- How does Curcumin Elite differ from plain turmeric?
- It uses a proprietary curcumin blend that Life Extension says delivers more free curcuminoids than standard turmeric extract. Plain turmeric powder has low curcumin content and poor absorption.
- How does it compare with curcumin plus piperine?
- Piperine boosts absorption but can slow the clearance of some drugs. This formula uses its own blend with ginger and turmerones instead, so check with a doctor if you take medication.
- Is it vegan?
- No. The softgel is made with gelatin, so it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.
- How should I take it?
- Take one softgel daily, ideally with a meal containing fat, which helps curcumin absorption. Follow the label and your doctor's advice.
- Can I take it with blood thinners?
- Turmeric and ginger can affect clotting. Talk to your doctor before combining them with warfarin or other anticoagulants.
- What is in the bottle?
- Softgels containing the Curcumin Elite blend, ginger and turmerones, with olive oil, beeswax, carob color, gelatin and glycerin. Check the label for the count.
