Product Description

BIOGENA Turmeric 500 Plus combines turmeric extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids with piperine (from black pepper), which can increase the bioavailability of curcumin by up to 20 times.

What We Like

  • 95% curcuminoid standardization
  • Piperine as proven absorption enhancer
  • Clean capsules without unnecessary additives
  • Austrian pharmaceutical grade

What We’re Missing

  • Piperine can cause issues for sensitive stomachs
  • No modern bioavailability technology (micelles, phytosomes)
  • Priced above market average

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a meal. Do not take on an empty stomach as piperine can irritate the stomach.

Ingredient dossier

Curcumin modulates inflammatory and oxidative pathways; moderate effects on CRP, IL-6, and joint pain—but only with enhanced formulations. Bioavailability is the limiting factor.
