Take two capsules daily with water and preferably after a meal, or as recommended by your health care practitioner. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place without direct sunlight. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant, out of an abundance of caution, we recommend consulting your health care practitioner before using turmeric potency+ or any dietary supplement product. Keep out of reach of children.

Because of our formula's superior design and bioavailability advantage, you can benefit from turmeric potency+ at any point in the day! Our full-spectrum turmeric and ginger root extracts, combined with piperine from black pepper fruit extract, deliver unique, built-in absorption technology. With that said, to optimize the digestive support and comfort delivered by the ginger herb specifically, our Ginactiv® research partners from India recommend taking the product after a meal, if possible.*†

Whether you take turmeric potency+ in the morning, afternoon, or evening is totally up to you, but many customers prefer to leverage the power of this ultra-potent (yet gentle) turmeric-ginger-piperine trio in the morning or midday (after breakfast or lunch, respectively), to support the bulk of the waking hours of their day with this antioxidant powerhouse herbal formula, plus its multidimensional support of joint, digestive, immunity, brain, heart, and whole-body health. Others take this supplement in the evening after dinner. The best time to take turmeric potency+ is when you'll remember, to benefit daily from this superfood spice routine!*

Turmeric and its major bioactive polyphenolic phytonutrients (curcuminoids) are known for their powerful antioxidant properties and ability to support a healthy, balanced inflammatory response in the body. These health-protective and health-promoting pathways support musculoskeletal health (e.g. joints and muscles), resilience, and recovery, as well as heart, skin, digestive, immune, and even brain health. Whether intentionally supporting an antioxidant and plant-centric lifestyle or seeking some targeted recovery support following a workout, the potential benefits of a bioavailable, bioeffective turmeric root supplement are widespread and personal.*

To ensure the bioavailability and bioefficacy of the botanicals in mbg’s turmeric potency+, our turmeric and ginger root extracts utilize an innovative design known as polar-nonpolar-sandwich (PNS) technology—delivering the complete, full spectrum of native plant compounds in the botanical to provide distinct absorption and biological advantages to the consumer. Our turmeric root extract (Acumin™) is clinically shown to protect turmeric’s bioactive curcuminoids (including curcumin) and to be up to 10 times more bioavailable than other common forms of turmeric (volatile oil, liposomal, and 95% curcumin). From more effectively raising curcuminoid levels in the body, to supporting various joint and muscle health parameters, our turmeric is rooted in science. Furthermore, our ginger root extract (Ginactiv®) is scientifically shown to enhance the extract’s stability and antioxidant capacity of gingerols (i.e., free radical scavenging actions to combat oxidative stress). Our black pepper extract (concentrated with 95% piperine) is a natural bioavailability enhancer of curcumin, even further supporting the overall formula and synergy of the botanical trio (turmeric + ginger + black pepper).*†

While our ultra-potent turmeric is the clear hero or lead in our formula, mbg’s turmeric potency+ delivers a turmeric-ginger-piperine complex—with ginger and piperine complementing and sustaining turmeric’s whole-body health benefits. Whether aiming to support overall health or to enhance turmeric-led benefits (think: joints, muscles, recovery, digestion, immunity, skin, heart, brain, and more), our turmeric potency+ provides the clear bioavailability and bioefficacy advantage for these powerful spices to help you do just that. This is an herbal daily essential!*

Research has demonstrated that curcumin (turmeric’s major bioactive curcuminoid) and gingerols (ginger's major bioactive compounds) have low (poor) natural bioavailability because of their low absorption rates in the gut, rapid metabolism in the body, and thus, elimination from the body. mbg’s turmeric potency+ utilizes novel bioavailability technology (plus black pepper—a natural bioavailability enhancer) to solve these absorption challenges and give these ancient spices a modern makeover. Polar-nonpolar-sandwich (PNS) technology, aka “sandwiching” technology, is a cutting-edge delivery system to protect and efficiently deliver the botanical bioactives intrinsic to both turmeric and ginger to our body.*

Both of our novel botanical extracts (turmeric root extract as Acumin™ and ginger root extract as Ginactiv®) take advantage of the full-spectrum bioactive profiles intrinsic to the plants. Why? Because turmeric is not just curcumin. Curcumin is simply one curcuminoid in the turmeric plant. Our full-spectrum turmeric root extract features the complete matrix of native plant compounds in Curcuma longa including polyphenol phytonutrients (at least 45% curcuminoids) that are sandwiched between polar constituents (dietary fiber, polysaccharides, turmerin protein) and nonpolar parts (turmerone essential oil).

Additionally, ginger is not just gingerol. Gingerols are one type of bioactive found in the ginger plant. Our full-spectrum ginger root extract features the complete matrix of native plant compounds in Zingiber officinale including polyphenol phytonutrients (minimum 15% gingerols including a variety of gingerols and shogaols) that are sandwiched between polar constituents of ginger (dietary fiber, carbohydrates, protein) and nonpolar parts (ginger essential oils).

