The presence of phosphatidylcholine derived from soy lecithin led us to request a certified declaration from the manufacturer regarding the non-presence of GMOs which was promptly provided to us.
In a new comparative study in humans, overall curcuminoid absorption was approximately 29-fold higher for phospholipid Turmeric compared to uncomplexed turmeric, while a 50-60-fold higher absorption was demonstrated for demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Improved absorption, and perhaps even a better profile of curcuminoids in plasma, may underlie the efficacy of Turmeric Phospholipid at significantly lower doses compared to uncomplexed turmeric.
PHYTOSOMES
The soy phospholipid complexes with plant active ingredients that are poorly soluble in water and lipids give rise to phytosomes. In phytosomes the active ingredient forms hydrogen and/or polar bonds with the phospholipid. Phosphatidylcholine lends itself to this task, in fact it has a negatively polarized head and a positively polarized one, which bind to the complementary polar groups of the plant substances.
The bioavailability of several herbal active ingredients can be irregular and poor due to limited gastrointestinal absorption and pH instability of the digestive tract. The poor absorption may be due to the size of the molecule of the vegetal principle which prevents its diffusion and to the poor or no miscibility in lipids.
Phosphatidylcholine forms a shuttle capable of transporting the active ingredients, protecting them, through the digestive tract and facilitating their absorption and bioavailability in organs and tissues.
