Turmeric Dual Chamber Capsules - doTERRA Europe | Science Talks (Translated Subtitles)

<<7>> Hi, I'm Dr. Brannick Riggs,

<<8>> Vice President of Education
at doTERRA International,

<<11>> and I'm here with
our amazing Scientific

<<13>> and Medical Education
Committee here in Europe,

<<15>> to have a
conversation today about

<<17>> the Turmeric Dual
Chamber Capsules,

<<19>> and how they are different
from maybe some other products

<<22>> that might be on the market,

<<23>> and how they
might be helpful for us.

<<25>> Before we dive into
those specifically,

<<29>> Ruth, let's talk about
the origin of turmeric

<<32>> and can you tell us
more about its benefits

<<36>> and where it comes from?

<<37>> Yeah, well, I mean, I
first came across turmeric

<<38>> from looking at
Ayurvedic practises

<<41>> and Ayurvedic practises
being or Ayurveda being one

<<43>> of the most ancient
medical practises you know,

<<46>> in the world.

<<47>> Mostly around India,

<<49>> Right.

<<50>> and the sort of habits
that are in India.

<<52>> The root comes
from India.

<<54>> That's its most wide usage.

<<56>> And there is, you know,
there have been,

<<59>> so it's used in Ayurvedic
practises for balancing all sorts

<<62>> of different parts of the body.

<<64>> But it's also

<<65>> thought to be very supportive
of the digestive system,

<<70>> it's a good antioxidant,

<<71>> supportive of healthy
inflammation.

<<74>> Yeah.

<<75>> It's, you know,

<<76>> a central part of
Ayurvedic medicine,

<<78>> and you'll find people using
it for all sorts of things.

<<81>> Well, a little bit more

<<83>> on the history there,
it's been studied

<<86>> in more than a thousand
human clinical trials.

<<88>> - Yes, yes.

• Yeah.

<<89>> More than
10,000 publications,

<<92>> so it's a very well-researched

<<95>> - natural ingredient.

• That's true.

<<96>> - Yeah, absolutely.

• Yeah, absolutely.

<<97>> Because likely
it's been used

<<99>> for thousands
upon thousands

<<100>> - of years.

• Absolutely.

<<101>> We really
wanted to know,

<<102>> "what are the benefits

<<103>> and application for this?"

<<104>> Yes.

<<105>> So science has taken a
real hard look at this.

<<108>> Yeah.

<<109>> So when looking

<<110>> at the single Turmeric
Dual Chamber Capsule,

<<113>> there's one that's clear
and then one that's golden.

<<117>> Right, so what,
why is that?

<<120>> Why do we have a golden capsule
and then a clear capsule?

<<123>> Yeah, that's because we
have a capsule in a capsule.

<<126>> Yeah.

<<126>> That's totally amazing.

<<127>> So we have two
different things

<<130>> in these two
different capsules.

<<132>> So we have, in the first capsule,
we have the turmeric oil.

<<135>> And in the second capsule,
inside this first capsule,

<<139>> we have the
turmeric powder.

<<143>> And these capsules are amazing
because they are special.

<<148>> If we would like to
protect these ingredients,

<<154>> then we need capsules that
let these ingredients in

<<157>> our intestine and that these
ingredients only are released

<<163>> in our intestine and for
this delayed release,

<<168>> we need a protection.

<<169>> And these capsules can
protect these ingredients

<<173>> in a healthy way.

<<174>> They are special
HPMC capsules,

<<178>> so they are plant-based,

<<181>> so also suitable for
vegetarians and vegans.

<<186>> And it has a
special cross-linking,

<<190>> it's a cross-linking
plant cellulose.

<<192>> And because of that, the
releasing time is later.

<<197>> So, and the body has to
work with two capsules,

<<203>> and because of that

<<204>> both of them are in the
intestine when they are released.

<<207>> We can't say especially on
this point, because it depends

<<212>> on how much acid you have
in your stomach and also

<<218>> in the beginning of your
intestine, your small intestine,

<<220>> and also your microbiome,
and also what you eat before.

<<224>> So a lot of things
depends where, but we have

<<228>> the opportunity that all the
ingredients go in this part,

<<232>> we would like to have
them that they get

<<235>> safely in our bloodstream
and can support our body.

<<240>> So this is similar

<<241>> to our PB Assist technology
in that dual-chambers, right?

<<245>> And the reasoning

<<246>> for that being in two
different capsules for sure.

<<249>> So Alex, can you explain
the extraction methods of

<<254>> creating that Turmeric
Dual Chamber Capsule?

<<257>> Tell us about the
extraction methods for that.

<<259>> Yeah, so you've
heard there's two,

<<260>> really two different
types of compounds,

<<262>> both coming from
the turmeric root;

<<264>> turmeric oil and
turmeric powder extract.

<<266>> One with turmerones, the
other with the curcuminoids.

<<270>> The turmeric
essential oil is extracted

<<271>> through a distillation
process, which is the most

<<274>> common way that essential oils
are extracted from plants.

