Why is KURK different?
KURK is our unique formulation that combines the world's best adaptogenic plants within a delicious drink.
The hero in KURK is curcumin—a compound that makes up only around 2% of the turmeric root. This potent and biologically-active compound offers extensive health benefits.
Historically, the body's absorption of curcumin has been limited, which has reduced its full potential. But with KURK, that’s no longer the case—with increased absorption, we've unlocked it's full power.
Curcumin is a crystal
Noted for its vibrant yellow-orange colour, the curcumin crystal is a moderately hard structure, and is insoluble in water—making absorption very difficult.
We have made curcumin micelles
KURK uses plant-based ingredients to create micelles that surround the hard crystal.
This allows the curcumin to mix effortlessly with water, solving the core problem of insolubility.
This advanced design is what makes our formula up to 185x more absorbable than standard curcumin powders.

KURK secures Innovate UK Grant for ground-breaking research with Swansea Medical School
This research partnership leverages Swansea Medical School's renowned expertise in medical biotechnology and biomedical sciences to enhance KURK's established commitment to pioneering plant-based science and formulation.
This collaboration will develop sophisticated analytical processes for micellar-particle optimisation and further our scientific understanding of bioavailability. This validation represents a crucial step forward in KURK's mission to create the highest-quality, plant-based formulations possible.
Scientific studies of curcumin
With over 20,000 peer-reviewed articles on PubMed, curcumin is one of the most widely researched plant-based ingredients in the world.
This extensive body of global research is what inspired us to focus on solving the single biggest challenge: absorption.
