We test each ingredient for identity, purity, and potency to ensure every ingredient and finished product meet our strict quality standards at the time of manufacture and up to the product’s expiration date. This includes checking for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and harmful microbes. When a product carries an NSF Certified for Sport mark, it signifies that the product has been tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by major athletic organizations.

We do not use black pepper (or piperine) in our curcumin products, because black pepper can irritate the gut mucosa. Our Curcumin Phytosome products contain Meriva®, which complexes curcumin with phospholipids (including phosphatidylcholine) to provide significantly better absorption of the curcumin than uncomplexed curcumin or curcumin blended with piperine.

Curcumin Phytosome contains curcumin, a major polyphenol constituent in turmeric. Because curcumin itself is difficult to absorb, the curcumin in Curcumin Phytosome is bound to phospholipids to enhance its absorption using phytosome technology. Thorne Curcumin Phytosome exclusively uses Meriva®, the most clinically studied curcumin on the market; as a phytosome complex, Meriva provides 29-times greater absorption compared to other curcumin extracts.

The phospholipid complex in our phytosome products, including Curcumin Phytosome, is extracted from sunflower oil. If there is a history of allergy to sunflower, we would not recommend using this product.

Everyone’s body is different, and therefore the timeframe can vary depending on your individual health, lifestyle, and the type of supplement you're taking. Some people notice changes in a few days, while for others it may take a few weeks of consistent use. Supplements work gradually to support long-term health.
