    High-Potency Turmeric Receives GRAS Approval

    09.13.16
    DolCas Biotech, LLC, received self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status for its BCM-95 turmeric extract for use in foods, dietary supplements and medical foods, following a comprehensive review by a panel of qualified experts. DolCas Biotech, in collaboration with Arjuna Natural Extracts, India, conducted more than 24 clinical trials in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia, and has an ongoing clinical research program on BCM-95’s safety and application for health-related conditions‫.‬

    The food ingredient safety evaluation was undertaken in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety criteria whereby “reasonable certainty of no harm under the intended conditions of use” must be established. The GRAS evaluation was based on scientific procedures and substantial corroborative evidence derived from history-of-use considerations for related substances. Information obtained from animal studies, metabolism studies, estimated human exposure, in vitro studies, and refined chemical characterization in the collective provided broad-based documentation of the safety of the chemical components of BCM-95‫.‬

    Since curcumin is not well absorbed by the body, it benefits from an enhanced delivery system to increase its bioavailability. With BCM-95, the extracted curcumin is highly bioavailable thanks to the synergism between the curcumin itself and the compound ar-turmerone, an essential oil component of turmeric extract‫.‬

    ‫“The superior quality and analytical testing of the turmeric used for BCM-95 confirms the lack of contamination and ensures the finished product’s purity,” said Nipen Lavingia, vice president of business development of DolCas. “The company utilizes the highest measure of quality control procedures, guaranteeing BCM-95 curcumin is safe to use, and completely free of any contamination. In this way, DolCas Biotech has an established consumer and customer trust of its curcumin brand, internationally.”‬
    ‬
    ‫“DolCas has marketed BCM-95 in the U.S. since 2006, enjoying a steady increase in demand, thanks to dedicated consumers,” noted KG Rao, CEO of Dolcas. “Attaining GRAS status as a medical food is a strategic move that will position BCM-95 as a leading curcumin brand in the U.S. market.”‬
    ‬
    The Expert Panel convened by GRAS Associates, LLC, concluded that BCM-95, when being used in accordance with the designated food uses and use levels, is GRAS when consumed as proposed at a maximum of 180 mg per person per day in conventional foods, and at 1,000 mg per person per day in medical foods‫.‬

    The panel addressed chemical composition and purity of BCM-95 in detail, as well as evaluated the manufacturing process utilized to produce the subject material. The panel determined that production in accordance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) criteria yielded BCM-95 with an acceptable purity that met appropriate food grade specifications‫.‬

    ‫“We intend to promote BCM-95 for use in medical foods for various conditions, at a dose level of 500 mg per serving,” explained Lavingia. “If two servings of the subject medical food were consumed daily, the daily dietary exposure level of curcumin would be 1,000 mg per person.”‬
    ‬
    Founded in 2007, DolCas Biotech, markets branded natural, guaranteed highly pure, patented ingredients guaranteed highly pure, with efficacy backed by scientific research. In partnership with Arjuna Natural Extracts, India, the company combines innovation with industry expertise to develop and patent unique healthy ingredients. Comprehensive research and testing allows Dolcas to consistently provide customers with trustworthy nutraceutical ingredient systems‫.‬
