Curcuminoids, the main active components of Curcuma longa, are naturally poorly absorbed by the body as the molecules are not water-soluble.
Extracted directly from the root of Curcuma longa, this formula is notable for its high content of natural antioxidants. These active ingredients possess properties that may support cellular protection, helping the body to combat oxidative stress more powerfully and effectively than traditional cooking powder.
Nutripure’s Active Curcumin solves this problem without chemical excipients or nanoparticles: the turmeric powder is encapsulated in complex sugars derived from maize (cyclodextrin).
Cyclodextrin, a hydrophilic molecule, dissolves in water. It easily crosses the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream, unlike 95% turmeric extract.
Thus, Nutripure Active Curcumin is absorbed 39 times more effectively than a 95% turmeric extract. It is rapidly absorbed (within 1 hour) and contains no harmful excipients.
WATER-SOLUBLE CURCUMIN WITH 39 TIMES GREATER BIOAVAILABILITY
- Curcuminoids are the active ingredients in turmeric
- Water-soluble curcumin: excellent absorption thanks to its ability to cross the intestinal barrier
- 39 times better absorbed than a turmeric extract standardised to 95% curcuminoids
- No harmful excipients
- Exceptional quality at an affordable price: a Nutripure essential
- Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation to ensure normal joint function
The combination of curcumin and vitamin C supports comprehensive joint care. This synergy boosts collagen formation, which has been linked to improved flexibility and joint wellbeing, enabling the body to function better during daily activities.

Better absorption thanks to water-soluble curcumin
95% Curcuma Longa extracts are poorly absorbed because their molecules are not water-soluble: they struggle to pass through the intestinal barrier and are subsequently eliminated in the stools, with very little entering the bloodstream. The effect on your body is minimal.
Nutripure’s Active Curcumin is encapsulated in complex plant-derived sugars called cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin, a hydrophilic molecule, encapsulates the curcuminoids and acts as a protective and transport coating in an aqueous environment. When dissolved in water, it easily crosses the intestinal barrier into the bloodstream, unlike 95% turmeric extracts.
The complex sugars are then ‘broken down’ by a pancreatic enzyme (hydrolysis), releasing the curcuminoid molecules, including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
This hydrolysis releases maltose, maltodextrin and a small amount of glucose (1 g per day, which is safe for the body).
The liver then carries out various metabolic cascades on the curcuminoids, generating active metabolites.
Thanks to Cavacurmin® technology, we achieve 39 times greater absorption, reaching maximum levels of curcuminoids in the bloodstream. This high bioavailability ensures that, with a lower intake, the body receives a truly effective dose of active ingredients compared to other options on the market.
Bioavailability 39 times higher than standard 95% turmeric extract
Scientific studies have demonstrated the superiority of the curcumin used by Nutripure (Cavacurmin®: γ-cyclodextrin curcumin) compared with other available forms.
We draw on a randomised, double-blind therapeutic trial comparing the absorption of various forms of turmeric at the same dose in curcuminoid equivalents:
- “Cavacurmin®” (Nutripure’s choice)
- Turmeric extract + phospholipids
- Curcumin + turmeric essential oils
- Curcuma longa extract 95%
The study was conducted following a 10-hour fast.
Repeated blood samples tracked changes in curcuminoid levels (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin) in the blood up to 12 hours after administration.
The results are encouraging: the study shows that Cavacurmin® (Nutripure’s choice) is better absorbed than other forms of curcumin!
The study comparing the bioavailability and absorption of curcumin in the body
The results of this study show that Nutripure’s Active Curcumin is better absorbed than other forms of curcumin, regardless of the method used.
A food supplement with no harmful effects
In order to improve its bioavailability, most turmeric extracts use fatty substances combined with excipients whose health implications are unknown.
Nutripure excludes the use of any excipient whose safety has not been proven, despite the additional costs and lower yields.
As a precautionary measure, we have excluded various molecules:
- Soya phospholipids, polysorbate 80 (E433)
- Microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid
- Silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide or any other nanoparticles
In line with these specifications, our choice naturally fell on Cavacurmin® curcumin, which is also lactose-free, gluten-free, free from colourings, GMO-free and non-irradiated!
The molecule used to aid absorption, cyclodextrin, is harmless as it is essentially a complex sugar capsule!
Nutripure’s Active Curcumin is therefore an excellent choice!
