What are curcuminoids?Updated 3 months ago

Curcuminoids are a group of compounds derived from turmeric (Curcuma longa), including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. They are the active components that give turmeric its characteristic yellow-orange color and are often used in supplements and food coloring.

Curcuminoids dissolve in organic solvents but have poor solubility in water and lipids, which can limit their absorption in the body.
