When taken orally, the absorption (bioavailability) of curcumin is very low. The reason for this is that curcumin is mostly insoluble in water and that is quickly transformed and expelled from the body. Low absorption has been a reason for clinical research not showing regular curcumin to be effective, even in large doses. Theracurmin is a natural curcumin, which uses advanced techniques to reduce the size of the curcumin particle. Human clinical trials have shown Theracurmin® to be 27 times more bioavailable than a normal curcumin extract. And they have also shown Theracurmin® to be biologically more usable compared to other curcumin supplements on the market. Theracurmin® has been clinically proven to support detoxification pathways and healthy cardiovascular functions. It also allows for muscular healing after acute exercise and relieves mild pain resulting from occasional overuse.

KER BIOMARINE, Superba Krill™ Aker BioMarine is a biotechnology inventor and krill harvesting company dedicated to improving human and planetary health. Aker BioMarine krill fishing has been ranked the most sustainable fishing operation in the world, as it is the only fishing operation to recieve an ‘A’ grade from the Sustainable Fishing Association. Superba Krill ™ oil is procured from Euphasia Superba which is a type of Antarctic krill. Krill are small, shrimp-like crustaceans which support our health with their long chain omega-3 fatty acid (EPA and DHA), phospholipid, choline and astaxanthin content.

Synaco, ATA-Mg® Magnesium is a nescesary co-factor for more than 300 enzymes present in biosynthesis processes and energy metabolism. Intracellular magnesium defficency causes a calcium overload, which in turn results in the death of the cell. Taurine is one of the most abundant amino-acids in the central nerveus system. Taurine serves critical roles in brain function and serves as a neuro-osmolyte, neuromodulator and calming neurotransmiter. Taurine present in the cellular structure is a strong antioxidant that reduces free radicals produced during calcium cell. ATA-Mg® provides a one of a kind bioavailable magnesium: ATA-Mg® is a pattented acetyl taurinate magnesium salt which provides advanced magnesium cell penetration and physiological properties regarding optimized intracellular magnesium concentration. Taurine’s acetylation gives ATA-Mg® a lipophilic character which facilitates the passing and cell penetration of membrane phospholipids, especially to neuronal cells, for both magnesium and taurine, by eliminating the zwitterion structure of taurine.

Selenium SeLECT® Contains a minimum of 40% elemental selenium. It is important to note that “chelates” and “organically bound” forms of selenium are not similar to Sabinsa’s Selenium SeLECT® form, because both these forms emmit inorganic selenium within the body. Selenium SeLECT® is a singular chemical matter that contains molecularly integrated selenium in place of the sulphur found in the methionine molecule, an essential amino acid. Selenium SeLECT® is integrated into proteins of the body in ways simmilar to those used for methionine. This renders Selenium SeLECT® not only safer, but more bioavailable compared to “dry blended” selenium and methionine products. Organically bound selenium, plays a role as an important compound in the detoxification system of the body.

BGG, Astaxanthine AstaZine™ BGG’s Astaxanthin (AstaZineTM) is produced using Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae (HP). This algae isthe form known to produce the highest Astaxanthine concentration; it typically contains 1.5-3 % dry biomass and is the main form found in 3S, 3’S-AX HP; almost 88%. Current research proves that 3S, 3’S-AX have higher biological activity in microalgae compared to trans-isomer (3R, 3’R-) and mesoform (3R, 3’S-AX). 3S, 3’S-AX has such a perfect structure that it is the strongest antioxidant found in nature.

Kaneka, Ubiquinol™ Kaneka is a production company specialising in Ubiquinol production, based in Osaka, Japan, founded in 1949. Ubiquinol is a form of active and unoxidized CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) which can be easily used by your body. Ubiquinol is a formula that is 3-8 times more absorbable compared to traditional Coenzyme Q10.

Sharp PS, Frutarom® Sharp PS is produced in the Enzymotec production facility, which is part of the Frutarom group and has been a pioneer in lipid technologies for more than twenty years. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a member of the phospholipid family, which are a type of lipid and the basic building blocks of cell membranes. PS is a natural compound and is one of the main building blocks of the brain, where it is found 6 times more frequently compared to neuronal tissue and other tissue.

Maypro&Tokiwa, Bilberon® Bilberon® is produced only from Northern European Blueberry fruits. Tokiwa has developed a technology that distinguishes the only member of the blueberry family that has been subjected to thorough research regarding eye health, from all the others. The approved fruits are then frozen and sent to Japan. They are then crushed, concentrated, purified and dried to produce the natural dark purple powder that contains at least 36% anthocyanin, that could help preserve the sensitive structures of the eye. It has been the subject of five original published experiments, including two human clinical trials that proved it relieved eye fatigue, cured dryness of the eye, and helped preserve clear and focused eyesight.

Gelita, Verisol ® Collagen is the main structural compound that constitutes 80% of the skin’s dry mass. It is known that the skin’s properties can be affected by environmental and endogenous factors such as ageing, ultraviolet radiation, hormones and nutrition.
