Product Information

• Name: Dihydrocurcumin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dihydrocurcumin is an analog of curcumin, a natural compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of bacterial strains such as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7. Dihydrocurcumin binds to the bacterial target protein, which inhibits the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This leads to decreased bacterial growth and increased sensitivity to antibiotics. Dihydrocurcumin also has low bioavailability because it is metabolized by fatty acid conjugation in vivo and is not absorbed by the gut. It has been shown to have pharmacokinetic properties that are similar to those of other curcuminoids due to its chemical similarity in structure.
