Bioavailability of curcumin
Curcumin exhibits low oral bioavailability and may undergo intestinal metabolism;
absorbed curcumin undergoes rapid first-pass metabolism and excretion in the bile.
In vivo studies show that less than 1% of the curcumin one consumes actually makes it into the bloodstream, and the liver rapidly destroys most of this.
In order to increase the bioavailability of Curcumin one has to inhibit the enzymes responsible
for the transformation of curcumin to inactive substances.
Encapsulated curcumin with added enzyme inhibitors increase its bioactivity over a longer
time-period compared to the free Curcumin.
