Liposomal Curcumin

What is curcumin?

Curcimine is an active ingredient found in turmeric, a root often used in Asian dishes.
For centuries, turmeric has been praised for its special properties.
The active ingredient, cucumin, is known to support the immune system*, is good for liver function and digestion*, helps maintain supple joints*, and supports mental balance and central and peripheral nervous system function*.

The challenge of curcumin absorption

Curcumin naturally has low bioavailability, meaning it is difficult for the body to absorb.
Using black pepper in supplements and dishes improves absorption slightly, but not enough.
Using the unique Lipo-Real® technology, we are the first in the world to convert curcumin into a true liposomal powder.
The stable, dry liposomal curcumin powder easily forms true liposomes in the intestinal system, leading to superior absorption and superior biological activity.

The benefits of liposomal technology

To solve this problem, we at Kala Health use liposomal technology.
Liposomes are microscopic fat particles that form a “ball” made of fatty acid chains arranged against each other.
The fatty acid chains arrange themselves with the fat-loving tail toward each other, and the water-loving head outward.
This creates small spheres with a hollow interior in which active (water-soluble) ingredients can be trapped. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1: the structure of a liposome The liposomes protect the nutrients from being broken down by the digestive juices in stomach, and are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestines.
Because the liposomes have a similar structure to body’s own cell membrane, it is easily absorbed after which the nutrients are absorbed into the cell

TIP: To test whether a dry powder is truly liposomal, stir some powder into a glass of water.
True dry liposomes quickly form a true liposomal solution. With liposomal curcumin, the bioavailability of curcumin is significantly increased, allowing your body to reap the full benefits of this product.

This means you can see more results with a lower dose compared to higher-dose curcumin supplements.
