SCS - VitaCell+, Turmeric & Piperine
Black pepper contains a compound, piperine, which can help break down the turmeric. However, breaking it down doesn’t mean your body will actually absorb it.
Making sure that its compounds are absorbed from the gut is the biggest problem with turmeric. Truth is, you will absorb little if turmeric is not also taken with along with fats or oils, which is why it’s best to take turmeric and curcumin with a meal containing fats or oils or using a liposomal form, which encases the compounds in fat inside the supplement. This is exactly why we used a special formulation of turmeric and curcumin developed to increase absorption and bioavailability of turmeric compounds, by including Longvida Curcumin Extract.
Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is a powerful immune-balancing flavonoid found in the turmeric root. It works by inhibiting excess cytokine production and obstructs the activity of enzymes that trigger inflammation. Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is 95% more bioavailable than regular curcumin. It also extends the flavonoids half-life in the bloodstream, so only 1 serving is needed for 24/hour protection.
Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is a breakthrough formula of the natural antioxidant curcumin, from the turmeric root. It is optimized to deliver free curcumin into target tissues through the critical bioavailability requirements of permeability, solubility, and stability. Developed in collaboration with elite neuroscientists at UCLA, Longvida® carries a strong safety profile and is self-GRAS.
Longvida® improves vascular endothelial function by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability through a reduction in oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling in middle-aged and older adults. According to the authors, these results support evidence that supplementation of Longvida® may be a promising therapeutic option to improve vascular health. Further, this clinical provides additional support for Longvida’s efficacious ability to promote healthy aging.
