NOW Turmeric Curcumin, Derived from Turmeric Root Extract, 95% Curcuminoids, Herbal Supplement, 60 Veg Capsules

NOW Turmeric Curcumin: 665 mg extract with 95% curcuminoids, 60 veg capsules

NOW Turmeric Curcumin is a standardised turmeric curcumin extract: each vegetable capsule holds 665 mg of turmeric root extract (Curcuma longa) with at least 95% curcuminoids, or 630 mg per capsule. NOW suggests 1 capsule once or twice a day with food, so the bottle of 60 lasts 30 to 60 days. Curcumin is the yellow compound in turmeric root, used for centuries as a spice and in traditional herbal practice. It suits adults who want a concentrated, vegan curcumin capsule rather than spoonfuls of spice. There are no authorised health claims for turmeric or curcumin, and at this concentration it should be used with the label cautions in mind.

What’s in a serving (1 veg capsule)

Other ingredients: hypromellose (cellulose capsule), calcium laurate, silicon dioxide. Vegetarian/vegan, kosher and non-GMO, per NOW. No black pepper extract.

Turmeric Curcumin questions

How much curcumin is in each capsule?

Each veg capsule has 665 mg of turmeric root extract standardised to at least 95% curcuminoids, which is 630 mg of curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin).

How do I take it?

NOW’s label says 1 capsule once or twice a day with food. Taking it with a meal that contains some fat helps, as curcumin dissolves in fat. At 1 a day the bottle lasts 60 days; at 2 a day, 30 days.

Is this the same as cooking turmeric?

No. Turmeric spice is only about 3% curcuminoids, so one capsule gives as much curcuminoid as roughly 20 g of turmeric powder. That concentration is why the label carries cautions that the spice doesn’t.

Does it contain black pepper?

No. This formula has no black pepper extract (piperine). NOW sells a separate version with BioPerine; this 60-capsule bottle is turmeric extract only.

Who should not use it?

NOW’s label says it is for adults only. Ask your doctor first if you have ever had liver, gallbladder or digestive problems, or if you take blood thinners, as curcumin can interact with them. Stop using it and see a doctor if you notice yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine or stomach pain. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
