Frequently Asked Questions

What is UltraCur®?
UltraCur® is a highly-bioavailable curcumin supplement designed to support whole-body wellness, including joint, heart, brain, and immune system health.* It features a protein-curcumin complex made with advanced ProtiSorb™ technology to help address one of curcumin's biggest challenges – poor absorption.*
What is curcumin?
Curcumin is the best-known active compound found in the turmeric root (plant). Curcumin is widely studied for its role in supporting antioxidant activity, healthy inflammatory balance, and overall cellular wellness.*
Why is curcumin so difficult to absorb?
Curcumin is naturally hard for the body to absorb because it does not dissolve well in water. Standard curcumin products may pass through the digestive system with limited absorption. UltraCur® was designed to help solve this challenge by binding curcumin to a protein scaffold that supports better dispersion and assimilation into the body.*
What makes UltraCur® different from regular turmeric or curcumin?
UltraCur® is not just ordinary turmeric powder, nor is it ordinary curcumin powder – neither of which absorb well. UltraCur® features a proprietary protein-curcumin complex designed to help the curcumin absorb and assimilate into the cells more efficiently.* The big question is how much curcumin actually arrives to your cells as curcumin support.*
What is ProtiSorb™ technology?
ProtiSorb™ is UltraBotanica's patented delivery technology which binds curcumin to a highly soluble protein scaffold. This helps carry curcumin through the digestive environment and supports faster, more effective absorption.*
Why does UltraCur® use whey protein isolate?
UltraCur® uses all-natural whey protein isolate as the protein scaffold. This helps bind and carry the curcumin, supporting improved absorption and assimilation.* If you are allergic or sensitive to dairy or whey protein, consider our Organic UltraCur®, which utilizes brown rice as the protein scaffold.
What body systems does UltraCur® support?
UltraCur® is designed to support:
  • Joint and muscle comfort*
  • Heart health*
  • Brain health*
  • Immune system health*
  • Antioxidant activity*
  • Healthy inflammatory balance*
  • Whole-body wellness*
Is UltraCur® intended for joint support?
Yes. UltraCur® may be used to support joint and connective tissue comfort, especially when used as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes movement, hydration, strength support, and balanced nutrition.*
How long does it take to notice benefits?
Everyone responds differently. Some people may notice beneficial support quickly, as soon as 20 minutes, while others may use UltraCur® consistently for several weeks as part of their daily wellness routine. For best results, use consistently as directed.
Does UltraCur® contain black pepper or piperine?
No. UltraCur® relies on ProtiSorb™ technology for enhanced absorption, not black pepper or piperine. This appeals to those who prefer to avoid piperine in supplements.
Who should talk to a healthcare practitioner before taking UltraCur®?
Talk to your healthcare practitioner before using UltraCur® if you:
  • Take any blood-thinning medications
  • Take medication for blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol
  • Are pregnant or nursing
  • Have gallbladder concerns or bile duct obstruction
  • Are scheduled for surgery
  • Have a known allergy or sensitivity to turmeric, curcumin, or whey protein
  • Are under medical treatment for any health condition
What is the main reason to choose UltraCur®?
UltraCur® is designed for people who want the benefits of curcumin in a form that helps address curcumin's natural shortcoming – that is, its absorption challenges. ProtiSorb™ absorption technology supports improved bioavailability and whole-body wellness.*
Can UltraCur® support healthy aging?
Yes. Curcumin is commonly used in wellness routines because it supports antioxidant defenses, cellular resilience, and healthy inflammatory balance — all of which are important for healthy aging.*
How many capsules should I take?
Follow the directions on the product label or use as directed by your healthcare professional. Many customers use 1 to 2 capsules daily, depending on their wellness goals and practitioner guidance.*
Should I take UltraCur® with food?
UltraCur® may be taken as directed on the label. Many people prefer to take their supplements with food, and mealtime acts as a great reminder to take your supplements.
Is UltraCur® the same as turmeric?
No. Turmeric is the whole root or spice. Curcumin is the major active compound found in the turmeric plant. UltraCur® is a specialized curcumin product designed for enhanced absorption, not a culinary turmeric powder.
Is UltraCur® safe to use every day?
UltraCur® is intended for daily wellness support when used as directed. However, consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, preparing for surgery, or managing a medical condition.
Can I take UltraCur® with other supplements?
UltraCur® may fit well into many wellness routines, but it is best to check with your healthcare practitioner if you take multiple supplements or medications.

What sizes does UltraCur® come in?
