Healthy Origins® Bioavailable Curcumin Phytosome™ features Meriva® - a patented, clinically studied, bioenhanced form of curcumin proven to be efficacious in the body.* The health benefits of consuming curcumin have been recognized for ages, but unlocking these benefits for the body had always been a major hurdle due to curcumin's poor systemic bioavailability. Using Indena's proprietary Phytosome™ technology that was developed in the 1980's, researchers were able to dramatically enhance the bioavailability (29x!) of the health promoting curcuminoids with Meriva®.*
