Description

Curcumin has been consumed by human populations for centuries as the popular spice turmeric root used in cooking, and later as a concentrated dietary supplement. But what good are its impressive capabilities if it simply passes through the GI tract unabsorbed by the body? Although many studies on curcumin attest to its overwhelming potential, curcumin alone is difficult for the body to absorb. Swanson Controlled Release CurQfen® provides a solution to unlocking the massive antioxidant potential found in curcumin.

A unique, proprietary blend of soluble dietary fiber combined with curcuminoids and using state-of-the-art FenuMAT® Technology (a patented nutrient delivery technology utilizing soluble dietary fiber from fenugreek seeds), allows the body to slowly absorb the colloidal curcuminoids as they release into the intestines. CurQfen has, on average, been found to offer up to 45 times more absorption of active “free” curcuminoids compared to standard curcumin formulations, thereby promoting optimized delivery throughout the body. With this advanced formulation, greater benefit can be delivered, such as supporting healthy cognitive function. In fact, in studies it has been shown that supplementing 500 mg of CurQfen twice daily for 30 days was found to significantly enhance working memory performance compared to popular standardized curcumin products.¹ And the benefits from this formula continue, as preliminary studies also suggest that CurQfen may help support your fitness goals by aiding in exercise performance and muscle recovery.²

Maximize your body’s ability to take in the powerful nutrient curcumin with the increased absorption of Swanson Controlled Release CurQfen.

FAQ

What is CurQfen® and how is it different from standard curcumin?
CurQfen® is a patented curcumin-fenugreek complex designed to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin. Unlike standard curcumin extracts, CurQfen® combines curcumin with fenugreek-derived soluble fiber to help support absorption and utilization in the body. This advanced delivery system makes CurQfen® a popular choice for individuals seeking highly bioavailable curcumin supplementation.
How does CurQfen® support joint health and mobility?
Curcumin is widely recognized for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting joint wellness, mobility, and active lifestyles. CurQfen® provides enhanced curcumin delivery, helping support healthy movement, flexibility, and overall physical well-being as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Why is bioavailability important in a curcumin supplement?
Curcumin naturally has limited absorption, which is why bioavailability is an important consideration when choosing a supplement. CurQfen® was specifically developed to help improve curcumin delivery and support its availability in the body. Enhanced bioavailability helps ensure that more of the curcumin can be utilized as part of a daily wellness routine.
Does CurQfen® provide antioxidant support?
Yes. Curcumin is a well-known antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Antioxidant support plays an important role in healthy aging, cellular wellness, and overall well-being, making CurQfen® a valuable addition to many long-term wellness programs.
What are the benefits of a controlled-release curcumin supplement?
Controlled-release technology is designed to gradually release ingredients over time. In combination with CurQfen®'s enhanced delivery system, this approach helps provide sustained nutritional support for joint health, antioxidant protection, healthy aging, and overall wellness throughout the day.
Is Swanson CurQfen Curcumin/Fenugreek Complex suitable for specialty diets?
