Curcumin Active™ is a high dose of fast-acting Longvida-optimized curcumin, effective in easing inflammation from activity-related injuries to joints or muscles.  Longvida-optimized curcumin was specially formulated to address issues with standard curcumin products including low bioavailability, poor absorption and rapid breakdown. Although bioavailability and absorption help determine effectiveness, the key to its success lies with the capacity of Curcumin Active™ to remain free, unbound and in circulation in the body. Particles are reduced to a nano-particle size, then coated in lipids to ensure the free unbound curcumin reaches the tissues.This formula provides a high dose in a convenient vegan friendly capsule for fast and sustainable relief.AOR AdvantageAOR was the first to introduce Longvida curcumin to Canada in 2011. Although bioavailability and absorption help determine curcumin’s effectiveness, the key lies within its ability to remain free (unbound) in circulation and not rapidly broken down by the liver. In this free form, curcumin can enter the blood stream where it remains stable, concentrated and effective for up to 24 hours. Studies have shown curcumin is as effective as various common NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in osteoarthritis sufferers.
