Curcumin & Brain Health: Boost Memory and Mood in Just 1 Hour

Research demonstrates that Longvida® Optimized Curcumin® delivers rapid cognitive benefits, with a single 400mg dose improving attention and working memory within one hour in healthy older adults¹. Backed by 11+ human clinical studies, Longvida® is widely recognised as the “Cognitive Curcumin of Choice™”.

Research shows that Longvida® consistently enhances working memory and helps reduce fatigue and stress reactivity², reinforcing its role in mood and cognitive support.

These findings which are validated through double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, position Longvida® as a clinically backed, bioavailable curcumin option for formulations targeting brain health and healthy aging.

Beyond its cognitive benefits, research shows that Longvida® provides broad support for overall health, including reducing inflammation and muscle damage³ biomarkers, promoting cardiovascular⁴ and antioxidant⁵ health, supporting joints⁶, metabolic health⁷, and even the gut microbiome. These multiple benefits make Longvida® ideal for diverse health applications, with just 400mg. Download a summary of the supporting research here. 

Additionally, Verdure Sciences® has earned the UEBT–Rainforest Alliance certification for its Sustainable Turmeric Program, empowering 310 farmers across 640 acres while ensuring ethical sourcing, full traceability, and reliable global supply. Combined with Longvida®’s robust clinical portfolio (67+ publications) and proven cognitive benefits within one hour of a 400mg dose, this positions the ingredient as a scientifically validated, sustainably sourced option for brain health formulations.
