Our formula provides an extraordinary amount:

• Turmeric Root Extract: 7895mg per capsule (providing 150mg Curcuminoids)
• 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.

Understanding the Key Ingredients

Turmeric Extract and Powder (7895mg + 200mg)

The 7895mg extract provides a concentrated source of curcuminoids—the compounds studied extensively for their properties. Standardized to provide 150mg of curcuminoids per capsule, this ensures consistent, meaningful doses.

The additional 200mg of organic turmeric root powder provides the whole herb with its full spectrum of naturally occurring compounds, including essential oils and other constituents that work synergistically with curcuminoids.

Black Pepper (5mg) - The Bioavailability Booster

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. Black pepper contains piperine, which has been shown to increase curcumin absorption by up to 2000% in some studies.

The 5mg of black pepper in each capsule significantly enhances the bioavailability of the turmeric, ensuring you get maximum benefit from the high dose.

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 complements turmeric's properties and supports digestive comfort.

Cayenne Pepper (40mg)

Cayenne (Capsicum Frutescens) provides warming properties and contains capsaicin. Like black pepper, cayenne may support circulation and enhance the overall effectiveness of the formula.

Bamboo Silica (100mg providing 7.50mg Silica)

Bamboo provides natural silica, supporting connective tissue health. 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. Its role in protecting cells from oxidative stress particularly complements turmeric's traditional uses.

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.

How to Use Turmeric Max

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:

• 1 capsule daily: Maintenance support (90-day supply)
• 2 capsules daily: Moderate support (45-day supply)
• 3 capsules daily: Enhanced support (30-day supply)

Frequently Asked Questions

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. With black pepper for enhanced absorption, this delivers a meaningful therapeutic dose.

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 formula provides total curcuminoids.

Why is black pepper included? Piperine in black pepper dramatically increases curcumin bioavailability—up to 2000% in some studies. Without it, much of the curcumin would pass through unabsorbed.

Can I take this with blood thinners? Consult your doctor first. Turmeric may have blood-thinning properties and could interact with anticoagulant medications.

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. Turmeric stimulates bile production, which could be problematic with gallbladder issues.

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. Some people notice differences within weeks, while building up tissue levels of curcumin takes consistent use over months.

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).

Combining with Other Supplements

Generally compatible with:

• Most vitamins and minerals
• Omega-3 supplements

Check with doctor before combining with:

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

Understanding Curcumin Bioavailability

Curcumin faces three bioavailability challenges:

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

Our formula uses multiple strategies—black pepper, cayenne, ginger, and recommendation to take with food—maximizing the benefits of the high turmeric dose.

• Ayurvedic medicine - Considered purifying and balancing

• Culinary traditions - Essential in curry powders and daily cooking
• Ceremonial uses - Sacred in Hindu ceremonies
• Traditional cosmetics - Applied topically in beauty rituals
