Turmeric, Liposomal

Liposomal turmeric is curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, wrapped in a protective layer of lipids (the same kind of fatty molecules your cells are built from), forming tiny spheres called liposomes.

Curcumin has a well-known problem: it's very poorly absorbed. It doesn't dissolve well in water and is poorly taken up in the gut, so a large share of an ordinary turmeric or curcumin dose is never actually used by the body. This is the single biggest limitation of standard turmeric supplements.

Our liposomal (hydrolysed) form is built to solve exactly that. Wrapping curcumin in a lipid layer improves its solubility and shields it as it travels through the digestive system, so more of it is protected on the journey and reaches the bloodstream rather than being passed through.

We've seen how powerful this delivery method can be. In a double-blind, randomised human trial on our own liposomal vitamin C, blood levels reached almost four times higher than standard, non-liposomal vitamin C at the same dose, with no reported side effects. That's the same liposomal approach we use to deliver curcumin.

Because the lipid shell is so similar to the body's own cell membranes, it's a format designed to work with your body rather than against it: a smoother, more efficient way to take curcumin, in a form built to make the most of every dose.

In short: the active compound in turmeric, delivered in a form built to get more of it where it's needed.

In 2025, an independent team led by St Mary's University, Twickenham, published a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial on our liposomal turmeric in the peer-reviewed journal Physiological Reports.

The study's starting point is the same reason we make curcumin the way we do: ordinary curcumin is notoriously poorly absorbed. It's water-insoluble and poorly taken up in the gut, which means much of a standard dose is never used. Our liposomal (hydrolysed) form was developed to overcome exactly that, improving curcumin's solubility and raising the amount that reaches the bloodstream.

Over seven days, at one and two sachets a day, the trial measured markers of muscle damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, perceived soreness and muscle performance during recovery from intense exercise.

There are currently no authorised health claims for curcumin in GB, so we're not able to describe its health effects or state what the study found on this page. The full results are published and freely available in the peer-reviewed paper, which you can read in full below.

Our Liposomal Turmeric is used by the performance and medical teams at Brentford FC in the Premier League and Celtic FC in the Scottish Premiership, part of their players' daily routines.

It's the same sachet you'll find on our shelves: a full 750mg of curcumin per serving, wrapped in our liposomal delivery system for enhanced absorption, and light enough to take straight from the sachet at home, on a training ground or in a kit bag.
