About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Cross-over Clinical Trial to Study the Bioavailability of Curcuminoids From Turmipure Gold® in Different Food Matrices

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the extent to which turmeric compounds in different food matrices becomes available to the body in healthy volunteers. The main question it aims to answer is:

  • Is the availability to the body of a turmeric dietary supplement altered when consumed in fruit nectar, oat milk, yogurt drink, or gummies in comparison to a dietary supplement capsule?

Participants will ingest a turmeric dietary supplement as a capsule or in different food matrices on six testing days (separated by at least one week). The day before testing day, a standardized dinner will be provided to the participants in the evening and participants will be instructed to not consume any foods or beverages (except water) and to arrive fasted (12 hours) at the investigation site. Participants will ingest turmeric dietary supplement formulations one by one in random order in the morning of testing days. Regular blood and urine samples will be collected before and up to 24 hours after the turmeric dietary supplement ingestion. Standardized meals will be provided during the entire testing day (lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner).

Read the detailed description

Curcumin has been studied as the main bioactive component of the rhizome of the herb Curcuma longa, known as turmeric, and is associated to potential health effects and benefits. Other bioactive components have also been identified, called the curcuminoid group. Curcuminoids are natural yellow-orange pigments and hydrophobic polyphenols derived from. Extracts of turmeric generally contain 75-80% curcumin, 15-20% demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and 0-10% bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC). Curcumin and curcuminoids have been extensively investigated due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, notably regarding their potential efficacy in modulating various health conditions.

In the present trial, the aim is to assess the bioavailability of curcuminoids in different food matrix formulations, the capsule format being the reference matrix, with a hypothesis of equivalence. The primary objective of the study is to assess the plasmatic concentration profile of total curcuminoids (curcumin, DMC, BDMC and their metabolites) on a 24-hour period after consumption of five different food matrix formulations containing TPG in comparison to the dietary supplement capsule formulation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TPG capsule, TPG ready to drink and TPG dairy analog in people with Healthy, run by Givaudan France Naturals at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-normalized AUC0-24h of total curcuminoids (time frame: 0 to 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
