Yes.
In addition to the wider body of turmeric and curcumin research, The Turmeric Co. has invested in independent studies evaluating its own formulations in real-world settings, including elite sporting environments.
We believe healthcare professionals should have access to evidence relating not only to ingredients, but also to the products being recommended.
Ingredient research investigates compounds, such as curcumin, in isolation. Product research evaluates the finished formulation being used by consumers or patients.
Both forms of evidence are valuable and provide different insights.
Current evidence is generally strongest in:
Research continues to evolve in all areas.
Study durations vary considerably.
Many studies reporting positive outcomes have involved supplementation periods of 4–12 weeks, although some recovery-focused studies have demonstrated benefits over shorter timeframes.
Yes.
Isolated curcumin is known to have relatively low bioavailability. Factors including delivery format, absorption-enhancing ingredients and formulation design may influence outcomes.
Healthcare professionals should consider both the ingredient and the formulation when evaluating products.
The liquid format forms part of our wider formulation strategy and provides a convenient option that many individuals find easy to incorporate into their daily routines.
Adherence is often an important consideration when evaluating any nutritional intervention.
Based on independently conducted studies, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, we recommend consuming 1-2 of our turmeric shots per day.

Can curcumin interact with medications?
Even though our shots are natural beverages, made by juicing whole food ingredients, and we therefore anticipate that risks of medication interactions and adverse reactions are low (particularly compared to high doses of concentrated curcumin extracts), we would err on the side of caution and advise those taking medications to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
Here is an NHS resource on turmeric: https://www.wmic.wales.nhs.uk/turmeric-potential-interactions/ Some of the main potential interactions are summarised below:
Given that turmeric may interfere with blood clotting, caution is required when turmeric is taken with anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin and clopidogrel.
Given that turmeric may reduce blood sugar, those taking medications that reduce blood sugar should be wary of hypoglycaemia.
High doses of curcumin (2g/day) may increase blood levels of sulfasalazine.
Animal studies suggest the turmeric could increase blood levels of statins – monitor for statin side effects like muscle weakness or pain.
Healthcare professionals should assess individual circumstances and consult relevant clinical resources where appropriate.
