Product Description

Curcumin is the purified active ingredient of the superfood spice Turmeric – used around the world for its healing properties.

Our modern world is full of toxins, stresses and compounds that promote inflammation, and Curcumin help to fight all of them – even helping to lower the effects of the aging process and reducing risk of disease.

However, Curcumin is most importantly a seriously powerful compound for improving brain health and performance.

Whenever our bodies encounter inflammatory substances in the world, the subsequent inflammation produced in the body can eventually make its way into our brains.

This causes brain fog, impairs memory and concentration whilst being sub-optimal for overall brain health.

Once this process has started, there is no stopping it – unless we use powerful anti-inflammatories to slow down and halt this process.

Curcumin is one of the one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories available and does exactly that.

Pure Nootropics’ Curcumin is 80% pure and with the addition of BioPerine we’ve enhanced its bioavailability in the body by over 2000%.

Curcumin also has strong anti-oxidant effects which are important in an environment full of free-radicals, and can therefore support a healthier aging process for our bodies and brains.
