Curcu-More: Curcuma capsules

Do you only know turmeric as a spice? In our CURCU-MORE turmeric capsules, turmeric (lat. Curcuma Longa L.) much more. Did you know that the plant comes from the ginger family? Because of this and its striking yellow colour, the plant is also known as yellow ginger or curcuma. Turmeric has been valued for thousands of years in India, Asia and China, where it is used in traditional health teachings as well as in Ayurveda. The root is not only known as a spice, e.g. in Indian curry. Turmeric is used beyond the kitchen.

In addition to natural turmeric powder, the CURCU-MORE turmeric capsules from MORE NUTRITION also contain a patented turmeric extract with a 95% curcuminioid content and a high-quality broccoli extract rich in the phytochemical sulforaphane. This valuable plant substance has been attracting more and more attention in Europe in recent years.

What makes our CURCU-MORE capsules so special:

• With patented turmeric extract (95 % curcuminoids)
• Broccoli extract with a very high sulforaphane content (13 %)
• Piperine ensures up to 20-fold bioavailability
• Tested quality through regular laboratory analyses

Interesting facts about turmeric

Turmeric originally comes from South Asia. The versatile plant has been known there for a long time. In South-East Asia and India, turmeric is even considered a sacred plant. Turmeric is an integral part of traditional health teachings and Ayurveda. The effect is also being researched in Europe.A special feature of turmeric powder is its bright yellow colour. The root owes this to the curcuminoids it contains. These include curcumin and other curcumin-like substances – demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and cyclocurcumin.Curcumin is a secondary plant substance and one of the biologically active substances of the turmeric root. The substance is one of the potent polyphenols that are mainly found in the outer layers of plants and are therefore unfortunately largely lost when fruit and vegetables are peeled.Normal turmeric powder contains 3 to 5 % curcuminoids, of which about half is curcumin. This makes a large amount of turmeric powder necessary for a high amount of curcuminoids, which is why, for example "Golden milk" does not provide a relevant amount of curcuminoids. In addition to the high amount of turmeric powder, CURCU-MORE also contains the patented turmeric extract CurQreal® for even more curcuminoids. This results in a dosed amount of 450 mg curcuminoids per serving (7 capsules).The special combination combines the benefits of natural turmeric powder with patented turmeric extract.

Turmeric capsules with high-quality ingredients

Not all manufacturers are aware of the other curcuminoids and often only sell curcumin extracted as a powder. If turmeric capsules are labelled as high-dose, they usually only contain curcumin. Curcumin is not the only valuable plant substance contained in turmeric capsules with pure, natural powder. Turmeric should not just be reduced to its curcuminoids, because the root and therefore also the ground powder also contain turmerosaccharides.Our Curcu-More capsules therefore not only contain extract, but also natural turmeric powder without colourings. This gives you all the valuable phytochemicals that are already naturally contained in turmeric.

Why do the turmeric capsules also contain pepper extract?

Secondary plant substances such as curcumin generally have poor bioavailability. This means that the substances are very difficult for the body to absorb. Curcuminoids are fat-soluble substances that accumulate in the intestinal environment, making it difficult for them to pass from the intestine into the bloodstream.For this reason, CURCU-MORE contains black pepper extract. Pepper also contains an important phytochemical – piperine. Thanks to piperine, the bioavailability of curcumin is up to 20 times higher. One CURCU-MORE turmeric capsule contains 3.0 milligrams of pepper extract, around 95% of which is piperine.

Turmeric capsules with valuable substances from broccoli extract

To provide your body with the best nutrients as food supplements, our Curcu-More capsules not only contain turmeric powder, but also broccoli extract.

As sulforaphane is not present in significant quantities even in most broccoli extracts, high-quality extract is difficult to obtain. However, our CURCU-MORE capsules contain a high-dose extract. The broccoli extract has a sulforaphane content of 13 %, which is confirmed by laboratory analyses. So you can be sure that you are getting exactly what it says on the label!

Interesting facts about broccoli

Did you know that broccoli also comes from Asia and belongs to the cruciferous family? The broccoli plant, and broccoli sprouts in particular, contain numerous valuable secondary plant substances. The plant substance sulforaphane in particular has gained a lot of attention in recent years. Sulforaphane is also found in other plants, but significant amounts are mainly found in broccoli.

Strictly speaking, sulforaphane is not directly contained in broccoli. Instead, it is formed from the mustard oil glycoside glucoraphanin, which makes it even more difficult to obtain the valuable plant substance. This is because sulforaphane is only formed through the breakdown of glucoraphanin by the plant’s own enzymes, the myrosinases. This process only takes place when the plant cell is "cracked". This happens to some extent when chewing – but the most effective way is to chop the plant and leave it to rest for a while. If broccoli is cooked, however, the important enzyme myrosinase is destroyed from 45 degrees Celsius, which is why cooked broccoli can no longer produce sulforaphane. This is why it is so difficult to supply the body with significant amounts of sulforaphane.
