More effective than black pepper-based supplements
Curcumin is difficult for the body to absorb, so many turmeric supplements use piperine, a black pepper extract, to increase gut permeability and briefly shut down liver enzymes that block foreign substances from getting into your bloodstream.
A landmark 1998 study found that piperine can increase curcumin absorption by 20 times more than raw turmeric, often cited as ‘2,000%’.
But black pepper has drawbacks. It works only for a short time, creating a 1-2 hour window for curcumin to be absorbed. It has to be taken with food to be effective, can cause gut discomfort at higher doses, and can interfere with the absorption of prescription medications.
Turmeric+ has a smarter, safer solution. The Meriva® phytosome ‘wraps’ curcumin in soy lecithin, a healthy fat molecule, so that curcumin can be naturally absorbed by the gut in the same way that we absorb it from food.
Meriva® has been shown by studies to increase curcumin absorption by 30 times more than raw turmeric – higher than black pepper, with a slow, sustained release that remains active in the body for up to 24 hours, giving you gentle, all-day joint comfort from a single daily dose.

When will I feel the benefits?
After 12 weeks of taking Turmeric+ daily, 93% of users reported feeling benefits for joint comfort, with 44% noticing improvements within 2-4 weeks.

Is Turmeric+ right for you?
Turmeric+ is for anyone looking to support their joints, muscles and bones and stay active – especially if:
- You’ve tried turmeric before and felt no difference – Turmeric+ sets the standard for curcumin absorption
- Joint comfort and mobility matter to you, whether for everyday life, exercise or sport
- You want a formulation backed by actual clinical research – 48 human studies, not marketing claims – and real user results (98% saw improved joint comfort in our 2025 survey)
- You are an athlete or active person who needs Informed Sport certified supplements
- You follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and want a plant-based formulation
"We use the world's most researched bioavailable curcumin, Meriva®, for its proven benefits in many health areas, including joint support."

Ingredient highlights

Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been valued in traditional medicine for thousands of years – but it has a major drawback: the body absorbs very little of it from ordinary turmeric.
Meriva® solves this by binding curcumin to phospholipids to create a 'phytosome' – a structure that mimics the natural way the body absorbs nutrients in food – making it 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric. This makes a more effective alternative to black pepper, maintaining curcumin levels in the body for up to 24 hours.
Meriva® delivers the full spectrum of curcuminoids, including demethoxycurcumin (DMC), one of the most active. It's the most scientifically researched bioavailable curcumin formulation in the world, documented in 48 human studies involving over 2,600 people across 10 different health areas.

Turmeric+ includes 20mg of vitamin C (25% NRV). Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage – an ideal partner to curcumin for supporting joint health.
Cartilage is the connective tissue that cushions your joints, and collagen is one of its key structural components, directly relevant to staying active and mobile.

Turmeric+ also provides 1.25µg (micrograms) of vitamin D3 (25% NRV) from a vegan source.
Known as the 'sunshine vitamin', vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the maintenance of normal muscle function – both essential for mobility and an active lifestyle, and both areas where many people in the UK fall short, particularly in the winter
months.
If you would like a higher level of vitamin D, Turmeric+ Gold provides 5µg (100% NRV).

