Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva is a premium, highly bioavailable turmeric supplement. By binding curcumin to phospholipids from sunflower lecithin (Phytosome technology), it allows for significantly better absorption into human cells than standard non-bound curcumin extracts.
Doctor's Best Curcumin Phytosome with Meriva® is a potent antioxidant that protects cells and tissues by fighting free radicals. Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, offers numerous health benefits.
- Supports liver, digestive and cardiovascular function.
- Supports healthy joint function, eye health and small vessel circulatory health.
- Curcuminoids, the active ingredient in turmeric, maintain healthy cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) enzyme activity whilst also supporting the metabolism of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes.
Why Meriva®?
Curcumin is generally poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. Meriva® is a unique, patented curcumin extract that is attached to a phosphatidylcholine molecule (phosphatidylcholine is a component of cell membranes). Meriva® phytosome complexes are more stable and have high absorbability.
Curcuminoids act as polyphenols that may modulate inflammatory signaling and oxidative stress pathways, and the phytosome form helps improve absorption into the bloodstream.
Caution: Take with food to support absorption; consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or using blood-thinning medications because curcuminoids may affect bleeding tendency.
Phosphatidylcholine (from sunflower lecithin in the Phytosome)
Phosphatidylcholine forms a lipid matrix that complexes with curcuminoids to enhance their intestinal uptake and bioavailability.
Caution: Contains sunflower-derived lecithin; avoid if you have known sensitivity to sunflower or lecithin sources.
How they work together
Curcuminoids provide the primary bioactive effects, while phosphatidylcholine creates a lipid complex that improves curcuminoid absorption. Together, this pairing helps more curcuminoids reach circulation for functional activity at lower doses.
