When it comes to functional nutrition, The Turmeric Co. is a trailblazer, offering a range of natural, science-backed products designed to promote health and wellbeing.


Central to the brand’s effectiveness is its unique BioMax Uptake Blend® - a secret proprietary formulation that elevates the nutritional potency of every shot.

But what exactly is the BioMax Uptake Blend®, and how does it work? Let’s dive deeper into the science behind this game-changing innovation.

Let's start at the beginning - what is functional nutrition?

Functional nutrition is a way of looking at food as more than just fuel... it’s about using food to support your body’s overall health.

Instead of focusing only on calories or general diets, it considers your unique needs, like your lifestyle, health issues, and how your body works.

The goal is to find the root cause of any problems and use the right foods and nutrients to help your body work better.

Functional nutrition doesn’t just treat symptoms; it helps you feel better and stay healthier in the long run by giving your body what it needs to thrive.

What is the BioMax Uptake Blend®?

The BioMax Uptake Blend® is a meticulously crafted delivery system designed to optimise the absorption and bioavailability of the natural ingredients in The Turmeric Co.'s functional shots.

Bioavailability refers to the degree and rate at which nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and utilised by the body.

While turmeric and other superfoods are linked to an array of health benefits, their natural compounds can sometimes be difficult for the body to absorb effectively.

For example, curcumin, an active compound in turmeric responsible for its reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has notoriously low bioavailability when consumed on its own.

Why is turmeric difficult to absorb?

Turmeric’s effectiveness is limited by three key factors:

  1. Poor solubility in water

Curcumin is a lipophilic (fat-soluble) compound, meaning it doesn’t dissolve well in water. As the human body is largely water-based, this creates a barrier to its absorption in the digestive system.

  1. Rapid metabolism

Once curcumin is consumed, it is rapidly metabolised by the liver and intestines. This means that even if it is absorbed initially, much of it is quickly broken down and excreted before it can have a meaningful impact on the body.

  1. Low stability in the gut

The acidic environment of the stomach and the enzymes in the digestive tract can degrade curcumin before it has a chance to reach the bloodstream, further reducing its bioavailability.

These challenges explain why curcumin’s natural benefits are often not fully realised without the right delivery system. That’s where the BioMax Uptake Blend® comes in - it ensures that the powerful ingredients in each shot are absorbed efficiently and put to work where they’re needed most.

Beyond the bioavailability

To understand the impact of the BioMax Uptake Blend®, it’s essential to appreciate the challenge it solves beyond curcumin.

The majority of 'health' supplements and drinks claim to provide health benefits but fail to deliver because their ingredients are not absorbed efficiently.

The BioMax Uptake Blend® ensures that every ounce of nutrition in The Turmeric Co.'s shots is fully utilised, offering consumers a functional solution backed by science.

Benefits of uptake blends for everyday wellness

The benefits of the BioMax Uptake Blend® extend further than enhancing nutrient absorption. By choosing supplements that improve the absorption of active compounds, you may be able to:

  • Support recovery: Whether recovering from a workout or managing inflammation, enhanced absorption of compounds such as curcumin and gingerols ensures quicker and more effective results.

  • Boost immunity: Vitamins and antioxidants are delivered in a way that fortifies the immune system against daily stressors.

  • Combat chronic conditions: Amplified anti-inflammatory effects of supplements may make them an excellent choice for managing conditions such as arthritis, IBS, and even oxidative stress linked to ageing.

  • Enhance performance: Athletes and active individuals can benefit from improved endurance and reduced muscle soreness, thanks to optimal delivery of nitrates and other performance-supporting nutrients.

A commitment to science, innovation, and protection

The BioMax Uptake Blend® embodies The Turmeric Co.'s dedication to combining natural remedies with scientific advancements. As a closely guarded trade secret, it is the result of years of development and testing, ensuring that no other brand can replicate its unique formulation.

This commitment extends to the company’s partnerships with researchers and healthcare professionals, ensuring that every product is not only effective but also validated by rigorous testing.

So, whether you’re an athlete, a busy professional, or someone looking to improve your everyday wellbeing, The Turmeric Co.’s shots offer natural, effective solutions that are formulated with absorption in mind.
