OUR STORY
For thousands of years, cultures around the world have turned to turmeric as a healing spice. In India, it's consumed daily in curries, golden milk, and teas. Yet there's a frustrating paradox: despite lifelong consumption, people aren't experiencing the profound anti-inflammatory benefits that ancient practitioners promised.
The reason? When turmeric is cooked or processed in traditional ways, your body absorbs less than 1% of its active compounds. Even when combined with black pepper and healthy fats - techniques designed to boost absorption - the amount that reaches your bloodstream falls far short of therapeutic levels.
Meanwhile, chronic low-grade inflammation quietly drives the most pressing health challenges of our time: type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, joint deterioration, fatty liver, and accelerated aging. We're facing an epidemic of inflammatory diseases, and despite our best efforts, conventional solutions aren't enough.
There had to be a better way.
The Breakthrough
Armed with the bacterial strains from Bhutan, we began a meticulous screening process. We tested hundreds of isolates, searching for one that could unlock turmeric's hidden potential. We were looking for something specific: a strain that could activate anti-inflammatory pathways at the cellular level - not just suppress symptoms, but address inflammation at its source.
After extensive research, one strain emerged as exceptional: Lactobacillus acidophilus IL-058. It didn't just survive in turmeric - it transformed it. Through fermentation, this remarkable microorganism converted turmeric's compounds into more than 550 bioactive metabolites, creating a complex matrix of molecules that work synergistically to support human health.
We registered the strain at the prestigious Riken Institute in Japan and secured patent protection (FR2201333) for our unique extraction process. But registration and patents weren't our goal - proof was.
This wasn't just fermented turmeric. This was something entirely new: a postbiotic.
