Choosing a Turmeric Ingredient

CurcXR or CurcIR?

Both are turmeric ingredients evaluated in the same published study. The difference is how they are designed to release.

Choose CurcXR for Sustained Release

CurcXR sits in the CITRAP20™ citrus-fibre matrix and is designed to release gradually. It suits once-daily, all-day joint-support formulations in capsules, tablets and powders.

Choose CurcIR for High Potency

CurcIR uses the VedaBIO‑X platform, combining immediate and extended release. It suits high-potency formulations, such as active-nutrition and recovery products.

Some brands use both: CurcXR for daily joint support and CurcIR for active-lifestyle ranges. Our team can help you choose.
