Sisu Sisu - Full Spectrum Curcumin 40 mg, 60 sgel
Sisu Full Spectrum Curcumin - Curcumin is the primary active ingredient in turmeric, and is one of the most well-respected health supplement ingredients in Canada. However, curcumin is fat soluble and suffers from poor absorption, which means much of it passes straight through your gastro-intestinal system rather than delivering its benefits. This limits this amazing substance’s potential to positively affect human health…until now. Sisu Full Spectrum Curcumin is a unique formula that addresses the absorption challenges differently from all other available curcumin products. Sisu unlocks the benefit of curcumin like never before…just one liquid soft gel, once daily delivers maximized antioxidant potential.

What the research supports
One liquid softgel a day gives 40 mg of NovaSOL micellar curcumin, wrapped in a food-grade emulsifier so it disperses in water. The bottle of 60 lasts two months.
Curcuminoid trials use 500 to 2000 mg of standard extract a day.
- Joint comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Curcuminoid extracts eased self-reported joint stiffness in several randomized trials, but those used 500 to 1500 mg a day of standard extract, far above the 40 mg of micellar curcumin here.
- Inflammatory markers (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
- Curcuminoids lower circulating inflammation markers such as CRP and IL-6 in pooled human trials, though the clearest effects show up at doses far above the 40 mg in this softgel.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- someone whose stomach rejects turmeric capsules
- a single 40 mg liquid softgel avoids the gram-scale powder load and the black pepper extract that irritates some people.
- people who want one capsule, once daily
- the micellar format is what makes a once-a-day 40 mg schedule plausible at all, where powder needs two or three large capsules with food.
- someone already eating turmeric regularly
- this adds a well-absorbed top-up rather than duplicating a large powder dose you are partly getting from food.
Look elsewhere if
- anyone wanting the dose used in joint trials
- a 500 to 1000 mg standardized 95 percent curcuminoid extract taken twice daily is what those trials actually gave people.
- people avoiding synthetic emulsifiers
- the micelle is built with polysorbate 80. A turmeric extract in oil, or whole root powder taken with fat, avoids it entirely.
- someone planning to take it for years
- the directions cap unsupervised use at six weeks, so if you want an open-ended daily routine, sort that out with a practitioner first.
What to expect
Nothing sudden. Curcumin trials that measured joint comfort or stiffness ran 8 to 12 weeks before differences appeared. What you should notice immediately is the absence of the aftertaste, burping and handful-of-capsules routine that gram-dose turmeric powder involves.
How it compares
- Compared with a 500 mg turmeric extract with black pepper
- piperine works by slowing how fast the liver clears curcumin; the micelle works one step earlier by getting more of it across the gut wall in the first place, and it avoids the stomach burn piperine causes some people. The tradeoff: you pay considerably more per capsule and you give up the large absolute curcuminoid load that the published joint trials were built on.
