Curcugreen® (curcumin extract)

Curcugreen® is a highly bioavailable curcumin extract derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa). Turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, while modern formulations concentrate its key active compounds (the curcuminoids) into a more consistent and easily absorbed form.

Curcumin is best known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular ingredient for joint health, recovery and healthy ageing.

Why Bioavailability Is Important

Standard curcumin is poorly absorbed and is rapidly broken down by the body. Curcugreen® uses naturally occurring turmeric oils to improve absorption and help curcuminoids remain available in circulation for longer.

This allows useful levels of curcumin to be delivered without relying on very large doses of ordinary turmeric powder.

Joint Health and Inflammation

Curcumin influences several pathways involved in the body's normal inflammatory response.

For this reason, it is commonly used to support joint comfort, flexibility and mobility, particularly with ageing, repetitive physical activity or exercise.

It can also complement other joint-support nutrients such as glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen and Boswellia.

Antioxidant and Recovery Support

Exercise, ageing and everyday metabolism naturally generate reactive molecules known as free radicals. Curcumin helps support the body's antioxidant defences, protecting cells and tissues from excessive oxidative stress.

This combination of antioxidant and inflammatory support also makes Curcugreen® useful in formulas aimed at physical recovery and maintaining healthy tissues over time.

Curcugreen® for Pets

Curcumin is also used in supplements for dogs and other animals, particularly in formulas supporting joint mobility, healthy ageing and recovery.

Highly absorbable extracts such as Curcugreen® allow smaller, more practical amounts to be incorporated into pet supplements, often alongside ingredients such as Greenshell™ Mussel, glucosamine, chondroitin or Boswellia for broader joint support.
