An economical large-pack turmeric rhizome extract lacking curcuminoid standardization and an absorption enhancer.
Quantity: 60Quantity: 180
This is essentially the same product as ID 209735 but in a larger quantity (120 servings). Paradise Turmeric Rhizome Extract offers 250mg of 'Turmeric rhizome extract' per serving. The price per serving at $0.20 is competitive. As before, the key issue is that the extract is not standardized for curcuminoids, meaning the actual amount of active compounds is unknown and potentially low. Furthermore, no bioavailability enhancer is listed. While buying in bulk can be economical, the fundamental limitations in terms of active ingredient clarity and absorption remain. Nutritionists consistently emphasize the need for standardized curcuminoids with improved absorption for meaningful health benefits.
- Economical price per serving for a larger quantity.
- Turmeric extract is not standardized for curcuminoid content, making potency uncertain.
- 250mg is a relatively low dose for therapeutic effects.
- Lacks a bioavailability enhancer, limiting absorption of active compounds.
- The same limitations as the smaller version (ID 209735) persist.
- Unspecified curcuminoid content may lead to lower efficacy than expected.

Categories
Turmeric 50.0
Though offered in a larger package, it still represents a basic turmeric extract without the necessary standardization and absorption enhancement for optimal efficacy.
Goals
General Health 55.0
While it contains turmeric extract, the unknown curcuminoid content and lack of absorption enhancement limit its contribution to general health, offering only mild support despite the larger quantity.
Joint Health 45.0
The effectiveness for joint health is hindered by the uncertain amount of active curcuminoids and poor absorption, making it less impactful than standardized, bioavailable options, regardless of quantity.
Digestive Health 45.0
Any anti-inflammatory benefits for digestive health are limited by the non-standardized and poorly absorbed nature of the extract.
