Fortifeye Next Gen Curcumin Fueled by Curcugen (30 Capsules)
The Fortifeye team of doctors have been researching and looking for the best curcumin supplement for many years. They have used many different brands over the years and have found that the absorption is very poor on tumeric and curcumin supplements. To enhance the absorption properties many synthetic agents are often added or ingredients that have potential long term health risks associated with them. Fortifeye Vitamins wanted a curcumin that was as natural as they come with clinical studies to prove the superior absorption properties. In their quest for the best curcumin supplement, they were introduced to the newest curcumin on the market called Curcugen. They did a small pilot study with a gummy and capsule containing Curcugen and were impressed enough to select Curcugen as their curcumin of choice. Fortifeye Next Gen Curcumin was born. This next generation curcumin comes in a delicious gummy or a capsule.
Curcugen™ is a clean, highly concentrated, clinically-studied curcumin ingredient, fully derived from a turmeric base with a high, 50% curcuminoid concentration.
It is derived from turmeric oleoresin as base ingredient with a more comprehensive profile of turmeric bioactives than the industry- standard starting material, 95% curcuminoids.
The oleoresin is the native matrix where turmeric’s curcuminoids, essential oils and resins are found, which support its unique characteristics as a food and health ingredient.
The Curcugen™ oleoresin is optimized by the patent-pending SELFD™ platform technology. In this unique format, the natural ratio of curcuminoids is maintained, its beneficial essential oils are retained, and otherwise discarded resins are made functional. The functional resins in Curcugen™ add significant value to the ingredient, enhancing the bioavailability and dispersion properties.
This unique technology enhances free curcumin’s bioavailability 39 fold, delivers a self-dispersion profile for easy and versatile delivery options, and provides a sustained release mechanism for efficient dosing.
.Curcugen® is a dispersible, 98.5% turmeric-based curcuminoids formula, 39-times bioavailability-enhanced to improve plasma absorption and clinical efficacy. A next generation curcuminoids formula, Curcugen® is synergized by numerous turmeric-native actives, is food and beverage friendly, has a self-affirmed GRAS assessment, and is uniformly compliant to meet regulatory standards in markets across the globe.
Curcuminoids, turmeric essential oils and resins are naturally housed within the turmeric oleoresin. They are exclusively represented in Curcugen® and complemented by a diverse spectrum of other turmeric native compounds. Curcugen’s full-spectrum profile benefits from the strategic and patent-protected application of safe, food-grade solvents and precipitants.
Curcugen® is the only oleoresin-sourced turmeric active on the market to generate its absorption benefit from the dispersion power found in a previously ignored turmeric native – ‘polar’ resins.
Curcugen® uniquely delivers the same ratio of curcuminoid analogues – curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) – as found in the turmeric rhizome in its food state, or as its primary derivative, the oleoresin. While Curcugen® is concentrated to a 50% standard of curcuminoids, it is not hyper-purified, as is common with other curcuminoid formulations. Therein, Curcugen® retains a closely matched ratio of these cousin-molecules to what is natural, and found most familiarly in food.
In an 18-subject, cross-over pharmacokinetics study over 24-hours, Curcugen®, at 2000 mg of curcuminoids equivalents enhanced FREE-curcumin bioavailability by 39X that of placebo, and proved 52.5-times more bioavailable for Total Curcuminoids than standardized curcumin 95% (C-95).
Curcugen® is one of the first curcuminoids formulas to prove an increase in the bioavailability of endogenously-produced tetrahydrocurcumin (THC). THC is thought to be a more potent antioxidant than curcumin, although curcuminoid analogues appear to still offer more potent inflammatory signal modulation than THC. Curcugen® enhanced total THC bioavailability by 31X over C-95.
Curcugen’s efficacy is backed by several, published clinical studies in the dosage range of 500 – 1000 mg/day. The Curcugen study portfolio will continue to grow with additional clinical studies underway or in active peer review. Please contact our team for periodic updates.

