Sabinsa has introduced uC3 CLEAR, a new form of curcumin which is said to be completely water soluble, and which the company describes as a major breakthrough in curcumin technology.

“Curcumin health drinks are very popular in countries like Japan, which consume it for managing joint health, liver health, antioxidant/oxidative stress, and even hangovers,” said Anurag Pande, Sabinsa VP Scientific Affairs. “However poor curcumin solubility and resulting sedimentation in these beverages make it visually unappealing. While nano technology has been able to overcome some of the limitations, many people just aren’t comfortable ingesting nanos. Our R&D scientists have created uC3 CLEAR to make curcumin visually appealing without adding a science fictional element to it.”

Sabinsa says that uC3 CLEAR not only provides an improved, more convenient delivery system for curcumin but also overcomes the challenges and limitations that can be present with solid dosage delivery systems such as poor disintegration, slow dissolution, or difficulty swallowing, thus enhancing the uptake of curcumin. The GRAS status of Curcumin C3 Complex extends to uC3 CLEAR.

Sabinsa’s other products include Curcumin C3 Reduct for solving the problem of staining, and C3 Complex, which the company claims is the most clinically researched curcumin in the world.

Samples and availability of uC3 CLEAR will begin in April.
