Longvida Optimized Curcumin

What makes Longvida® unique? The list includes:

 1. More than a dozen research studies and clinical trials in independent labs have been completed on Longvida.

 2. One small, single daily dose of Longvida offered significant health benefits in just 30 days.

 3. Published chronic-dosing safety studies on Longvida support a strong safety profile.

 4. Longvida is 65 times more bioavailable than regular curcumin.

 5. Longvida offers therapeutic levels of free (not deactivated/metabolized) curcumin.

 6. Curcumin from Longvida passes the blood-brain barrier.

 7. Longvida contains no metabolic inhibitors, volatile oils, or crude, unpurified ingredients.

The Discovery of Longvida®

In the late 1990s, a group of neuroscientists at the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) began to ask `WHAT IF?`.

WHAT IF we could significantly impact a global health issue?

WHAT IF a safe, natural compound could positively impact all the major mechanisms associated with healthy brain aging?

After screening many compounds, they stumbled onto curcumin, the active compound found in turmeric root and many foods. However, there was one major problem. Once consumed, curcumin failed to fulfill the three major requirements for bioavailability: solubility, permeability, and stability. And without bioavailability, the chances for efficacy are nil.

They started to experiment with different lipid-based forms of curcumin. They tried many different lipids, fats, cofactors, and technologies. In some cases, small improvements in bioavailability were observed, but none were able to reach therapeutic levels, or impact clinical endpoints at reasonable doses.

One day, a mistake was made in the formula, but the formula was tested anyway. The ‘mistake’ showed astonishing results, and a major discovery was made. The discovery solved all three bioavailability requirements, and impacted efficacy endpoints at reasonable doses.

The formula was so unique, it was submitted for worldwide patents. The process later became known as SLCP™ Technology.

 

About SLCP™ Technology

Cutting-edge SLCP™ Technology (patent pending) is responsible for the `magic` of Longvida®. But while this technology may be magical, it required a lot of hard work and brilliant insights to develop.

Longvida® is a finely-tuned matrix of ingredients brought together in a gentle multi-step process. The end product is precisely set in a way that preserves and protects the curcumin from the harsh environment of the stomach, dissolves it at the point of absorption in the GI tract, and helps the free form of curcumin cross into the bloodstream and target tissues.*

SLCP is the ideal absorption-promoting system, based on real, live research data that was repeated over and over using validated analytical methodologies. Yet all the ingredients are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food additives, and Longvida® is free of harsh solvents or volatile oils.

Universities, physicians, and consumers around the world now are asking `WHAT IF` about Longvida.

 

Longvida Quality Control

An intricate standardization system, including physical characterization of the SLCP™, along with an array of physical and chemical analyses using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Tandem Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging (NMR), Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy, Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) and other instrumentation are used to standardize and ensure the activity, potency, and consistency of Longvida®.

Longvida® contains no animal products, is gluten-free, and is GMO-negative (genetically modified organisms). Longvida® is made using all natural, high-curcumin turmeric extract perfected in India, but is not made using chlorinated solvents, which can be toxic.  The curcumin found in Longvida® is a 100% natural, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food additive, and has been used in traditional medicine and food for thousands of years.

Longvida® is processed under Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), in such a way to ensure identity, purity, activity, and consistency of Longvida’s benefits, from the manufacturer to your home.  It is shelf stable and has an expiration date of at least two years in dark, dry, room temperature conditions.  A strong safety profile is what makes Longvida® the premier choice of consumers and universities worldwide.
