Optimized Curcumin with Neurophenol
Douglas Laboratories
Overview
This product features two trademarked ingredients, Longvida® Optimized Curcumin and Neurophenol®, which are designed for enhanced bioavailability and targeted benefits. Longvida® has strong evidence for anti-inflammatory effects and pain reduction, with clinical dosing provided. Neurophenol®, a proprietary blend of blueberry and grape extracts, shows promise for cognitive improvements, but specific dosages of its individual components (flavonoids, anthocyanins, resveratrol) within the blend are not fully disclosed, making a precise assessment of their combined efficacy challenging. The overall effectiveness is supported by the quality of the key ingredients, though the proprietary nature of Neurophenol limits full analysis.
The Good
Features Longvida® Optimized Curcumin, a highly bioavailable and well-researched form of curcumin with strong evidence for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-reducing effects.
Includes Neurophenol®, a proprietary blend of blueberry and grape extracts, supported by research for cognitive enhancement, particularly memory and executive functions.
Key ingredients like curcumin, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and resveratrol are known for their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, supporting overall brain health.
The Bad
The Neurophenol® blend is proprietary, meaning the exact amounts of each beneficial compound (flavonoids, flavan-3-ols, phenolic acids, anthocyanins, resveratrol, grape extract, wild blueberry extract) within the 300 mg blend are not disclosed, hindering full efficacy assessment.
Potential for drug interactions, especially with anticoagulants or blood thinners, due to curcumin and other polyphenols, requiring caution and professional consultation.
Some cognitive benefits from polyphenol blends, while statistically significant, are often reported as small or modest in effect size.
