🌿 Hydrocurcumins – Colorless Curcumin Derivative for Enhanced Antioxidant Protection
Hydrocurcumins, a colorless hydrogenated product derived from the yellow curcumins, (the biologically active principles from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa), function as efficient antioxidant compounds. Hydrocurcumins exhibit many of the same physiologic and pharmacological activities as curcumins and in some systems may exert greater antioxidant activity than curcumins.The superior antioxidant property of Hydrocurcumins, combined with the lack of yellow color, render this product useful in achromatic food and cosmetic applications that currently employ conventional synthetic antioxidants .
🧬 Product Overview
Hydrocurcumins are colorless hydrogenated derivatives of curcuminoids—the biologically active compounds extracted from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric).
They offer strong antioxidant activity comparable to or greater than curcumin, yet without the intense yellow color.
This unique feature makes hydrocurcumins ideal for color-sensitive formulations in food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
