A clinically researched, bio-enhanced turmeric extract.
Turmimax® BIO is a clinically researched, bio-enhanced turmeric rhizome extract derived from Curcuma longa. Standardized to upto 95% curcuminoids and developed for 100% water dispersibility, Turmimax® BIO addresses the low dispersibility associated with conventional curcumin ingredients.
Its patented composition disperses rapidly and maintains dispersibility over time - making it suitable for innovative joint health supplements, functional beverages, powders, capsules, tablets and other nutraceutical formulations. Human clinical, in vitro and in vivo research supports its potential for joint comfort, mobility, cartilage health, antioxidant protection and a balanced inflammatory response.

Introducing OptiBio™ Assurance
TurmiMax Bio guarantees optimal bioavailability*. We call our patented sourcing and manufacturing process OptiBio™ and it delivers 35x greater bioavailability than standard 95% turmeric*.
Optimal Bioavailability.
Turmimax® BIO is manufactured through a proprietary crystallisation technique that makes curcuminoids disperse and stay soluble in water. Comparative research shows an enhanced plasma absorption profile that extends across an 8-hour window - versus a flat curve for standard 95% curcumin.
Patented Bio-Enhanced Performance
Comparative clinical concentration levels showing rapid absorption and sustained active curcuminoid bioavailability over an 8-hour window.

We do more with less.
Turmimax® BIO delivers a bioequivalent turmeric extract with a 3-to-1 potency advantage. Formulators can achieve the same efficacious benefits at a lower cost - a better bottom line for you, the same experience your customers expect.
We believe in sustainable sourcing.
Turmimax® BIO turmeric is planted, grown and harvested to organic standards across dedicated acreage in South India. Surplus nutrient-dense biomass from our extraction process is upcycled - donated to local farmers as fertiliser. Giving back is a cultural tradition here, and one we're committed to honouring.
Science says.
A growing library of clinical and pre-clinical research supports the Turmimax® BIO story - bioavailability, joint comfort, cartilage protection, antioxidant activity and a healthy inflammatory response.
