Three main ingredients and how they work
BCM-95® Curcumin: The gold standard in curcumin research
Curcumin is the bioactive compound in turmeric and BCM-95 curcumin is the most clinically studied, enhanced absorption curcumin in the world. While most curcumin supplements feature standard curcumin that is poorly absorbed by the body, which limits how much benefit it can actually deliver, BCM-95 is different.
BCM-95® addresses this directly. This curcumin is combined with turmeric essential oil—including ar-turmerone, a naturally occurring compound from the oil—for enhanced bioavailability and improved blood retention compared to standard curcumin extracts. With over 90 published studies supporting its benefits, BCM-95® is the most extensively researched enhanced absorption curcumin in the world. For people dealing with occasional pain due to exercise or overuse, curcumin's ability to support a healthy inflammation response is a key part of how it helps support the body .*†

BOS-10® Boswellia: Targeted support through a different pathway
Boswellia—also known as Indian frankincense—has been used in traditional Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years, and modern research has helped explain how it works. Boswellic acids, particularly a compound called AKBA (acetyl-keto-beta-boswellic acid), support a healthy inflammation response through pathways that curcumin alone doesn't reach.*†
The boswellia in CuraMed Acute Pain Relief is a specialized extract called BOS-10®, standardized to contain at least 10% AKBA and at least 70% total organic boswellic acids. It's also formulated to minimize beta-boswellic acid—a compound found in unstandardized boswellia that can work against the formula's goals. This level of specificity is what sets BOS-10® apart from generic boswellia extracts, supporting both comfort and mobility so you can keep doing the activities you love.*

Black Sesame Oil: Ancient wisdom, modern delivery
Black sesame oil has been a staple in Ayurvedic formulation for centuries, valued for its ability to help transport fat-soluble ingredients through the body. In this formula it plays two roles: as a carrier for the fat-soluble curcumin and boswellia—improving how well they're absorbed and distributed—and as a bioactive ingredient in its own right, with research supporting its role in maintaining a healthy inflammation response.*†
The combination of these three ingredients, each addressing occasional pain from a different angle, is what makes CuraMed Acute Pain Relief a thoughtfully designed formula rather than a simple single-ingredient product.*†
