BetterYou Turmeric Oral Spray - 25ml

World’s first turmeric supplement in oral spray form

BetterYou Turmeric Oral Spray utilises a unique molecular encapsulation process that ensures essential curcuminoids are effectively absorbed via the soft tissue of the mouth, entering the rich vein system below. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is not water-soluble (hydrophobic), and so is hard for our bodies to absorb through traditional digestive routes. Curcuminoids clump together in the gut, making them difficult to pass through the intestines. Turmeric Oral Spray overcomes turmeric’s hydrophobic nature by extracting the active curcuminoids from the turmeric root.

In a process we have named Cyclocurmin®, we then envelop them in a natural cyclo-dextrin process known as encapsulation, making the curcuminoid molecules water-soluble and preventing them from clumping together. A process taken from the pharmaceutical industry. These are then emulsified to create an evenly dispersed, water-based solution, for optimal absorption through the soft tissue of the mouth. Harnessing the power of turmeric has never been easier. BetterYou Turmeric Oral Spray allows everyone to benefit from the full potential of this incredible plant. All our turmeric is independently tested for heavy metals including, lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury to ensure full compliance and safety.

Importance of Turmeric

Turmeric has long been used in Indian and Chinese medicines. Supplementing turmeric via an oral spray has several benefits:

• Bioavailability – Innovative spray delivery system which skips out the digestive system avoiding the well-documented absorption issues with curcumin.
• Molecular encapsulation – Increases bioavailability through increased water solubility, improves taste and reduces staining.
• Natural ingredients – natural emulsifiers, flavours and sweetener (xylitol). This orange-flavoured formulation is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians.

Will the Turmeric oral spray cause staining?

The encapsulation process we use make the turmeric molecules more bioavailable, also helps reduce staining. However, turmeric is a bright orange spice and staining can still occur, so we recommend avoiding contact with clothes and other surfaces to prevent this problem. The turmeric supplement can cause temporary discolouration of the tongue and teeth, though do not worry, this won't last long. To avoid this, try spraying directly on to the back of inner cheek, near the molars, or use before brushing your teeth.

Is the Turmeric spray suitable for children?

The Turmeric oral spray is perfectly suitable for children aged 3 years and above. For children under 12 years of age we recommend halving the dosage, as their daily supplementation need is lower than that of an adult.

Do I need to take piperine black pepper with the Turmeric spray?

No. While piperine is one technique commonly used to enhance the bioavailability of turmeric, our Turmeric supplement instead utilises a technique called cyclodextrin encapsulation. This process makes the turmeric molecules highly water soluble, preventing them from clumping together. This enables the molecules to be absorbed through the highly absorbent tissue in the mouth, rather than relying on digestive absorption.

Can turmeric be used during pregnancy?

No. There is some research that suggests high dose turmeric supplements aren’t suitable during pregnancy, as they can cause the uterus to contract. For this reason, we do not recommend use during pregnancy.
