Nature's Bounty Turmeric 450mg Capsules 60 Count - Herbal Supplement

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used as a culinary and medicinal herb in India for centuries. The plant's active compounds — a group of polyphenolic flavonoids collectively called curcuminoids — are plant-based antioxidants that have attracted significant research interest for their role in neutralizing free radicals in the body.* Nature's Bounty Turmeric 450 mg Capsules provide a dual-component formula: 450 mg of whole turmeric root per capsule, plus an additional 50 mg of standardized turmeric extract that has been concentrated to contain 95% curcuminoids — the most biologically active fraction of the turmeric plant. The combination of whole root and standardized extract delivers both the broad spectrum of turmeric's naturally occurring compounds and a guaranteed potency of its key active constituents in a single daily capsule.

Who This Is For

• Adults looking to supplement their diet with turmeric as part of a wellness routine focused on antioxidant support*
• Anyone who uses turmeric in cooking but wants a more consistent and concentrated daily dose through supplementation
• People interested in the antioxidant properties of curcuminoids who want a standardized extract with a guaranteed 95% curcuminoid concentration rather than a non-standardized powder of variable potency
• Adults who prefer a capsule format over turmeric powder, golden milk preparations, or other delivery methods for daily supplementation

Key Features

• Dual-Component Formula — Whole Root Plus Standardized Extract: Each capsule contains two turmeric ingredients that serve complementary roles. The 450 mg of whole turmeric root (Curcuma longa) provides the full spectrum of turmeric's naturally occurring compounds as they appear in the plant — not isolated or concentrated. The additional 50 mg of standardized turmeric extract provides a guaranteed concentration of 95% curcuminoids — the polyphenolic compounds identified as turmeric's primary biologically active components. The dual approach delivers breadth from the whole root and potency consistency from the standardized extract in a single capsule.*
• 95% Curcuminoid Standardization — Guaranteed Potency: Non-standardized turmeric powders contain variable curcuminoid concentrations — typically 2–5% of the whole root powder by weight — meaning the actual curcuminoid content per capsule can vary significantly between batches. The standardized extract component of this formula guarantees that 95% of the extract fraction is curcuminoids, providing consistent, predictable potency with every capsule. This standardization is the key quality distinction between a standardized herbal extract and a simple ground herb powder.*
• Antioxidant Support — Curcuminoids as Plant-Based Antioxidants:* Curcuminoids are classified as plant-based antioxidants — compounds that can help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules generated through normal metabolic processes and through environmental exposure. Antioxidants provide electrons to stabilize free radicals, interrupting the chain reaction of oxidative damage that free radicals can otherwise initiate in cellular components. Turmeric supplementation is one commonly used approach to increasing daily dietary antioxidant intake beyond what food sources provide.*
• Non-GMO, Free of Common Allergens and Additives: The capsules contain no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. Free of sugar, starch, milk, lactose, soy, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, and sodium. Non-GMO. Laboratory tested for purity and potency. Made in the USA by Nature's Bounty — one of the most established supplement manufacturers in the country with over 50 years of production history.
• Capsules Can Be Opened for Tea Preparation: The capsules may be opened and the contents dissolved in hot water to prepare as an herbal tea — an option for users who prefer not to swallow capsules or who want to blend turmeric into beverages.

A Note on Turmeric and Absorption

Curcuminoids have relatively low bioavailability when taken alone — they are absorbed poorly from the gastrointestinal tract in their free form. Research has shown that taking turmeric with a meal (particularly one containing fat) and with black pepper extract (piperine) can meaningfully improve curcuminoid absorption. This formula does not include black pepper extract — for users specifically seeking enhanced absorption, Nature's Bounty also offers a higher-dose Turmeric with Black Pepper Extract formula. Taking this product with a meal as directed will provide better absorption than taking it on an empty stomach.

Important Note on Gelatin Capsules

The capsule shell is made from bovine gelatin — this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Users seeking a plant-based capsule alternative should look for a turmeric supplement in vegetable cellulose (HPMC) capsules.