FAQs
What is the difference between Turmeric+ and Turmeric+ Gold?
Both Turmeric+ and Turmeric+ Gold use Meriva® – a patented curcumin phytosome 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric – and both provide 100mg of curcumin in each dose. The differences are in format and formulation:
Turmeric+ is a tablet, contains 1.25µg of vitamin D, and includes soy lecithin as part of the Meriva® phytosome – and is not suitable for those with soy allergies.
Turmeric+ Gold is a capsule, contains a higher level of vitamin D (5µg), and is formulated without soy – making it suitable for those with soy allergies, and easy to swallow.
Both contain 20mg vitamin C (25% NRV) and are vegan and gluten-free.
If you have a soy allergy or prefer a capsule with more vitamin D, choose Turmeric+ Gold; otherwise Turmeric+ offers the same clinically researched and highly effective Meriva® curcumin in tablet form.
Does Turmeric+ contain soy?
Yes. Turmeric+ contains soy lecithin as part of its Meriva® Curcuma Phospholipid Complex. The soy lecithin is what binds to the curcumin to create the phytosome structure that makes it 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric – it is integral to how the supplement works.
Turmeric+ is therefore not suitable for those with soy allergies. If you have a soy allergy, Turmeric+ Gold offers the same Meriva® curcumin benefits in a soy-free formulation.
Why doesn’t Turmeric+ contain black pepper (piperine)?
Black pepper extract, rich in piperine, is commonly added to turmeric supplements to improve the absorption of curcumin, turmeric’s active ingredient. However, piperine has drawbacks. It works only briefly, creating a short 1-2 hour window for the curcumin to be absorbed. It also needs to be taken with food to be effective, can lead to gut discomfort, and can interfere with the absorption of prescription medications.
Turmeric+ is a smarter, safer solution. We use Meriva®, a phospholipid complex which ‘wraps’ curcumin inside sunflower lecithin, a healthy fat molecule. This allows the fat-soluble curcumin to be naturally absorbed by the gut in the same way that we absorb it from food and how it’s been used in Indian cuisine and medicine for centuries.
Meriva® has been shown by studies to increase curcumin absorption by 30 times more than raw turmeric – much higher than black pepper. It also delivers a slow, sustained release that remains active in the body for up to 24 hours, giving you gentle, all-day joint comfort from a single daily dose.
What is Meriva® and why is it more absorbable?
Meriva® is a patented curcumin phytosome. Curcumin – the active compound in turmeric – is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb on its own. Meriva® solves this by binding curcumin to phospholipids (from soy lecithin) to create a 'phytosome', which mimics the natural way the body absorbs nutrients from food.
This makes Meriva® 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric powder, and a more effective alternative to black pepper (piperine). Meriva® also delivers the full spectrum of curcuminoids, including demethoxycurcumin (DMC) – the most potent. It is the most scientifically researched curcumin formulation in the world.
What are the benefits of Turmeric+?
Turmeric+ is formulated to support joint, muscle and bone health, helping you stay active and mobile. It uses Meriva® curcumin – the subject of 48 human studies involving over 2,000 people across 10 different health areas.
In our 2025 user survey, 98% experienced an improvement in joint comfort, 86% reported improved sports or exercise performance, 82% reported a positive difference to their joint health, and 77% said it improved their overall wellbeing and quality of life.
Turmeric+ also includes vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, and vitamin D, which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. The Meriva® formulation maintains curcumin levels for up to 24 hours.
What results do Turmeric+ users report?
In our 2025 Turmeric+ user survey, the results were overwhelmingly positive. 98% of users experienced an improvement in joint comfort. 86% reported an improvement in their sports or exercise performance. 82% reported a positive difference to their joint health. And 77% said Turmeric+ had improved their overall wellbeing and quality of life.
These results reflect the experience of real customers taking Turmeric+ with its highly absorbable Meriva® curcumin formulation.
How many Turmeric+ tablets should I take, and when?
Take one or two tablets per day, in the evening, with or without food. Taking it in the evening supports the body's overnight recovery processes. The Meriva® formulation is designed to maintain curcumin levels for up to 24 hours, so consistent daily use provides ongoing support for the tissues that need it.
How quickly do Turmeric+ users notice a difference?
In our 2025 user survey, benefits came sooner than many people expect. 44% of users noticed improvements within 2-4 weeks, 39% within 5-8 weeks, and 10% within 9-12 weeks. This means 83% of users noticed a difference within 8 weeks, and 93% within 12 weeks.
Curcumin works gradually and builds with consistent daily use, so we recommend taking Turmeric+ every day and giving it a full 12 weeks to experience the benefit.
Is Turmeric+ suitable for vegans?
Yes. Turmeric+ is vegan and vegetarian. It uses a vegan vitamin D3 preparation (lichen-derived cholecalciferol), and the full formulation is gluten-free and lactose-free. Please note it does contain soy lecithin (as part of the Meriva® phytosome), so it is not suitable for those with soy allergies, though it is suitable for vegans.
Are there any reasons not to take Turmeric+?
Due to possible stimulation of bile secretion, curcumin is not recommended for those with obstruction of the bile duct, cholangitis, liver diseases, gallstones or any other biliary diseases.
As with all supplements, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medication or are under medical supervision, please consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking Turmeric+. It also contains soy and is not suitable for those with soy allergies.
Is Turmeric+ Informed Sport certified?
Yes. Turmeric+ is Informed Sport certified - officially recognised by Informed Sport, an international body that ensures supplements are produced to a high standard and third-party tested so they can be used in professional sport. This gives athletes and active people confidence that the product meets rigorous quality and safety standards.
