Curcumax ™ is a specially standardized natural extract of turmeric from Kancor, rich in therapeutically and nutritionally vital compounds called Curcuminoids.

Traditionally, in the Indian Ayurvedic medicine system, turmeric has been prescribed for a variety of ailments. Turmeric is also well known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, and has been an important element of traditional forms of digestive aids, wound treatment, cosmetic preparations, etc.

Curcuminoids - the main active substances in turmeric extracts -are a complex of pigments comprising of Curcumin, demethoxy Curcumin, bis-demethoxy Curcumin and traces of dihydro Curcumin. Curcuminoids are widely employed as natural coloring used in avariety of foods especially in curries, pickles and processed foods which are acidic and also possessing appreciable amounts of fatty oils. Curcumin is perhaps the most important constituent which has undergone systematic research to unravel its useful anti oxidant properties - but positive properties of other Curcuminoids are constantly being researched.


Modern research has confirmed the therapeutic value of Curcuminoids and demonstrated their benefits for use in a wide range of nutraceutical and functional food applications. Dietary dosage studies have indicated that even high dosages of Curcumin/ Curcuminoids have no ill effects and therefore can be considered as a safe food or nutraceutical additive.
