22.43 ng/mL7.Of course this naturally leads to the question: Longvida vs. BioPerine, which is better? The truth is both are good choices. Both have the potential to increase absorption thousands of percent, compared to taking curcumin by itself. So neither is a bad choice.That being said, since Longvida has demonstrated its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and bind amyloid plaques (a hallmark sign of Alzheimer’s disease), some suggest it may be the preferred choice for research focused on brain-related conditions and traumatic brain injury.Not to say it doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier, but we are unaware of comparable clinically-validated research proving BioPerine can do that. On the flip side, remember BioPerine has data proving increased bioavailability of not just curcumin, but also other nutrients such as CoQ10.Check Longvida price on AmazonTheracurminComposition: 10% curcumin, 90% other curcuminoids (desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin)Just like the two above, this is a brand of ingredient which is used by supplement manufacturers. As is the case with Longvida, the curcumin is included in this.But what’s the other 90 percent? Curcumin (the active ingredient we care about) is one of 3 curcuminoids that is naturally found in turmeric. The other two can be thought of as largely inert ingredients: desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin.Theravalues Corporation, a Japanese bio-venture, developed this patented-form. It’s slightly newer than Longvida, which probably explains why it’s less well-known.The US version of the Theracurmin patent (application 13/497,586) was filed September 28, 20098. Surprisingly, this patent had very little emphasis on nutrition or healthcare. Its abstract reads as follows:“The present invention relates to a turmeric pigment composition. More specifically, the present invention provides a turmeric pigment composition in which aggregation and sedimentation of a turmeric pigment over time is effectively prevented even when a concentrated amount of turmeric pigment is incorporated in a solvent; the turmeric
