Cúrcuma Extract - A modern natural treasure
Cúrcuma extract (25:1) 500mg (BCM-95®) + BioPerine® from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement made from standardized 25:1 turmeric rhizome extract, BCM-95® raw material and 50:1 black pepper fruit extract, BioPerine® raw material.
The turmeric rhizome is the part of the plant’s root that is typically richer in the compounds characteristic of the species, which has made it a widely known option as a dietary supplement, used worldwide, something that has its origins in Indian culture where it traditionally relied on the properties of its characteristic compounds.

Meet turmeric and all it has to offer
What is turmeric and why is it all the talk?
Turmeric is a plant native to southern Asia, whose rhizome has traditionally been used for its functional value. Its extract concentrates compounds known as curcuminoids, with curcumin being the main one. These compounds are responsible for the characteristic yellow color and have become the focus of interest in modern dietary supplements. Thanks to advances in extraction technology, today it’s possible to obtain highly concentrated and standardized forms, enabling precise and convenient dosing, as happens with the BCM-95® patent.
The turmeric extract has positioned itself as a key ingredient in products aimed at people looking to integrate the benefits of plants into their daily routine. Its popularity in the functional field is due to its phytochemical profile and its traditional use in different cultures.
Why buy an extract and not turmeric powder?
Unlike turmeric powder, which is mainly used as a spice in cooking, the turmeric extract is designed specifically for functional use. While ordinary powder contains only a small percentage of curcuminoids, extracts, such as BCM-95®, are highly concentrated and standardized, meaning they provide a precise and consistent amount of these characteristic compounds in each dose. This difference is key for those looking to incorporate turmeric practically and meaningfully into a daily routine.
Moreover, standardization is an important quality marker in the field of dietary supplements. It indicates that the product has been made to contain a guaranteed amount of nutrients, like curcuminoids, which does not occur with culinary turmeric powder, whose content can vary widely. Choosing an extract is an essential requirement to take advantage of turmeric’s properties, something that, while it can be accompanied incidentally by turmeric in powder form with meals, cannot be the main way to benefit from its effects.
HSN Development - Free from unnecessary additives, with maximum quality
At HSN we believe in the simplicity of well-made things.
And as part of this idea, we don’t use unnecessary additives in our products, that is, we avoid all those ingredients used in capsules to provide aesthetic effects, usually opacifying agents and colorants, which while they may make the capsule look “nicer,” add nothing more than lengthening the ingredient list and making it harder to understand.
The BCM-95® turmeric extract has been developed based on these principles to guarantee the highest quality and transparency.
Raw material BCM-95® - International recognition
BCM-95® is a patent of Arjuna Natural Pvt. Ltd., a company famous for being the developer of the internationally known Ashwagandha extract Shoden®.
Its commitment to turmeric extract has been based on the development of an extract that is 100% turmeric. With patented technology that leverages the value of 45% AR-Turmerone, it offers safety guarantees based on the highest manufacturing quality.
The difference between its patent and a standardized turmeric extract at 95% curcuminoids is, as Arjuna explains:
A standard, quality turmeric extract is standardized to 95% curcuminoids, composed of: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bis-demethoxycurcumin.
BCM-95® (Curcugreen®) is standardized to 95% curcuminoid complex, containing curcuminoids and turmeric essential oil enriched with 45% ar-turmerone, a natural active component of the turmeric rhizome with known properties.
Note: BCM-95®, Curcugreen® and Biocurcumin® are the same product, if you’re looking for any of the 3 references, it’s the raw material you’ll find in this turmeric extract.
Why add black pepper to turmeric?
Black pepper is added to turmeric because it contains piperine, a compound that significantly supports the absorption of curcuminoids, including curcumin itself. Curcuminoids have low bioavailability due to rapid metabolism and poor intestinal absorption. Piperine inhibits certain hepatic enzymes responsible for breaking down turmeric, facilitating its absorption by up to 2,000% (Hatab et al., 2019). This combination supports turmeric’s effects.
To this end we use BioPerine®, a patent of Sabinsa Corporation, known for its quality and maximum purity of piperine content, constituting 98.5% of its net concentration.
