Why aren't these enteric coated? This way the curcumin will get past our indigestion acids AND will be absorbed in our blood stream as it should?

Hi, I do not swallow the capsules. I open the capsules and mix the curcumin powder from the capsules in some whole milk and I drink with a straw. Delicious. This way it gets absorbed immediately into your blood stream. :-)

It can be absorbed into your body and surround your body at the same time I prefer to put mine under my tongue. For many animals I just put some in their water bowl unless it's an emergency and I try to put it on something that they will eat or drink. They are fast acting but may take several doses to get your desired intention to hold Google flower essences mother nature's magic remedies. You will be amazed.

In addition to other replies, also note that this capsule is not enteric coated, thus most of the organisms will be killed in your GI tract (gut).

I am taking circumin 300 mg. Forgot to take them until you reminded me. Label doesn't show pepper, use to take turmeric force, but ran out and don't have the package so don't know. Ask the mfg.

These capsules are package in gelatin so one can take it without tasting the herbs inside. Also capsules allow the swift passage down esophagus into stomach and then through the intestines where it begins working to clear toxins and backed up undigested foodstuff. Please take it as directed on label.

Wow, I don't know. Perhaps the manufacturer could best answer this question. I am thinking a bit of the powder just seeped out of the capsules but better get it from the 'horses mouth'.

because like most supplements, it is more fully absorbed when taken with food. You will not be receiving the full benefits of this supplement by taking it on an empty or near empty stomach...and thereby would be wasting some of the money that you spent on it.

Even with bioperine the molecules of curcumin are too large for good absorption. And while good, this product is more expensive than other products that use the trademark Longvida curcumin. I had to take twice the dosage in order to get any benefit. Since I posted my review, a curcumin product has come on the market called Theracurmin which in human and animal studies has the highest bioavailability of any curcumin with a cost that is 1/3 the cost of this Nutriven product. I have not tried this new product and cannot attest to how well it works. I found a b vitamin extract called PQQ that addressed all of the problems I was seeking to correct with Curcumin.

They aren't enteric coated, but from what I've read that's a good thing as they have the tendency to pass through undissolved. There is 300mg in each pill, 250mg is EPA+DHA (likely 166mg EPA, 83mg DHA) and 50mg other omega 3 fatty acids.

They are regular capsules so not coated. I find them to be a bit larger than a lot of capsules I take.

Enteric coatings (for timed release) actually end up harming the potency of probiotics, since the coating attacts moisture, which interferes with the shelf life. Also, if you perform a google search on what enteric coatings are actually made of, you might change your mind about buying ANY products containing them. They may be potentially causing other problems in the body. For best results, put the bottle of probiotics in the refrigerator as soon as it arrives and that helps prolong shelf life. Take the capsule with a meal containing some fat. The presence of food actually lowers the pH level in the stomach, and studies have shown that fat helps to further protect many probiotic strains while in the stomach. For example, a meal containing 1% milk with cooked oatmeal showed significantly higher survival numbers for many strains passing into the gut than vs. just plain water or juice alone. Many brands (including NOW Foods) suggest taking capsules on an empty stomach or between meals. But this is when stomach acid is at its all-time highest, which will obviously destroy more of the probiotics. It is unclear why they suggest the empty stomach approach. Perhaps they mean "immediately right before a meal"... Also, something that is very important to the whole concept of maximizing survival numbers is HOW a manufacturer states the potency guaranteed on the bottle. If it is guaranteed "at the time of manufacture", that is a big red flag, as the level of healthy surviving bacteria after some amount of time will be significantly less than indicated in the Nutritional Facts. So, be sure to look for guarantees of potency "through the expiration date", meaning, the manufacturer has likely added extra microorganisms at production, to account for some of them inevitably dying off over time.

Yes, I think they are. They say they can be taken on an empty stomach. Just to be safe though I like to have them with food. Take a few bites, swallow them, then finish your food. That way they're coated & they also absorb better nutritionally because your body thinks theyre real food. I really like these multivitamins a lot & have bought them for years now.

It has been compared. I posted a link below. dr Trutt has 2 blogs on Curcumin.

The information on the packaging does not indicate an enteric coating but I have taken this supplement for months and have not experienced any aftertaste or 'fish burps'

Great question! I have been taking this product for a couple years now. I am very sensitive to garlic type of reflux. I can only tell you that there is no upset or taste from this if I limit this to one tablet in the morning and one in the evening. This is the only supplement I can say that about - I highly recommend it, I have tried most of them - it does what it says - the coating is very effective.

These tablets are NOT coated. They are oblong in shape. I have no problem swallowing a handful of pills, but if you have trouble swallowing pills, this product might be an issue for you.
