-- コスモス・ヘルス（COSM）は金曜日、クルクミンサプリメント「Cur18」を第2四半期中に米国市場で発売すると発表した。 同社によると、このサプリメントは、従来のクルクミン製剤によく見られる「生体利用率の低さ」という問題を克服するために開発された。従来の製剤は消化器系で容易に溶解しないため、生体利用率が低いという問題があった。 同社によれば、Cur18は、薬物動態学的研究に基づき、標準的な95%クルクミノイド抽出物よりも39倍高い生体利用率を提供する全スペクトル抽出物を使用している。 また、同研究では、この製剤が総クルクミン曝露量を49.5倍高めることも示されており、さらに別の臨床データでは、変形性膝関節症患者の膝の痛みに有意な改善が見られたと付け加えた。
