain turmeric, delivering very little free-form curcumin and more of the less-active curcuminoids. Longvida is optimised to deliver free curcumin — the active form that hasn't been metabolised or glucuronidated — into the bloodstream and target tissues: brain, joints, heart, colon, intestine, liver, prostate and breast.
It's also the only form proven to cross the blood-brain barrier, letting curcumin's properties reach the cells of the brain. That's a big part of why Gold Standard Curcumin can have such wide-ranging benefits.
