Overview

Life Extension Curcumin Elite uses CurcuWIN technology, which has been shown to be 270 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin in pharmacokinetic studies. CurcuWIN uses UltraSOL Nutrient Delivery System to encapsulate curcumin in a water-dispersible form, dramatically increasing absorption. Each capsule provides 500mg of CurcuWIN (equivalent to 100mg curcuminoids). Life Extension's science-first approach means they chose CurcuWIN specifically because it showed the highest bioavailability in head-to-head comparisons.
