Not all turmeric extracts are created equal.
Longvida®️Optimized Curcumin®️, the patented form of curcuma extract in BPC Gold, is the most highly bioavailable form of curcumin ever created.
Developed by neuroscientists, it contains a patented phytosomal delivery system that provides 285x greater bioavailability, 65x higher peak plasma levels, and 7x longer-lasting action than standard curcumin, delivering powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits throughout your entire system, including your brain.
What does phytosomal mean?
A phytosome is a complex where a plant extract (like curcumin) is bound to a phospholipid, in this case, phosphatidylcholine- a fat molecule that mimics your cell membranes.
Phytosomal supplements are easier to absorb and more bioavailable, leading to better results at lower doses, especially for anti-inflammatory and peptide-based compounds.
Due to this patented phytosomal technology, Longvida®️ Optimized Curcumin®️ delivers unmatched levels of free curcumin (the active form that is not metabolised or glucuronidated) into the bloodstream and target tissues, and is the only curcumin clinically proven to cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB), providing cognitive benefits and neuroprotective support.
With hundreds of recent medical studies proving the health benefits of curcumin extract, and over 20 recent clinical studies showing Longvida®️ Optimized Curcumin®️ to outperform all other curcumin supplements on the market, the list of benefits are staggering.
Here are just a few examples of the incredible benefits that Longvida provides.

Clinically Proven Benefits & References
Reduces Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is linked to everything from joint pain and immune issues to accelerated aging and hormonal imbalances.
Longvida®️ is clinically shown to reduce inflammatory markers, enhancing immune function while helping your system to heal and repair at an accelerated rate, speeding up recovery and slowing the negative effects of aging.
Supports Brain Health
Human clinical trials show Longvida® improves working memory, mood, and reduces mental fatigue in older adults, within hours of use.
Unlike standard turmeric, Longvida®️crosses the blood-brain barrier, offering cognitive support that enhances focus, memory, and long-term brain function.
It shows impressive benefits for neuroprotective support, resulting in improved motor skills and more youthful and resilient brain function.
Reduces Pain as Effectively as Ibuprofen
In a randomized, 90‑day pilot clinical study involving patients with knee osteoarthritis, daily supplementation of 160 mg Longvida® (delivering 80 mg curcumin per capsule) demonstrated significant reductions in pain and improvements in joint function, measured using VAS and WOMAC scores.
The results were comparable to ibuprofen, while maintaining a more favorable safety profile.
Additionally, a recent meta‑analysis of randomized controlled trials up to March 2025 found that Longvida® supplementation in knee osteoarthritis patients resulted in statistically significant drops in serum CRP and TNF‑α, biomarkers closely associated with inflammation and pain, underscoring Longvida’s anti-inflammatory efficacy in a clinical setting.
We use 200mg of Longvida® in each capsule of BPC Gold, making our formula even more potent than the dose used in this clinical trial, and more effective at pain management compared to Ibuprofen.
Protects Against Oxidative Stress
Longvida® curcumin consistently shows antioxidant activity in humans, especially by reducing oxidative stress in vascular tissues.
These improvements often accompany enhancements in endothelial (vascular) function, a meaningful benefit for reducing the negative effects of aging, and for people with metabolic conditions.
As a potent antioxidant, Longvida®️helps neutralize free radicals that contribute to premature aging, fatigue, injuries, and chronic ailments or disease. 5
In Summary
Longvida®️ Optimized Curcumin®️isn’t just a better curcumin, it represents the gold standard in turmeric extract supplementation, which is why we use this patented and clinically proven form of Curcumin in our BPC Gold formula.
With unmatched bioavailability and science-backed results across brain health, inflammation control, pain relief, and recovery optimization, Longvida®️ is the king of curcumin extracts.
This is the quality standard that Forus stands behind: backed by science, validated by real world results, and designed to elevate your health, performance, and longevity goals.
