Curcumin (Curcuma Longa)

Curcumin is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound extracted from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric). It is responsible for turmeric’s characteristic yellow color and is widely used in nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, functional foods, and cosmetic formulations. Curcumin is valued for its antioxidant properties and is commercially supplied in standardized extract forms with defined curcuminoid concentrations to meet international quality and regulatory standards.
