Curcumin Extract 95% (Curcuma Longa Capsules)

Curcumin is the main bioactive compound found in turmeric. “95% curcumin extract” means the capsule contains a highly concentrated form - about 95% curcuminoids - rather than the whole turmeric root. This concentrated form is used to deliver stronger effects in smaller amounts.

Some of the commonly studied benefits include:

Supporting anti-inflammatory pathways and reducing oxidative stress

Helping with joint comfort in conditions like osteoarthritis

Supporting cardiovascular health, including lipid balance and endothelial function

Supporting liver health and detox pathways (though use with caution in liver conditions)

Take with a fat-containing meal (oils, nuts, etc.) to enhance absorption.

Splitting the dose (morning + evening) may help maintain steady blood levels.

Some formulations include ingredients like black pepper (piperine) to further boost bioavailability.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless under professional supervision (safety data is limited)

People with gallbladder disease or gallstones, as curcumin may stimulate bile flow

Those with bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant / antiplatelet medications - curcumin may increase bleeding risk

People with diabetes, especially if you are on glucose-lowering medications (risk of hypoglycemia)

Individuals with liver disease - caution due to rare liver injury reports

Yes - potential interactions include:

Blood thinners / antiplatelet drugs (e.g. warfarin, aspirin) - risk of increased bleeding
Diabetes medications - additive effects on lowering blood sugar

Drugs metabolized by liver enzymes (CYP450) - curcumin may affect their metabolism
Other herbal supplements with similar effects - avoid stacking without professional advice
