Curcumin 95
Curcuma longa
Taken for joint comfort.
95% curcuminoids by HPLC
What it’s
taken for.
And how good the evidence is.
| Taken for | Evidence | What the studies show |
|---|---|---|
| Knee and joint comfort | Moderate | Multiple trials in adults with knee joint problems report modest improvement in comfort and mobility. Quality is mixed and products differ. |
| Soreness after exercise | Early | A few small studies suggest less muscle soreness. Doses and formulations vary too much to generalise. |
| Digestion | Traditional | Turmeric has long culinary and traditional use. Trials of curcumin extract for digestion are limited. |
| "Fights inflammation everywhere" | None | Curcumin is poorly absorbed, and broad claims run far ahead of the human data. |
Grades are our reading of published human trials on the ingredient, not tests of this product. Moderate: several controlled trials agree. Some: a few do. Early: small or preliminary. Traditional: long use, little trial data. None: nothing worth quoting. How we grade evidence
What the
research says.
Trials in knee osteoarthritis report modest improvements in comfort and mobility. Study quality is mixed and formulations differ, so results cannot simply be transferred between products.

Who should check with a doctor first
Check with a doctor first if you take blood thinners or other regular medication, have gallbladder or liver problems, or are pregnant.
Three questions.
Worth asking.
About any Curcumin product. Ours included.
- 01From turmeric or synthetic?
Synthetic curcumin is cheaper than extracting it from the rhizome, and it has been found in products sold as natural. A label alone cannot tell you which you have.
- 02Lead and other heavy metals—in numbers?
Lead-based colour has been found in turmeric in South Asia. Heavy-metal results belong on the batch report in numbers, not in the word "pure".
- 03What has been added for absorption, and why?
Curcumin is poorly absorbed on its own. Many products add piperine from black pepper, which can also change how the body handles some medicines. You should know what was added.

Read the
fine print.
An independent report for each finished batch, with the lab, methods, measured values and limits. That’s our commitment.
This is an example of the information to inspect. No results, lab names or certificates have been invented.

A little more
to go on.
Why specify the measurement method?
A percentage needs context. Methods can measure different groups of compounds, so the method should be read alongside the figure.
Where can I inspect a batch report?
Every batch comes with its own independent lab report, published on this site under the batch number printed on the bottle. The layout shown on this page is an example, not a result.
How many capsules are in the bottle?
60 vegetarian capsules. The amount listed on this page is per capsule, not a personalised daily-use recommendation.
