Can special curcumin formulas deliver more to your blood?
NCT ID NCT06177483
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This trial compares how well the body absorbs curcumin from two specially formulated supplements—curQ+ and a liposomal version—versus a standard 95% curcumin extract. Healthy adults aged 18 to 75 take a single dose, and blood samples are collected over six hours to measure curcumin levels. The goal is to see if these enhanced formulations lead to greater absorption than the traditional extract.
