Our Story

Kurk was founded by two friends: a medical doctor at the forefront of the emerging field of plant sciences and a high-performance martial arts coach. Both cancer survivors, Kurk is the result of their exceptional professional and personal journeys.

Their combined experience—and extraordinary recoveries—led to an interest in plant-based supplements and the role curcumin can play in supporting our health and happiness. After 4 years of extensive research and development, Kurk was born.
