A standard turmeric supplement with a good 500mg curcuminoid dose, but without an absorption enhancer.
21st Century's Curcumin 95 offers 500mg of turmeric extract standardized to curcuminoids. This is a clinically relevant dose of the active compound. The 'Curcumin 95' likely refers to a 95% standardization of curcuminoids, which is a common and desirable concentration. The price per serving at $0.33 is moderate. The main limitation, common with many turmeric products, is the absence of an explicit bioavailability enhancer like piperine. While 500mg is a good dose, a significant portion may not be absorbed without such a component. Nutritionists and online reviews often highlight the importance of absorption for turmeric, making this a decent but not optimal choice.
- Contains a strong 500mg dose of standardized curcuminoids.
- Likely standardized to a high percentage of active compounds (Curcumin 95).
- Does not include a bioavailability enhancer (e.g., black pepper extract).
- Price per serving is moderate, but value could be improved with better absorption.

Categories
Turmeric 70.0
A decent turmeric supplement providing a good quantity of the active compound, making it a reliable choice for general use, but not a standout in terms of advanced absorption technology.
Goals
General Health 75.0
The substantial 500mg curcuminoid dose provides good support for general health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, though optimal absorption would further enhance these benefits.
Joint Health 75.0
With 500mg of curcuminoids, it offers solid anti-inflammatory support for joint health, making it a good option, even if some of the dose might not be optimally absorbed.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 75.0
This product provides a good dose for anti-inflammatory support, which is curcumin's primary strength, but its full potential is somewhat limited by the lack of a bioavailability enhancer.
