Turmeric's active compound, paired with piperine so more of it is absorbed.
Vitakyn Curcumin with Black Pepper is a vegetarian capsule supplying 500 mg of Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract with 5 mg black pepper extract. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, is included because curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed; piperine slows its breakdown in the liver and gut so more curcumin reaches the bloodstream. It is a nutraceutical for daily antioxidant and inflammatory-balance support, manufactured under WHO-GMP and FSSAI standards in Ahmedabad, India, and sold in a pack of 60.
Transcribed from the printed label so you can verify it against the pack. Approximate values per 1 capsule.

Nutraceutical — dietary supplementary food, not for medicinal use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place and protect from sunlight. Curcumin can have a mild blood-thinning effect; consult a doctor if you take anticoagulants, have gallbladder disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are scheduled for surgery.
Curcumin is the most-studied compound in turmeric for supporting the body's normal inflammatory response, which is why it is popular for joint comfort and post-exercise recovery.
Curcuminoids are potent antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals generated by pollution, stress and normal metabolism.
Piperine from black pepper has been shown in human studies to substantially increase curcumin's bioavailability compared with curcumin alone.
The label's three focus areas — immunity, joints and heart health — reflect the everyday wellness uses curcumin is best known for.
A nutraceutical supports normal health; it does not treat disease. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any supplement.
Vitakyn Curcumin with Black Pepper is manufactured for Medkyn Lifecare Pvt. Ltd., a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturer in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015 and FSSAI standards. Every batch is tested against its specification and released with a Certificate of Analysis.
Because curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed and rapidly broken down. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper extract, inhibits the enzymes that metabolise curcumin and has been shown in human studies to substantially increase the amount that reaches the bloodstream. Each Vitakyn capsule pairs 500 mg curcumin extract with 5 mg black pepper extract for this reason.
The label directs one capsule daily, or as advised by a dietician. Take it with a meal — curcumin is fat-soluble and absorbs better with food. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical advice.
Yes. The capsule shell is modified cellulose (a vegetarian capsule), not gelatin, and the product carries the green vegetarian mark. All Vitakyn products are 100% vegetarian except Vitakyn Omega 3 Fish Oil.
No. Turmeric is the whole root; curcumin is its main active compound and makes up only a few percent of turmeric powder by weight. A standardised curcumin extract delivers a measured dose that would be impractical to get from kitchen turmeric. Our article on curcumin vs turmeric explains the difference in detail.
