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.
