Curcuwin Ultra+, OmniActive Health Technologies’ (“OmniActive” or “the Company”) latest addition to the company’s branded, highly bioavailable curcumin portfolio, was the subject of new science with the publication of “Superior Bioavailability of a Novel Curcumin Formulation in Healthy Humans Under Fasting Conditions” in Advances in Therapy. The study will also be presented during this year’s Experimental Biology (EB) meeting in Philadelphia, PA, from April 2-5.
“OmniActive continues to champion innovation and invest in science for the betterment of human nutrition,” said Deshanie Rai, PhD, FACN, VP, Global Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at OmniActive. “Having our data selected to be presented at the prestigious EB meeting and accepted for publication in the well-respected peer-reviewed journal Advances in Therapy speaks to the strength and relevance of this new science.”
In an acute dose, randomized, double-blind, three treatment, crossover oral bioavailability study involving 24 healthy male and female volunteers between 18 and 55 years, subjects received a single dose of Curcuwin Ultra+ 250 mg, Curcuwin Ultra+ 500 mg and 1800 mg of a 95% turmeric extract. The study showed that 250 mg Curcuwin Ultra+ was 144x more bioavailable compared to standard curcumin. In other words, this translates to one capsule containing 250 mg of Curcuwin Ultra+ being equal to 30 capsules containing the standard 95% curcumin extract. Curcuwin Ultra+ was also shown to absorb 40% faster than standard curcumin.
Curcuwin Ultra+ was developed by OmniActive to bring a clinically studied, highly bioavailable lower dose curcumin aimed at supporting joint and general health benefits for on-the-go lifestyles. Curcuwin Ultra+, which will be commercially available midyear, was first introduced at SupplySide West 2021 and was a well-received innovation in the curcumin space.
