    Sabinsa Takes Action Against Synthetic Curcumin

    Company claims Germany-based Biotikon selling adulterated products.

    04.17.17
    Sabinsa Corporation has taken legal action against a German company, Biotikon Produkte, claiming the company is selling curcumin supplements described as derived from turmeric root, but which independent testing showed to contain “significant amounts of synthetic curcumin.”

    Sabinsa several times requested that Biotikon cease and desist advertising the company’s curcumin as natural, but Biotikon did not comply. Sabinsa consequently initiated actions at the civil courts of Germany and with the District Attorney, Darmstadt, and the Veterinary and Consumer Protection Agency, Heppenheim.

    The dispute covers the damages for false advertising of a synthetic product as natural, and for using Sabinsa’s trademark “Bioperine” illegally without Sabinsa’s consent, undermining the credibility of the trademark, plus court costs and legal fees, Sabinsa said.

    Sabinsa also claims that Biotikon has been using published studies on Sabinsa’s Curcumin C3 Complex and BioPerine ingredients in marketing Biotikon’s products, which Sabinsa claimed are adulterated with synthetic curcumin. 

    “Sabinsa has taken a strong stand to combat the substituting of natural curcumin with synthetic versions, alerting the industry to the adulteration problem two years ago when Sabinsa became aware that turmeric extracts adulterated with synthetic curcuminoids were infiltrating the market,” said Sabinsa founder Dr. Muhammed Majeed. “Continuing the company’s proactive leadership in addressing this problem, Sabinsa initiated radio carbon testing for all batches of Curcumin C3 Complex, safeguarding customer and consumer confidence in their product.” 

    Synthetic curcumin is made from petroleum-based materials in which radiocarbon is totally absent, unlike plant-derived material where a definitive amount is present. Testing methods such as Accelerator Mass Spectrometry can accurately assess the content of radiocarbon in a sample and can readily distinguish between a natural sample and its synthetic version. It can even determine the extent or degree of synthetic contamination in a professed natural product when both the natural and synthetic products are mixed, a common practice to offer cheap material.
