Extensive research is being conducted in leading<br />
universities and institutes in India, Australia, Italy,<br />
the US and Japan on BCM-95 ® , Arjuna’s leading allnatural<br />
curcumin. Twelve clinical studies of turmeric<br />
curcumin, covering a range of conditions that include<br />
depression, Alzheimer disease, cancer and others, are ongoing. Arjuna<br />
holds 12 patents for BCM-95 worldwide, and has several additional patents pending.<br />
“We differentiate our turmeric curcumin through a practice of extensive research and development,” explains<br />
Benny Antony, PhD, Joint Managing Director for Arjuna. “BCM-95 is the most researched bioavailable<br />
curcumin on the market, with a majority share in the US.”<br />
Arjuna’s curcumin is highly bioavailable thanks to the synergism between the curcumin and the compound arturmerone,<br />
an essential oil component of turmeric. The patented formulation method, produced in Arjuna’s own<br />
facility, involves extracting the maximum amount of free curcumin without synthetic additives. All raw materials<br />
used are completely traceable. This ensures BCM-95 is the most trusted bioavailable source of curcumin. Two<br />
dozen studies support the health benefits of BCM-95 Curcumin extract. n<br />
