Why Choose Vitadefence Turmeric Max with Vitamin B6 and Zinc?

Turmeric has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese practice. Each Turmeric Max capsule provides turmeric extract equivalent to 7895 mg of root, providing 150 mg curcumin, with zinc, vitamin B6 and black pepper.

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is the golden spice that has been central to Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine for millennia. The active compounds in turmeric, called curcuminoids, are what give it both its characteristic yellow color and its studied properties.

Each capsule provides:

• Turmeric Root Extract: 7895mg per capsule, equivalent weight from extract (providing 150mg curcumin)
• Organic Turmeric Root Powder: 200mg per capsule

This dual approach—combining concentrated extract with whole organic root powder—ensures you receive both the concentrated active compounds and the full spectrum of natural constituents found in turmeric root.

Important note: The turmeric does not originate from the UK.

This comprehensive formula combines ancient wisdom with modern nutritional science.

Turmeric Extract and Powder (7895mg + 200mg)

The extract is standardised to 150 mg curcumin per capsule.

Black Pepper (5 mg)

This is crucial. Curcumin, the primary curcuminoid in turmeric, has poor bioavailability on its own—much of it passes through your system without being absorbed.

Ginger Root (200mg)

Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) is turmeric's botanical cousin, sharing the Zingiberaceae family. Used for thousands of years alongside turmeric in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, ginger has been used alongside turmeric for centuries.

Cayenne Pepper (40mg)

Cayenne (Capsicum Frutescens) provides warming properties and contains capsaicin.

Bamboo Silica (100mg providing 7.50mg Silica)

Bamboo extract provides 7.5 mg silica per capsule. This complements zinc's role in maintaining normal skin, hair, and nails.

Zinc (1.5mg - 15% NRV)

Zinc's extensive list of contributions makes it one of the most important minerals in the body. Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin B6 (0.21mg - 15% NRV)

B6 supports numerous functions including immune health, energy metabolism, and hormonal regulation, creating a well-rounded wellness formula when combined with turmeric.

Dosage: Take 1 capsule, 1 to 3 times per day with food or as advised.

Important: Take with food to optimize absorption and minimize potential stomach sensitivity from the high turmeric dose and warming herbs (cayenne, black pepper).

Flexible Dosing:

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Why is the turmeric dose so high (7895mg)? This concentrated extract provides 150mg of curcuminoids—the active compounds. The high mg amount reflects the extract concentration ratio. The extract provides 150 mg curcumin per capsule.

What's the difference between curcumin and curcuminoids? Curcumin is the primary curcuminoid (comprising about 75% of total curcuminoids). Curcuminoids also include demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Our label states 150 mg curcumin per capsule.

Can I take this with blood thinners? Consult your doctor first. If you take blood-thinning medication, ask your doctor before use.

Will this stain my teeth? No, it's in capsule form. However, avoid opening capsules as turmeric powder can stain surfaces.

Can I take this if I have gallstones? Consult your doctor. If you have a gallbladder condition, ask your doctor before use.

Why take with food? Curcumin is fat-soluble and better absorbed with dietary fat. Taking with food also minimizes potential stomach sensitivity from the warming spices.

How long until I notice effects? This varies by individual and what you're taking it for.

Can I take this long-term? Yes, when taken as directed. Turmeric has been consumed daily for centuries in traditional diets. However, periodic breaks are often recommended with high-dose supplements.

Why both extract and powder? The extract provides concentrated curcuminoids, while the powder provides the full spectrum of turmeric's natural compounds, including essential oils and other beneficial constituents.

Is 15% NRV of zinc and B6 enough? This provides foundational support. If you need higher doses, you can take additional supplements or take multiple capsules (up to 3 daily).

Generally compatible with:

• Most vitamins and minerals
• Omega-3 supplements
• Probiotics
• Most other Vitadefence supplements

Use caution when combining with:

• Other turmeric or curcumin supplements (check total intake)
• Blood thinning supplements (fish oil, garlic, ginger at high doses)
• Blood sugar affecting supplements (if diabetic)
• Other supplements with black pepper or piperine

Check with doctor before combining with:

• Blood thinning medications
• Diabetes medications
• Medications metabolized by liver
• Iron supplements (take separately—turmeric may reduce absorption)

For optimal results with turmeric supplementation:

1. Take with food - Especially meals containing healthy fats
2. Stay hydrated - Adequate water supports all supplements
3. Combine with healthy lifestyle - Exercise, sleep, stress management
4. Include turmeric in cooking - Culinary use complements supplementation
5. Consider cycling - Some people take periodic breaks (e.g., 5 days on, 2 days off)
6. Monitor your response - Track how you feel over weeks and months

Curcumin faces three bioavailability challenges:

1. Poor absorption - Doesn't easily cross intestinal barrier
2. Rapid metabolism - Quickly broken down by the liver
3. Quick elimination - Rapidly excreted from the body

Solutions include:

• Piperine (black pepper) - Our formula uses this approach
• Lipid formulations - Taking with dietary fat helps
• Nanoparticle technology - Used in some specialized products
• Combination with adjuvants - Ginger and cayenne may help
