Feature summary
TheracurminTM is an advanced new formulation that unlocks the medicinal power of curcumin, the yellow pigment found in turmeric. Theracurmin is 300 times more bioavailable than regular curcumin powder, ensuring a therapeutically effective level in the blood. The root of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), a member of the ginger family, has been used in India for thousands of years as a traditional Ayurvedic medicine for treating inflammatory conditions, and is the principal spice used in curry.
Laboratory research has confirmed that curcumin can reduce inflammation, provide antioxidant protection to cells, and reduce risk factors for chronic degenerative diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Early clinical studies found that large quantities of curcumin had to be consumed because it is poorly absorbed and rapidly excreted, but Theracurmin offers markedly improved absorption to produce better clinical results. Theracurmin is a natural extract processed using proprietary dispersion technology to create microscopic particles (100 times smaller than normal curcumin powder) dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Its safety profile has been proven in both animals and through human clinical trials.
Theracurmin was chosen for Natural Factors CurcuminRich Curcumin to ensure a therapeutically effective blood level of curcumin that lasts for hours, providing potent antioxidant protection that reduces the risk of degenerative disease.

- Theracurmin™ contains standardized amounts of curcumin in a natural colloidal dispersion that is absorbed into the blood faster, and stays there longer, than other forms of curcumin
- Highly bioavailable, with an absorption rate 300 times greater than regular curcumin
- Natural alternative to pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs
- Extremely safe and non-toxic
How it works
TheracurminTM produces the highest sustained blood level of any curcumin product. A single capsule is equal to roughly 8000 mg of curcumin powder. The first step in manufacturing Theracurmin is to grind curcumin powder using a wet-grinding mill to produce particles that are over 100 times smaller than regular curcumin powder. A homogenizer then disperses these particles to mix with a vegetable gum known as gum ghatti, creating a colloidal suspension that readily mixes with water. Because of this improved solubility, Theracurmin is easily absorbed into the bloodstream.
Theracurmin represents a major advancement in the use of curcumin, with both animal and human studies showing no side effects and significantly better results than other curcumin preparations.
Once absorbed, curcumin has multiple actions in the body that make it effective against both acute and chronic degenerative disorders. For example, curcumin regulates numerous pathways linked to inflammation, including transcription factors, cytokines, protein kinases, adhesion molecules, and enzymes. Similarly, curcumin has many anti-cancer actions: it protects against free radical damage to DNA, inhibits formation of cancer-causing nitrosamines, promotes the liver’s detoxification of carcinogens, stimulates production of cancer-fighting compounds such as glutathione, and inhibits COX-2 enzymes that promote tumour growth.
