Product overview

Curcumin 95% is the most specified botanical active in the supplement industry and, for that reason, among the most frequently misrepresented. The number itself means nothing without the method: 95% total curcuminoids by HPLC is a real specification, while a 95% claim from a UV reading is a far looser measurement that routinely overstates true content.

Every lot we ship is assayed by HPLC and the chromatogram travels with the Certificate of Analysis, so your QA team can verify the number rather than accept it. Total curcuminoids comprise curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin in their natural ratio.

Extracted from Curcuma longa rhizome. Curcumin is poorly water-soluble and poorly absorbed on its own — most finished formulations pair it with piperine 95% at around a 100:1 ratio, which we also supply.

Questions about Turmeric Curcumin 95% Extract Powder

What does 95% curcumin actually mean?

It should mean 95% total curcuminoids measured by HPLC — curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin combined. Some suppliers quote 95% from a UV reading, which is a looser method that typically overstates true content. Always ask which method was used and request the chromatogram.

Do I need to add piperine?

Curcumin is poorly water-soluble and poorly absorbed on its own, so most finished formulations pair it with black pepper extract standardised to 95% piperine, typically at around a 100:1 curcumin-to-piperine ratio. We supply piperine 95% and can pre-blend the two to your specified ratio.

Is organic certified curcumin available?

Yes. USDA and EU organic certified turmeric curcumin 95% extract is available on request. It carries a price premium over conventional and typically a longer lead time, so confirm the requirement early in the quotation.

Can we make this to your specification?

Yes. Mesh size, assay strength, blend ratio, packaging format and label are all specifiable. We are your turnkey manufacturing partner — if you need this material milled differently, blended with another active, or delivered as a finished encapsulated product under your own brand, that is ordinary work for us rather than an exception.
