Introduction

This product is nano-micelles containing curcumin with the ability to disperse and dissolve in water. Curcumin is poorly absorbed into the body because it is insoluble in water. Therefore, the dissolution of curcumin in an aqueous medium is of great importance. Micelle is a surfactant molecule aggregate dispersed in a liquid colloid. It is a nanosized vesicular membrane which becomes soluble in water by gathering the hydrophilic heads outside in contact with the solvent and hydrophobic tails inside, which is known as emulsification. Loading the curcumin in nano-micelles enhances its dissolution and dispersion in water and helps it to absorb into the body. In general, the most important biological effects of turmeric and curcumin are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer effects.
