What is it about?
This study was conducted to assess the bioavailability of a completely natural turmeric matrix formulation (CNTMF) and compare its bioavailability with two other commercially available formulations, namely, curcumin with volatile oil (volatile oil formulation) and curcumin with phospholipids and cellulose (phospholipid formulation) in healthy human adult male subjects (15 each group) under fasting conditions.

Why is it important?
The extent of absorption of total curcuminoids in the blood for the CNTMF was 6 times greater than the volatile oil formulation and 5 times greater than the phospholipids formulation. The results of this study indicate that curcumin in a natural turmeric matrix exhibited greater bioavailability than the two comparator products.
Perspectives
I hope this article clearly indicates to choose the right choice of curcumin formulation to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin for the various biological activities.
