Curcumin Phytosome 1000 mg (formerly: Meriva 500-SF)
Thorne uses only the purest and most advanced manufacturing methods to create products that even the most sensitive of us can use. Unlike many other manufacturers Thorne does not use magnesium stearate in its production. Almost everyone responds well to Thorne's curcumin.
Superior Absorption
Usually, curcumin is moderately absorbed when taken as a supplement. By using a new extraction and absorption method, namely phytosome technology, this problem has been solved. Scientific research shows that curcumin is much better absorbed when it is linked to phosphatidylcholine: according to a human study Meriva was absorbed 29 times better than regular curcumin. Thorne's Curcumine Phytosome 1000mg uses this system exclusively.
Soy free
Most phytosome products are made with phosphatidylcholine from soy. This special product is soy free and removes the choline from the sunflower. This makes it usable by almost everyone.
