Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed and rapidly excreted, requiring large, continuous doses to achieve an effect. Curcumin-SR is unique in that it delivers curcumin in a special micronized, sustained-release matrix. This mean that it is released over time, stays in the blood longer, and is therefore active longer than regular curcumin. Clinical research shows that compared with regular curcumin, Curcumin-SR is absorbed faster, has 10x greater bioavailability, and delivers sustained release over 12 hours.
