Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric, known for its striking yellow color and versatile applications. Supplements use curcumin because it's easy to get a high dose, which is difficult to achieve with the spice alone.
But not all curcumin supplements are equally effective. This often has to do with the dosage and the combination of active ingredients used.
The Curcumin C3 complex® is among the best on the market. In this article, I'll explain why this turmeric extract is so special.
The Curcumin C3 complex® guarantees at least 95% curcuminoids with every batch, for consistent and reliable quality.
This extract has been extensively scientifically researched and is much better absorbed by the body thanks to BioPerine® from black pepper.
Sabinsa combines centuries-old turmeric knowledge with modern science and sustainable production for a high-quality and safe supplement.

What is curcumin?
Curcumin is a natural substance found in the root of the turmeric plant, a spice widely used in Indian cuisine.
Besides its use as a flavoring, turmeric has been valued for hundreds of years in traditional diets and lifestyles, such as Ayurveda, where it plays an important role in daily life.
What is the Curcumin C3 complex?
The Curcumin C3 complex® is a special turmeric extract made from the turmeric root (Curcuma longa).
It contains three main active ingredients, which together are called curcuminoids :
- Curcumin
- Demethoxycurcumin (DMC)
- Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC)
These substances together give turmeric its characteristic properties.
These are the unique benefits of the Curcumin C3 complex
These are the unique benefits compared to other curcumin supplements:
1. Always the same high quality
With Curcumin C3 Complex®, you know exactly what you're getting. Each batch contains at least 95% curcuminoids. This makes it consistent and reliable .
With other turmeric extracts, the quantity can sometimes vary, which affects the quality. This isn't a problem here.
2. Reliable and scientifically tested
This extract has been thoroughly researched in scientific studies, which show that Curcumin C3 Complex® is a product you can trust. (1) (2) (3)
3. Better absorbed with BioPerine®
Turmeric itself is difficult for the body to absorb. Therefore, Curcumin C3 Complex® is often combined with BioPerine® , a substance derived from black pepper.
Research shows that BioPerine® significantly enhances the absorption of curcumin, making it better absorbed than regular turmeric extracts. (4) (5) (6).
A handy way to get more out of your turmeric supplement.

How does the Curcumin C3 complex work?
Curcumin C3 Complex® contains antioxidants, such as curcumin, that tackle free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable particles that form in your body, for example, due to polluted air, stress, or simply your daily metabolism. If these particles accumulate, they can damage your cells.
Curcumin has antioxidant properties*, making it a smart choice for those looking to add turmeric to a healthy lifestyle. (7)
