Nutrient quality
Serving of 100mg of curcuminoids is enhanced by 1400mg of root powder for a balanced approach. Inclusion of 10mg of BioPerine is a strong addition to maximize the absorption of all turmeric compounds.
Analysis
While the name says 1500mg, it is important to note that 1400mg of that is raw powder and 100mg is standardized extract. This blend is great for people who believe in the synergy of the whole plant but still want a little extra concentrated curcumin. The addition of BioPerine is a major plus, as it helps you absorb the compounds from that large amount of powder.
The bottle comes with 180 capsules, providing a three-month supply if you take two per day. This makes it a very cost-effective choice for long-term maintenance. It is a middle-ground product that offers more than basic powders but is less intense than pure extract supplements.
