Curcumin 500mg 50 Capsules

£35.00

Curcumin 500 by Bio Nutrition delivers 500mg of standardised curcumin, the primary active compound in turmeric, per vegetarian capsule.

Practical tip: taking curcumin with a meal containing some fat, and alongside food naturally containing piperine (such as black pepper), may modestly improve absorption compared with taking it alone on an empty stomach.

This is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and it should not replace medical advice or treatment prescribed by your doctor.

Please speak with your doctor before use if you have gallstones or a bile duct obstruction, are on blood-thinning medication, or have surgery scheduled.

- 500mg of standardised curcumin per capsule
- Vegan, vegetarian, and Halal certified
- Free from gluten, yeast, corn, dairy, sugar, salt, wheat, and soy
- Curcumin has been studied for its role in inflammatory processes, most robustly in bioavailability-enhanced formulations different from this product

This turmeric curcumin supplement delivers 500mg of curcumin – the key active compound in turmeric – in a highly potent, standardised vegetarian capsule. Curcumin has been extensively researched for its ability to reduce key inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Multiple meta-analyses confirm that curcumin supplementation can help relieve joint pain, improve mobility and reduce stiffness, with effects comparable to conventional anti-inflammatory medications in some studies. Emerging research also supports curcumin for supporting lipid profiles, blood pressure and oxidative stress markers.

Bio Nutrition is a well-established, trusted brand committed to purity. This best turmeric supplement is free from gluten, yeast, corn, dairy, sugar, salt, wheat, soy and preservatives. It is also vegan-friendly and halal certified.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

Does this product contain piperine or black pepper extract?

No. This formulation contains curcumin, silica, magnesium stearate, and a vegetable capsule, with no added piperine or other bioavailability enhancer. If absorption is a priority for you, this is worth knowing before you buy, since we can't promise the same evidence-backed effects seen in trials that used enhanced formulations.

Why does bioavailability matter so much for curcumin specifically?

Curcumin on its own is rapidly broken down and eliminated by the body, so very little of an unenhanced dose reaches the bloodstream in an active form. This is one of the most well-documented limitations in curcumin research, which is why many supplements add piperine or use specialised delivery technology.

Is there any evidence this specific type of product (without an enhancer) still works?

Some research suggests standard turmeric and curcumin extracts show benefit in trials even without enhancement, potentially because some of curcumin's metabolites have their own biological activity. We'd describe this as a genuinely different, less certain evidence picture than an enhanced formulation, not as having no support at all.

How do I take it?

1 capsule with food, twice daily, or as recommended by a healthcare professional. Taking it with a meal containing some fat, and ideally with black pepper, may modestly help absorption.

I have gallstones, or I'm on blood thinners. Can I take this?

Please speak with your doctor first. Curcumin stimulates bile production, which isn't advisable if you have gallstones or a bile duct obstruction, and it has mild blood-thinning properties, which can add to the effect of prescribed anticoagulants.

Do I need to stop taking this before surgery?

Because of its mild effect on blood clotting, it's generally advisable to stop curcumin supplements around 1 to 2 weeks before a planned surgery. Please confirm the specific timing with your surgical team.

Does this product treat arthritis or any other diagnosed condition?

No. This is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it's not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If you're managing a diagnosed joint or inflammatory condition, please speak with your GP or specialist about appropriate treatment.
