Pillar Performance Curcumin Advanced+
Pillar Performance Curcumin Advanced+ is a bioavailable triple-strength curcumin formulation combining Theracurmin® and BioPerine® black pepper extract to deliver superior anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support. Built for active and high-performance individuals, it targets joint health, muscle recovery, and the reduction of exercise-induced inflammation — with a formulation designed to actually work.
Why Standard Curcumin Falls Short
Curcumin is the primary bioactive polyphenol extracted from turmeric and is well established for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It works by inhibiting key inflammatory mediators — including the NF-κB and COX-2 pathways — that drive exercise-induced inflammation, joint discomfort, and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
The problem is bioavailability. Standard curcumin powder is notoriously poorly absorbed in the gut, with oral bioavailability estimated at less than 1%. The dose on the label bears little resemblance to the dose that actually reaches your tissues. This is why formulation is everything — and why Curcumin Advanced+ is built differently.
Theracurmin® + BioPerine®: A Smarter Delivery System
Theracurmin® is a proprietary form of curcumin developed in Japan using patented sub-micron particle processing and surface-controlled technology. By reducing curcumin to an optimised particle size, Theracurmin® disperses readily in fluid and is far more readily absorbed by the body. In a randomised, open-label crossover study with 24 healthy participants, 90 mg of Theracurmin® was shown to be up to 42 times more bioavailable than an equivalent dose of standard curcumin powder.
BioPerine® is a patented black pepper extract standardised to contain at least 95% piperine — a clinically proven bioavailability enhancer. It works by increasing gastrointestinal blood supply, enhancing gut emulsification, and supporting active nutrient transport. Combined directly with Theracurmin® in each tablet, BioPerine® amplifies absorption at the point it matters most.
Together, these two ingredients form one of the most bioavailability-focused curcumin formulations available.
Who Is Curcumin Advanced+ For?
High training loads generate significant oxidative stress and inflammatory load on muscles, joints, and connective tissue. When inflammation is excessive, chronic, or poorly timed — particularly across back-to-back sessions, multi-day events, or long competitive seasons — it compounds into a performance liability: persistent soreness, degraded training quality, and cumulative joint stress that erodes performance over time.
Curcumin Advanced+ is well suited to athletes managing high joint load from heavy training volumes, those experiencing exercise-induced inflammation or recurring DOMS, endurance and team sport athletes with repetitive impact demands, masters athletes dealing with accumulated joint stress, and anyone who has tried standard turmeric products without meaningful results.

Recommended Use
Take 2 tablets daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare professional. For best results, take consistently each day rather than reactively. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
Note: Those on anticoagulant medications, iron supplementation, or prescription anti-inflammatories should consult a healthcare professional before use. Curcumin may reduce non-haem iron absorption — separate intake by a few hours where relevant.
Size: 60 Tablets (30 Servings)
