Andrew Lessman Turmeric 400 mg 60 Capsules

Overview

Andrew Lessman's Turmeric formula delivers 400 mg of a standardized extract with 95% curcuminoids bound to a phospholipid complex, in small capsules sized for easier swallowing. The 60-capsule bottle is free of dairy, gluten, milk, soy and wheat.

Curcumin, turmeric's active compound, is poorly absorbed on its own, and phospholipid complexing is one of the more established methods used to improve that, which is the mechanism behind the absorption claim rather than the 400 mg dose alone. Capsule size is called out specifically as small, aimed at people who find standard supplement capsules hard to swallow.

• 400 mg standardized turmeric extract
• 95% curcuminoids via phospholipid complex
• Small, easy-to-swallow capsule size
• Free of dairy, gluten, milk, soy, wheat

Who it's for

Fits people who want a standardized, high-curcuminoid turmeric extract and specifically prefer smaller capsules over large tablets. Less relevant for anyone wanting turmeric in powder or gummy form.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The phospholipid complex works by binding curcuminoids to fat-based molecules that are more readily absorbed across the gut lining than raw turmeric extract, which is the mechanism standardized extracts like this rely on rather than dosage alone. At 95% curcuminoids, the extract is concentrated well above raw turmeric powder, which typically runs 2 to 5% curcuminoids by weight. The 60-capsule count at one capsule daily covers about two months.
