Overview

NOW CurcuBrain provides 500mg of Meriva curcumin phytosome, a patented form that binds curcumin to phosphatidylcholine for dramatically improved absorption — 29x better bioavailability than standard curcumin. This addresses curcumin's biggest limitation: poor absorption. Meriva has been used in over 35 clinical studies demonstrating benefits for joint health, cognitive function, and inflammation. The 60-capsule count provides a 2-month supply.

The bioavailability-solved curcumin. Meriva's phytosome technology eliminates curcumin's absorption problem. If standard turmeric didn't work for you, this likely will.