This optimized absorption technology allows the bioactive compounds native to turmeric and ginger to be protected inside the matrix, with the synergy and stability of polar and nonpolar layers. Complementary and optimized polarity of the plant extracts allows them to easily pass through the lipid membranes of our cells. Acumin™ (complete, full-spectrum turmeric root extract) and Ginactiv® (complete, full-spectrum ginger root extract) have been scientifically shown to provide turmeric and ginger with enhanced stability and a bioavailability advantage to promote whole-body health benefits of these antioxidant spices that support a healthy inflammatory response in the body. Our turmeric root extract (Acumin™) is clinically shown to be up to 10 times more bioavailable than other common forms of turmeric (volatile oil, liposomal, and 95% curcumin) by more effectively raising curcuminoid levels in the body, so these powerful plant bioactives can get busy supporting our joints, muscle, and whole-body health.*†

Inflammatory biomarkers are biological markers in our blood (i.e, via a blood test) that can be measured to help give us a snapshot of inflammatory processes in the body. C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are two top examples of such biomarkers. Both lab biomarkers are a helpful way to gauge general inflammatory status in the body, which has health implications for our joints, heart, brain, and honestly, the entire body. 

Of course, inflammatory pathways and responses are a normal part of our physiology, of being human, but it's critically important to strike a healthy balance. Healthy levels of CRP (a protein the liver produces) and ESR (an important health measure related to red blood cells) are associated with a balanced inflammatory response and status, as well as resilient immune function for our body’s defenses. Keeping inflammatory pathways in check, insteads of “burning” unchecked, is pivotal for overall health. 

Turmeric’s powerful antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions can help promote a healthy inflammatory response in cells throughout our body, nurturing balance, resillience, and resolution. In fact, our full-spectrum turmeric root extract (Acumin™), the hero ingredient in turmeric potency+, is clinically shown to support healthy levels of key biomarkers CRP and ESR, promoting whole-body health, including joint health benefits.*

While our ultra-potent turmeric is the clear hero or lead in our formula, mbg’s turmeric potency+ delivers a turmeric-ginger-black pepper complex. Our supplement includes ginger and piperine from black pepper to enhance and sustain turmeric’s health benefits in the body. Turmeric and ginger interestingly belong to the same plant family (Zingiberaceae). They act in similar ways in the body through key antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions to support healthy inflammatory response. While turmeric and ginger have their similarities, they also work via unique biological pathways, too, giving these powerful spices synergy and individual benefits.*

Piperine from black pepper is well known to be a natural bioavailability enhancer for a number of botanical bioactives (including curcumin in turmeric). While our turmeric root extract does not technically require black pepper (i.e., since the Acumin™ complete, full-spectrum turmeric matrix is clinically shown to have a bioavailability advantage on its own), we include black pepper fruit to provide potentially incremental support for absorption. We also include black pepper, as it possesses its own bioactive properties (not just a supporting role), including antioxidants and immune-supporting actions.*

For these reasons, we formulated turmeric potency+ with this ancient superfood spice trio to serve as your daily essential for a healthful lifestyle seeking targeted support for healthy inflammatory status in the body. Whether aiming to support overall health or to enhance turmeric-led benefits (think: joints, muscles, recovery, digestion, immunity, skin, heart, brain, and more), our turmeric potency+ provides the clear bioavailability and bioefficacy advantage for these powerful spices to help you do just that.*

Our high-quality formulas are delivered in premium, sustainable, and recyclable packaging (recyclable amber glass bottles and jars, recyclable bags, and recyclable cardboard shipping boxes made from 100% recycled paper). Always looking towards the latest innovations, we carefully and intentionally source our eco-friendly packaging to prioritize the environment, but also to protect the premium ingredients in our capsules, gelcaps, and powders (i.e., vitamins, minerals, botanicals, peptides, probiotics, bioactives) from UV light degradation. This is pivotal to ensure quality standards throughout the lifecycle of the product.

Unfortunately many refillable bags or containers do not provide the same protection and stability for our ingredients as our amber glass (bottles, jars) and PET bags achieve. What's more, the product-specific manufacturing information (i.e., specific identifiers such as the lot and date) stamped on each product would be lost when the customer discards the refill packaging, as is customary. That lost information would not enable us to comply with a variety of very important FDA regulations specific to dietary supplements (e.g., cGMPs, adverse event reporting, etc.), and regulatory compliance is something that mindbodygreen respects and prioritizes. From an additional safety standpoint, there are also microbial contamination concerns with refillable vessels over time. Thank you for your consideration as to why we have thoughtfully curated our packaging in the way we do.
