Why Formulators Choose It

Built for Formulation

Sustained-Release Design

Curcuminoids sit within a soluble and insoluble citrus-fibre matrix that is designed to release gradually rather than all at once.

Low Daily Use Level

Studied at a once-daily intake that fits comfortably into a single capsule or tablet.

Clean, Plant-Based Label

No synthetic excipients or polymers — a simple label for clean-label positioning.

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.

View CurcIR →

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

Evidence

Clinically Studied

CurcXR was evaluated in a published 8-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 100 adults. Joint-comfort scores improved more with CurcXR than with placebo. No change was seen in the blood biomarkers measured, and we report that alongside the positive findings.