<<277>> And then the curcuminoids,
curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin,

<<282>> bisdemethoxycurcumin are
extracted with a solvent.

<<287>> So you have an ethanol,
which is a polar solvent

<<290>> and it will go and surround
these polar compounds

<<292>> which polyphenols are polar.

<<295>> And so the curcuminoids are polar

<<296>> and when you extract
with a solvent,

<<299>> then it surrounds these
polyphenolic compounds

<<301>> it's able to extract
them from the plants

<<303>> and then the solvent can be
evaporated off, and you're left

<<306>> with these beneficial
extracts from turmeric.

<<311>> - So you get the whole value.

• Yeah.

<<313>> The wonderful thing
about this is that the,

<<315>> the sort of the
Ayurvedic use

<<316>> and the traditional use comes
from both of these areas.

<<319>> You can't get them
through one process.

<<322>> You need two completely
different processes to

<<324>> get the whole benefits.

<<327>> We take them from one,

<<328>> we get the actives, and we
put them back together in one.

<<332>> - Yeah.

• Right.

<<332>> I think it's because,
you know, I don't know,

<<335>> as you get people
that will just munch

<<336>> on a turmeric root to
get the whole plant at

<<338>> one time, it's gonna be
a little bit powerful.

<<341>> It's a great lunch.

<<342>> And a little bit fibrous!

<<344>> - And stains everything.

• Right, right.

<<346>> It stains absolutely
everything.

<<347>> This is actually a
beautiful way to

<<348>> get the whole plant,
the whole root,

<<351>> but getting it within
that capsule, for sure.

<<354>> You mentioned polar;
polar for those molecules

<<357>> is a positive charge
on one end,

<<359>> a negative charge
on the other,

<<360>> and having polarity affects
the system a little bit.

<<363>> So yeah, I think
that's important.

<<365>> So, Fernando,
how many drops

<<368>> of the Turmeric essential
oil do you find

<<370>> within that outer capsule?

<<372>> Because doTERRA
made it with a pattern,

<<375>> so it's about two drops.

<<377>> - Two drops.

• Eight milligrams.

<<379>> Great ratio with the amount

<<381>> of the turmeric powder that
you find on the inside, right?

<<386>> There's an important thing
that we ought to talk

<<388>> about here, which is how
do you get the benefit

<<391>> of those turmerones
and the curcuminoids?

<<394>> Because we know

<<395>> that curcuminoids are difficult
for us to absorb, right?

<<398>> They're fairly large molecules.

<<400>> We don't do well at absorbing those,

<<402>> but the turmerones
actually have some benefit

<<407>> for us with that,

<<408>> which is why we've
put these two together.

<<409>> Alex, do you wanna talk
a little bit about that?

<<411>> Yeah, there's a
particular type

<<412>> of cell in the intestine,
like they're

<<414>> absorption models that
are used in research

<<417>> these Caco-2 cells,
and they're able to

<<420>> establish that the
Turmeric essential oil,

<<424>> this lipophilic oil,
is aiding in the uptake

<<428>> in the intestines of these
polyphenolic curcuminoids.

<<431>> So even though
they're amazing compounds,

<<434>> curcumin is not
well absorbed, right?

<<437>> And so by delivering it
with the turmeric oil,

<<440>> we get a much higher
absorption and uptake.

<<443>> So we get the benefits
from turmeric.

<<445>> Yeah.

<<446>> I think the research
tells us it's actually

<<447>> 11 times more of that absorption
when we have the turmerones

<<452>> assisting in that uptake
of the curcuminoids.

<<455>> Yes, in blood levels.

<<456>> And you've mentioned
Ruth, earlier, the fact

<<458>> that those are the
powerhouse molecules,

<<460>> Exactly.

<<461>> that give us some of
those benefits supporting

<<462>> the digestive tract, supporting
a healthy inflammatory

<<465>> response, being
antioxidative for the cell.

<<467>> So this really becomes
for many a daily product

<<472>> to be using to support the systems.

<<474>> We know that in Ayurvedic
medicine as well as in

<<477>> common lifestyle
within India,

<<480>> common lifestyle
within India,

<<481>> - this is taken every day,

• Yes.

<<483>> in their food.

<<485>> We don't typically have
that culture here in Europe.

<<488>> And so this actually becomes
a way for us to get some

<<491>> of those benefits

<<492>> while not having turmeric
in all of our food.

<<495>> Not getting yellow all over
our house and all over our

<<497>> - kitchen side.

• For sure, for sure.

<<499>> So, the Turmeric Dual Caps

<<502>> I think are a great addition
to our supplement line.

<<506>> They're extremely helpful.

<<508>> It can be taken up to three
times a day internally

<<511>> and is a fantastic
product to be bringing

<<514>> to our market here in Europe.

<<515>> So thank you

<<516>> for joining me today,

<<517>> and having this discussion
about the Turmeric Dual Caps.
