Curcumin from dried turmeric root is widely used, but is well known for its poor solubility and bioavailability. CurcuFRESH™ is a curcumin preparation from fresh turmeric rhizome that is never dried or extracted using solvents. The resulting curcumin remains in its native complexed form and, when ingested, leads to dramatically higher circulating levels of the beneficial, unmetabolized, free curcuminoids – up to 40x higher than what is expected from standard curcumin extracts