14 Jul 2021 — DolCas Biotech’s latest pharmacokinetic data reveals its natural native curcumin extract has a 39-fold enhanced bioavailability capability compared to conventional curcuminoids.
The 17-subject randomized, crossover study published in Medicine evaluated the dispersible Curcugen, a 98.5 percent native turmeric (50 percent curcuminoid concentrate) formulation, against conventionally extracted C-95 (a 95 percent curcuminoid extract) to determine the degree of enhanced absorption by the patented brand.
“In understanding the nuances of the curcumin market, we were aware that investigations measuring curcuminoids absorption in the plasma were incomplete,” Dr. Shavon Jackson-Michel, the director of medical and scientific affairs at Dolcas Biotech, tells NutritionInsight.
“To establish a baseline to compare with other brands commercially and to comprehensively evaluate Curcugen’s formulation benefits, we sought a study design that was inclusive of all of these parameters,” she adds.
Absorption explained
These latest findings build on prior investigations, which found that enhanced free curcumin is directly linked to the compound’s ability to bypass the resistance that unformulated curcuminoids encounter when entering the bloodstream and target tissues.
Free curcumin analysis is a direct measurement of the proportion of curcumin ingested that is absorbed across the intestinal barrier and found intact in the plasma.
“There are bioavailability-enhanced curcumin extracts that contain synthetic bio-enhancers that may be regulated and acceptable in the pharma industry but not received as well in the natural foods space,” Jackson-Michel explains.
“There are a greater majority of curcuminoid extracts that contain natural but non-native bio-enhancers which often contribute to more than half of the formulations’ composition,” she says.
“Curcugen’s offering of a 98.5 percent turmeric native composition is showing the dual benefit of having real fidelity to the turmeric rhizome while simultaneously being bioavailable and effective at moderate doses,” she adds.
Natural curcumin extract
Curcugen (the 98.5 percent turmeric-based curcuminoids formula) takes a more natural method to enhance the absorption of curcuminoids.
In concentrating curcuminoids to a 50 percent standard, Curcugen co-extracts turmeric-native resins that are polar and offers the patented “Self-D” bioenhancer-like benefits that facilitate dispersibility.
Curcugen, with its 98.5 percent turmeric-derived base, also prioritizes the presence of other turmeric natives, like polysaccharides and essential oils.
Through enhancement of the brand’s dispersion characteristics, these contribute additional value to both bioavailability and bioactivity.
“We believe there will be many benefits attributed to our natural curcumin extract, including safety benefits as well as efficacy benefits. We have already shown clinical benefits in gut health, as well as mood-related benefits associated with improved gut health,” Jackson-Michel states.
“Curcugen’s natural curcuminoids profile paralleling the native ratio of curcumin, DMC (demethoxycurcumin) and BDMC (bisdemethoxycurcumin) in turmeric root has also proven to have a high safety profile, both in acute and chronic, repeat dose usage,” she notes.
Curcumin ingredient on the rise
Curcugen was previously found to reduce self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms like reflux, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation.
To add to this, curcumin’s anti-inflammatory pathway may boost both mood and digestive health through the gut-brain axis, according to prior DolCas research.
Meanwhile, a new animal study in India shows that Akay Natural Ingredients’ patented curcumin ingredient can cross the blood-brain barrier and locate which parts of the brain free-form curcuminoids reach.
Moreover, spiceuticals from curcumin, ginger and frankincense are positioned against inflammation.
“We have shown health benefits associated with exercise-induced inflammation and joint health using Curcugen,” Dr. Jackson-Michel explains.

