An affordable full-spectrum turmeric product that lacks standardization for active curcuminoids and an absorption enhancer, resulting in low effective potency.
The Swanson Full Spectrum Turmeric Delayed-Release 750 mg provides a high quantity of raw turmeric, and the delayed-release capsule might help protect some compounds from stomach acid. However, without a specified percentage of standardized curcuminoids, the actual amount of active compounds (curcuminoids) is presumed to be very low, typically 2-5% of the total weight. This means the effective dose is in the range of 15-37.5 mg of curcuminoids, which is therapeutically insignificant for many of the claimed benefits. The absence of a bioavailability enhancer further compounds the issue of poor absorption, limiting its overall efficacy for anti-inflammatory, joint, and general health support.
- Extremely cost-effective per serving.
- Delayed-release capsule may offer some protection for compounds in the digestive tract.
- Provides the full spectrum of compounds found in the turmeric root.
- No specified curcuminoid content, implying a very low active dose.
- Lacks a bioavailability enhancer like BioPerine, leading to poor curcumin absorption.
- Likely therapeutically ineffective for most stated goals due to low active compound concentration.
- Users should be aware that 'full spectrum' does not equate to high potency of active curcuminoids.
- Consult a healthcare professional if on medications, particularly blood thinners.

Categories
Turmeric 40.0
As a turmeric product, its focus on 'full spectrum' without quantifying active curcuminoids or addressing absorption places it among the less effective options in the collection for achieving significant health benefits.
Goals
General Health 40.0
The general health benefits are limited by the very low effective curcuminoid content and the lack of an absorption aid, making it a less impactful option for overall wellness.
Digestive Health 35.0
While offering some general turmeric compounds, its overall low potency and poor bioavailability mean it's unlikely to provide significant targeted support for digestive health beyond a very mild general effect.
Joint Health 30.0
With an unstandardized, likely very low concentration of active curcuminoids and no absorption enhancer, this product is insufficient to provide meaningful anti-inflammatory support for joint health.
