Curcumin (turmeric extract) capsules and tablets, 500 mg and 1000 mg, standardised to curcuminoids. For importers, distributors and pharmacy chains buying a food supplement with full extract specifications.

Product Description:

Curcumin is the main yellow pigment of turmeric, the dried rhizome of Curcuma longa. Extracts are usually standardised to total curcuminoids, a mix of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, often around 95 percent. This page covers capsules and tablets of 500 mg and 1000 mg. Check whether the stated strength means extract weight or curcuminoid content. Curcumin is poorly absorbed, so many formulas add black pepper extract (piperine) or use phospholipid or micellar carriers.

Curcumin products sit under food or dietary supplement rules in most markets, and permitted label wording is set nationally. One or two units a day with food is the usual pattern. Capsules hide the bitter taste and colour; tablets need a robust coating because the powder stains. Pharmacists expect a caution on anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, and piperine can alter the metabolism of some medicines. Rare liver injury linked to turmeric products has been documented, so people with liver disease should seek advice first.

Sourcing notes. Ask for the extract specification: plant part, extraction solvent, ratio and the HPLC assay method. Turmeric has a history of adulteration with lead chromate and of synthetic curcumin sold as natural, so ask for heavy metal results on every batch and, where natural origin is claimed, radiocarbon testing. Other checks are residual solvents, pesticides, aflatoxins and microbial limits. Confirm whether your market needs a notification, licence or dossier. Opaque packs protect against light. In an enquiry, give strength basis, form, piperine content, pack count and label language.