Q: What is meant by next-GENeration curcumin®?
A: The ‘next-GENeration’ label is being given to Curcugen® because of its unique sourcing material and food-state matrix i.e.oleoresin, the novel technology used to extract high levels of curcuminoids from this starting material while maintaining a diverse spectrum of other turmeric constituents, and the versatility of its formulation across the dietary supplement, food and beverage industry. Further, this term obliges the highest of industry standards of substantiation, by taking up a comprehensive safety and clinical research program.
Q: What is Curcugen’s® composition?
A: Curcugen® is 98.5% turmeric-oleoresin derived, is standardized to 50% curcuminoids and contains both turmeric essential oils and ‘polar’ turmeric resins.Further, it contains 1.5% of a flow agent.
Q: What are ‘polar’ resins?
A: Turmeric oleoresins include resins that polar and non-polar in character. The Self-D™ technology is able to capture the polar resins, meaning those with an electrical charge. The benefit of the polar resins, which are novel to the Curcugen® brand, is that when they are complexed with curcuminoids, they attract water toward the molecule, overcoming curcumin’s natural hydrophobicity. In a fluid medium the matrix is activated allowing for a slow release function and a dispersing quality.
Q: How is Curcugen® different than turmeric oleoresin?
A: Curcugen® is an optimized turmeric oleoresin extract. Through the Self-D technology, the more ‘polar’ resins are retained, along with some essential oils; they are complexed with curcuminoids, which are enriched to a 50% standard. Turmeric oleoresin itself contains resins in their natural form, not optimized for bioavailability and curcuminoids in a much smaller concentration.
Q: How is Curcugen® different than 95% curcuminoids?
A: 95% curcuminoids are derived from turmeric oleoresin. 95% curcuminoids are a purified form of the oleoresin, whereby the essential oils and resins are lost during manufacturing. Again, Curcugen® retains both essential oils and the more ‘functional’ resins, while maintaining a significantly substantial concentration of curcuminoids, at a 50% standard.
Q: How many more times bioavailable is Curcugen® than unformulated curcumin?
A: Curcugen® is 39-times more bioavailable than unformulated/95%-curcuminoids, as demonstrated by a 18-subject cross-over designed study.
Q: What is the clinical dose for Curcugen®?
A: The clinical dose for Curcugen® is between 500-1000 mg per day.
Q: Is Curcugen® a clinically-studied ingredient?
A: Yes. Curcugen® is being evaluated clinically. A pharmacokinetics/bioavailability study and (3) clinical studies have already been initiated on the ingredient. See the ‘Clinical Research’ tab on Curcugen’s product page for additional information.
Q: Is Curcugen® safe?
A. Yes. Curcugen® has been proven to be safe according to OECD Safety testing. The acute toxicity study resulted in a LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg and the sub-chronic, repeat dose, 90-day toxicity study has confirmed safety in an animal model at > 2000 mg/kg/day. See the ‘Safety’ tab on Curcugen’s product page for additional information.
Q: Is Curcugen® GRAS?
A. Curcugen has been deemed GRAS (self-affirmed) by an expert panel and has been fully evaluated for safety, the results of which have been published and align to global standards.
Q; Is Curcugen® dispersible in water?
A. Yes. Curcugen® is water-dispersible. However, it is not water-soluble.

Wow, I was surfing the web for a curcumin product and came across Fortifeye. I read the testimonials and the science and figured I would try it too. The first few weeks didn’t notice any improvement at all. However, week 3 I was able to run a 5 k for the first time with no knee pain in five years. I have been on this Next Gen Curcumin for about six months now and I won’t stop it. This is the first non-prescription supplement I have tried that has worked on my knee pain.

I deal with severe vertigo and always hope the last one was, my last one. After coming out of the last episodes, my eyes felt like they were vibrating/quivering if you will. I couldn’t be on the computer or phone for more that 5 minutes with the blue light filter on, light turned down as low as it could go before being off and wearing blue blocker glasses. TV had to be in black & white and also brightness turned down. Drapes always had to shut because of the brightness. Dr. Lange has been my ophthalmologist for years and I finally asked him about it at my appointment. He suggested to try this to see if it would help with any possible swelling plus it would help with any aches and pains I might be dealing with. I wasted no time and took it on the way home from his office. I was desperate! Obviously nothing different that night but the next morning upon waking up, I noticed it was gone! I thought it was “coincidence” & “it can’t be, I only took one pill”! Keep taking it. A week later, I felt even better than the first day. He was right, little aches and pain were gone too. I am now able to go back to being normal. Computer time is now how long I want. TV is back to being normal and w color! I can even open the drapes and let the sunshine in again!
I ran out and it came back slowly. I went for 5 days without it before making a special trip just for it! I will NEVER be without it again! Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough for what you’ve done for me! I value your knowledge and appreciate your wisdom, Dr. Lange!!!!!

I recently broke a rib. I’ve been in extreme pain. The attending physician prescribed pain medication and steroids.
I began taking a combination of curcugen, Omega-3 Max fish oil and black currant oil a few days ago and the results have been remarkable!
I have been able to completely discontinue the pain medication and the steroids and I remain pain free. Actually, this combination works better than the pain medication and the steroids, because I am not walking around in a fog and I’m not emotionally wound up from the steroids.
I am so grateful; I no longer feel the need to take the synthetic garbage and I am able to achieve better results naturally.
Thank you Dr. Lange You and your products make such a huge difference and Arlene is such an inspiration and great help with her knowledge!!!
