Summary: Curcumin, found in turmeric, may help improve exercise performance and speed up recovery by reducing muscle damage, soreness, and inflammation. It works as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, potentially helping with endurance and strength during and after exercise.
Longvida® Optimised Curcumin® is thought to be more effective than most forms of curcumin because it uses a special delivery technology called SLCP™ (Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle), which UCLA scientists developed. This technology coats curcumin in tiny lipid particles, closely replicating a cell’s membrane, making it much easier for the cell to absorb. Consequently, Longvida® has significantly higher bioavailability, allowing for greater effects at a cellular level.
Curcumin has been shown to reduce inflammation by lowering levels of inflammatory molecules called cytokines. These molecules create an immune response and inflammation. Curcumin can interact with the genes that produce these cytokines, stopping their production and limiting their inflammatory effects in the body.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a protein in the brain that supports the survival, growth and maintenance of brain cells (neurons). Curcumin can influence the activity of genes that control the release of BDNF to be switched on, leading to the increased output of BDNF.
Curcumin also stimulates the cells to create more NRF2, an enzyme that produces antioxidants in the body, such as glutathione. This chemical helps to lower oxidative stress in joints by donating electrons to the harmful free radicals that create inflammation and cause degeneration.
A certain amount of inflammation is essential for recovery from infections, injury, and exercise. However, many people experience increasing levels of chronic inflammation over time, a phenomenon known as ‘inflammaging.’ This is driven by exposure to environmental stressors like poor diet, toxin exposure, and psychological stress. Persistent oxidative stress from prolonged inflammation strains the body’s antioxidant resources, causing cells to struggle with repair and renewal. Over time, this leads to an accumulation of cellular damage, further fueling inflammation.
By lowering levels of inflammatory molecules like cytokines, curcumin helps mitigate the “inflammaging” process, where persistent low-grade inflammation damages cells and tissues over time. Additionally, curcumin’s ability to activate the Nrf2 pathway boosts the production of antioxidants like glutathione, which protect cells from oxidative damage. This combined anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action promotes healthier ageing by protecting against cellular damage and improving overall resilience.
Consider the statements below. If you find one or more relatable, Curcumin might be the supplement you’re looking for:
Turmeric is a spice found in the Curcuma longa plant. It contains multiple compounds like curcuminoids, volatile oils and antioxidants and is widely used in cooking and traditional medicine. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric and is extracted and concentrated for dietary supplements. Unlike turmeric, curcumin has low bioavailability and often includes enhancers to improve absorption.
Longvida Optimised Curcumin® uses a patented delivery technology shown in multiple studies to improve its absorption, allowing it to be more effective.
Specifically, studies have shown that Longvida Optimised Curcumin® has 285x greater bioavailability and 65x higher peak plasma levels. It also lasts 7x longer in the body than standard curcumin.
Longvida® also delivers free curcumin (the active form) into the bloodstream and target tissues and is the only form shown to reach and benefit the brain.
Finally, because Longvida Optimised Curcumin® uses a fatty acid coating to protect the curcumin molecule, it can survive degradation in the liver (where most supplements degrade), meaning more curcumin reaches the blood in its free active form.
Around 23% of Longvida® Optimised Curcumin® is curcuminoids. This means a single 400 mg capsule contains 92 milligrams of free curcumin.
Lecithin forms part of the coating that enhances the absorption of Longvida® Curcumin. Longvida® sources its lecithin from soy beans, so we advise those with a soya bean allergy not to use this product.
