19 Sep 2018 --- At Vitafoods Asia 2018, Frutarom Health highlighted a highly bioavailable curcumin product. “We offer a liquid curcumin where the body gets it in a liquid form rather than a powder form. With that the body is able to absorb it much better: in fact 185 times better when compared to the normal powder. Also because it is liquid it allows for application in a beverage. So we expand the possibilities from tablets and capsules into the food space, where you can get a very important health ingredient that is very trendy because the joint health is important, you get it in a liquid and form beverage. You are no longer taking a pill but rather a food item. We see this as very conducive to the Asian consumer who prefers food delivery systems,” says Raimund Hoenes at Frutarom Health.
