{"product_id":"io-genix-turmeric-curcumin-bioperine","title":"IO Genix Turmeric Curcumin - Anti-Inflammatory BioPerine","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is IO Genix Turmeric Curcumin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIO Genix Turmeric Curcumin is a turmeric-based food supplement, supplied in vegetable capsules. The bottle holds 60 of them, or thirty days at the stated dosage. It belongs to the brand's Healthy Series range, the one that brings together general nutrition products rather than those intended for training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula combines two patented ingredients. \u003cstrong\u003eCursol®\u003c\/strong\u003e is a dry root extract of \u003cem\u003eCurcuma longa\u003c\/em\u003e, standardised in curcuminoids. \u003cstrong\u003eBioPerine®\u003c\/strong\u003e is a black pepper fruit extract standardised to 95% piperine, present at 5 mg per two capsules. Piperine is added for a specific reason: curcumin is poorly soluble in water and heavily metabolised by the liver, and pairing it with black pepper is the most common way of limiting that loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the composition is short: a vegetable capsule of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and plant-derived magnesium stearate as an anti-caking agent. The product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and non-GMO. You will find it in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/curcumin\"\u003eturmeric\u003c\/a\u003e range, alongside the other forms available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do two capsules contain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eActive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer 2 capsules (daily dose)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e% NRV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCursol® turmeric extract (\u003cem\u003eCurcuma longa\u003c\/em\u003e, root)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNRV not established\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBioPerine® (\u003cem\u003ePiper nigrum\u003c\/em\u003e, 95% piperine)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNRV not established\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne piece of information is missing, and it matters: \u003cstrong\u003ethe manufacturer does not publish the curcuminoid content of its extract\u003c\/strong\u003e. The label states an extract “standardised in curcuminoids” without giving the percentage. We will not guess it on their behalf. In practice, this means you cannot make a figure-for-figure comparison with an extract stating, say, 95% curcuminoids. If that level of precision matters to you, ask for it before buying, here as anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat can be said, on the other hand: 500 mg of extract a day places the product in the low-to-mid range of market dosages, and the addition of 5 mg of piperine matches what is usually used in formulas combining the two. The 60-capsule, 30-day format is simple to keep track of, which is no small thing for a product taken daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne regulatory point few product pages own up to: \u003cstrong\u003eno health claim is currently authorised in Europe for turmeric, curcumin or piperine.\u003c\/strong\u003e The applications submitted to the European authorities did not result in authorised wordings. So we describe the composition, the traditional use and the precautions — not effects. Any product page promising you an anti-inflammatory action is telling you something the regulations do not allow anyone to assert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you take Turmeric Curcumin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five parameters are given by the manufacturer. \u003cstrong\u003eDose:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 capsules a day, never more. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e a large glass of water. \u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e with meals, one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. \u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e two spread-out intakes a day. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e a course of 2 to 3 months, not exceeding 3 consecutive months, followed by a one-month break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo practical instructions really count here. Taking it \u003cstrong\u003ewith a meal\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a formality: curcuminoids are fat-soluble, and the presence of fat in the stomach changes what becomes of them. A normally composed meal is enough, there is no need to add anything. And \u003cstrong\u003edo not take it on an empty stomach\u003c\/strong\u003e: turmeric irritates sensitive stomachs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the product is new to you, start with \u003cstrong\u003ea single capsule for the first few days\u003c\/strong\u003e to check digestive tolerance, then move up to two. Stop if digestive upset persists. And drink enough across the day, 1.5 to 2 litres, which holds true for any daily supplementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this turmeric for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at adults who want to bring turmeric into their daily routine without going through the spice in the kitchen, and who prefer a measured capsule to a spoonful of powder about which nothing is known. The 30-day format suits a first course well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list of contraindications is longer than for most products in this range, and it needs reading. The product is \u003cstrong\u003econtraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ein people on anticoagulants\u003c\/strong\u003e because of a risk of interaction, \u003cstrong\u003ein case of gallstones or obstruction of the bile ducts\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ein case of active peptic ulcer\u003c\/strong\u003e. Three situations call for prior medical advice: anticoagulant treatment, antidiabetic treatment — with closer blood glucose monitoring —, and ongoing chemotherapy, where oncological advice is required. These are not precautions for form's sake: turmeric stimulates the emptying of the gallbladder and piperine alters the metabolism of many medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: it is neither a painkiller, nor a treatment, nor a substitute for medical care. If something has been hurting for weeks, the answer lies with your doctor, not in a bottle. Nor does turmeric replace a varied diet, and its value is not measured over a few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurmeric or omega 3?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two products are often bought by the same people, for the same vague reasons of general well-being. They do not, however, have the same status, and we may as well say so plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3\"\u003eOmega 3\u003c\/a\u003e, for its part, does have claims authorised by European regulation: EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart from 250 mg a day, and DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision at the same dose. These are approved wordings, with figures attached. If you want a product whose effects are recognised by the European framework, that is the one to take, not turmeric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurmeric keeps its value on other ground: a very long-standing traditional use, excellent tolerance in most people outside the contraindications listed above, and a format that is simple to keep up over three months. Many people do pair it with other supplements from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/glucosamine\"\u003eglucosamine\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/collagene\"\u003ecollagen\u003c\/a\u003e range — bearing in mind that none of those three has an authorised joint claim in Europe. We would rather tell you that once and for all than hint at it seven times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy add black pepper to turmeric?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause curcumin is poorly absorbed and rapidly transformed by the liver. Piperine, extracted from black pepper and present here at 5 mg per two capsules as BioPerine® standardised to 95%, is the ingredient most commonly paired with it to limit that elimination. It is a classic formulation choice, not an invention of the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the curcuminoid content of the extract?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not publish it. The label mentions a Cursol® extract standardised in curcuminoids, with no percentage. We flag that absence rather than put forward a figure: without it, comparison with another extract is not possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does one bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirty days. The bottle contains 60 vegetable capsules and the dosage is two a day. For a three-month course, then, allow three bottles, with a one-month break before starting again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be taken with an anticoagulant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, not without medical advice. The manufacturer lists anticoagulants among the contraindications and requires a prior consultation. The same caution applies to antidiabetic treatments, which call for closer blood glucose monitoring. Put the question to your doctor or pharmacist before opening the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould it be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a meal, every time. Curcuminoids are fat-soluble and the meal provides the fat that goes with their absorption. Taking it on an empty stomach is advised against by the manufacturer, which links it to a risk of gastric irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules vegan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant cellulose, with no animal gelatine. The product is also gluten-free, lactose-free and non-GMO, and the anti-caking agent used is a plant-derived magnesium stearate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be taken all year round?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not recommend it: it sets a limit of 3 consecutive months, followed by a one-month break.
