CURCUBEST – A novel bioavailable formulation
Curcumin, commonly called
diferuloyl methane, is a hydrophobic polyphenol derived from the rhizome
(turmeric) of the herb Curcuma longa which
is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Turmeric has been used
traditionally for many ailments because of its wide spectrum of pharmacological
activities. Curcumin is believed to be the most bioactive and soothing portion
of the herb turmeric. Curcumin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral
and antifungal actions. Studies have shown that curcumin is not toxic to
humans. Turmeric (95 % curcumin) is effective in reducing post-surgical
inflammation. It helps to prevent atherosclerosis by reducing the formation of
bloods clumps.
Nevertheless curcumin has
extensive health benefits, pharmacokinetic studies in animals have demonstrated
that 40-85 percent of an oral dose of curcumin passes through the
gastrointestinal tract unchanged, with most of the absorbed flavonoid being
metabolized in the intestinal mucosa and liver.
CURCUBEST is a proprietary
product from Vidya Herbs, with enhanced bioavailability. CURCUBEST is an
organic turmeric extract with over 95 % curcuminoids and bioenhancers. At Vidya
Herbs, we have evaluated the pharmacokinetics of CURCUBEST in preclinical
models. Increased absorption of curcumin in the formulation prompted us to test
the bioavailability in healthy human subjects. The increased bioavailability
could be attributed to the non-curcuminoid components such as turmerones.
The presence of α- and
aromatic turmerones significantly increases the amount of curcumin transported
into the cells. α-turmerone inhibits the activity of P-gp, a drug efflux pump. Pgp
have been proven to have a very important role in inhibiting efficient drug
entry into the systemic circulation. P-gp pumps drug molecules back out of
cells with the help of changing ATP to ADP. This can lead to drug resistance.
Turmerones in CURCUBEST acts as inhibitors that might block the action of P-gp by taking away its
ATP or by competing with the drug for the pump, so less curcumin is pumped out.
CURCUBEST is proven to be safe upon oral consumption as evident
from our toxicity studies in preclinical models. Further, during the human
clinical studies, no adverse events were reported. CURCUBEST is available as
per stringent quality control.
