From Fresh Turmeric Juice Pure Powder, Solvent-Free 40X Bioavailability Curcumin from dried turmeric root extracts is known for its poor solubility and bioavailability. CurcuFRESH is prepared using only fresh turmeric rhizome that is never dried or extracted using solvents. As a result, curcumin remains in its native complexed form and, when ingested, leads to dramatically higher levels of beneficial, free, non-metabolized curcumin in the body ( up to 40X as compared with standard curcumin extracts).
