Analiza na zdravstvenu ispravnost:Curcumin C3 ComplexBioavailability Study with BioPerine
Result: The medicinal properties of curcumin obtained from Curcuma longa L. cannot be fully utilized due to its poor bioavailability caused by rapid metabolism in the liver and intestinal wall. In this study, the effect of combining piperine, a known inhibitor of liver and intestinal glucuronidation, on the bioavailability of curcumin in healthy volunteers was evaluated. In humans, after a dose of 2 g of curcumin alone, serum levels were either undetectable or very low. Concurrent administration of 20 mg of piperine resulted in much higher concentrations within 0.25 to 1 hour after ingestion, with a 2000% increase in bioavailability. The study demonstrates that at the doses used, piperine increases serum concentration, absorption rate, and bioavailability of curcumin in rats and humans without adverse effects.
Result: This study investigated the effectiveness of curcumin in alleviating chronic itching symptoms caused by sulfur mustard. 96 male Iranian veterans were randomly assigned to receive either curcumin or placebo for 4 weeks. Itching was significantly reduced in the curcumin group, while no significant change was observed in the placebo group. In conclusion, curcumin can be considered a natural, safe, widely available, and inexpensive treatment for chronic itching caused by sulfur mustard.
Result: Nano particles filled with curcumin have been formulated, which has enhanced the bioavailability of curcumin, a potent natural anti-cancer remedy, making it suitable for cancer therapy.
Result: Patients with pancreatic cancer received 8 g of oral curcumin daily in combination with gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. A total of 21 patients were included in the study. Phase I study did not reveal dose-limiting toxicities, and oral curcumin at 8 g/day was selected as the recommended dose for Phase II study. No patient withdrew from this study due to curcumin intolerance, fulfilling the primary endpoint of the study.
Curcumin C3 Complex Premium contains vitamins and minerals: VITAMINS D3, B6, B12, AND SELENIUM - contribute to the normal function of the immune system VITAMINS B6 and B12 - contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism SELENIUM - contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
Bioavailability is an important factor in the effectiveness of products, but it is not the only criterion used to compare and assess their efficacy. Various manufacturers recommend reducing the dosage of their products based on the presumed increased bioavailability of curcumin. However, research data does not support this approach, as most products increase the quantities of biologically insignificant Phase II metabolites rather than active metabolites or curcumin itself. Bioavailability is a crucial aspect of nutrient metabolism and should not be used solely for marketing and product promotion.

What is the difference between turmeric and curcuminoids?
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant from the ginger family, and its underground stem yields the spice known as turmeric, characteristic of the Indian and Southeast Asian regions. Curcuminoid is a biologically active compound, a polyphenol that gives turmeric its characteristic yellow color and exhibits strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Approximately 100g of turmeric contains 3 to 5g of curcumin.
What are curcuminoids?
Curcuminoids are active ingredients from the group of curcuminoids to which therapeutic effects are attributed, obtained by extraction from the root of turmeric. Curcuminoids in the Curcumin C3 Complex® Premium product are patented and standardized.
Are there clinical studies on Curcumin C3 Complex?
Curcumin C3 Complex³ is currently the most highly rated and clinically studied curcumin on the global market with over 80 scientific publications, including clinical trials. Additionally, the Curcumin C3 Complex® product has been awarded Product of the Year and Scientific Achievement awards by the Nutrition Business Journal. The effects, composition, and all research on Curcumin C3 Complex® are summarized in the book “Curry Powder to Clinical Significance.”
What does it mean that Curcumin C3 Complex is standardized?
It means that Curcumin C3 Complex® maintains consistent composition in the same ratios in every batch for all three curcuminoids and black pepper extract, BioPerine®.
What is the recommended daily dose?
It is recommended to take 1-2 capsules daily, preferably with meals. Since Curcumin C3 Complex® is a plant extract, it can be taken in higher doses than the recommended daily dose. Clinical studies have shown that the human body can tolerate up to 12 grams of curcuminoids per day without side effects.
Are there any restrictions on taking Curcumin C3 Complex?
It is recommended to take 1-2 capsules daily, preferably with meals. Since Curcumin C3 Complex® is a plant extract, it can be taken in higher doses than the recommended daily dose. Clinical studies have shown that the human body can tolerate up to 12 grams of curcuminoids per day without side effects.
What is bioavailability and why is BioPerine® black pepper extract added?
Bioavailability is the ratio of the amount of nutrients taken into the body to the amount of nutrients actually digested, absorbed, and metabolized by conventional biochemical processes. Simply put, it is the portion of a drug or dietary supplement dose that is actually available to act on the target site.
BioPerine® is added to the product to increase the bioavailability of curcumin, making it more effective in our bodies by up to 20 times. BioPerine® significantly enhances the bioavailability of various nutrients through increased absorption.

Why is vitamin D important for human health?
The primary function of vitamin D is in calcium metabolism, regulating the levels of calcium and phosphorus in circulation. Vitamin D acts on bones by promoting their normal mineralization, thus greatly influencing bone growth and quality. It supports the normal function of the immune system and contributes to maintaining normal muscle and tooth function. Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, vitamin D can be synthesized in the skin. However, due to modern living conditions and various factors such as pollution or inadequate sunlight exposure, vitamin D synthesis decreases, necessitating its intake through food or dietary supplements.
What effects do vitamins B6 and B12 have on the human body?
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps the body convert food into energy, contributes to normal metabolism of amino acids, proteins, red blood cells, and supports normal immune system function. Pyridoxine assists in synthesizing certain neurotransmitters crucial for normal brain development. Together with vitamins B12 and B9, it helps control the level of homocysteine, a molecule linked to heart disease. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal immune system function, enhances energy production, protects nerve and brain cells, reduces fatigue, promotes the formation of red blood cells, and supports normal homocysteine metabolism. Fatigue is one of the first signs of B12 deficiency since this vitamin aids red blood cells in transporting oxygen to organs.
Why do we use the mineral selenium in the Curcumin C3 Complex product?
Selenium is a mineral that stimulates metabolism and protects the body from free radicals. It is a component of enzymes responsible for reducing oxidative stress. Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function, and additional intake of selenium has beneficial effects on the immune system, including enhancing the activity of natural killer (NK) cells. Selenium also contributes to maintaining the health of hair, skin, and nails. The human body does not produce selenium, so it needs to be obtained through proper nutrition.
Why is Curcumin C3 Complex Premium not recommended for thyroid disease?
Curcumin C3 Complex Premium contains Black Pepper Fruit Extract (Piper nigrum) BioPerine®, standardized to at least 95% piperine, which is not recommended for hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
