Ortho Molecular Products is adding a new formulation to its immune health product line. Turiva contains an exclusive blend of bioactive phytonutrients that make up the Complete Turmeric Matrix for increased clinical efficacy. Containing standardized amounts of curcuminoids, volatile oil, and turmerin protein, the Complete Turmeric Matrix is unique to Ortho Molecular Products and delivers the full-spectrum immune health benefits of the whole turmeric root, with no excipients or other additives, the company said.
 
“Current research indicates the critical importance of supplement bioactivity, rather than simply bioavailability, in supporting clinical outcomes,” said Aaron Bartz, president. “One of our core values as a company is evidence-based formulation, and Turiva exemplifies that. We’re excited to bring Turiva to the marketplace and change the conversation about supplement bioefficacy, while helping healthcare practitioners deliver consistent results.”
 
To that end, Turiva’s Complete Turmeric Matrix is designed to interact with the gut microbiome, which is widely considered to be influential in overall health. According research published in Advances in Nutrition and Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, the interaction of curcumin with the gut microbiome may be a key mechanism driving its bioactivity. In addition, research indicates the therapeutic potential of turmeric can be better delivered with its multiple components, found in the Complete Turmeric Matrix, rather than with concentrated single entities.
 
Turiva will be available in January 2020.
