The Science
What is KURK?
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 3% 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 to surround the hard crystal which allows it to effortlessly mix with water (and more importantly be absorbed) into the cell wall. These tiny structures carry Curcumin into the bloodstream effectively.

KURK secures Innovate UK Grant for ground-breaking
research with Swansea Medical School
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 research into pain and inflammation.
This collaboration will develop sophisticated analytical processes for micellar-particle optimisation, including advanced cell-based studies to evaluate biocompatibility, cellular uptake in epithelial models, and release profiles within cellular environments. This cientific validation represents a crucial step forward in KURK's mission to manage chronic inflammation naturally.
Scientific studies
With over 20,000 peer-reviewed articles on PubMed, the scientific community is excited about the positive effects of Curcumin on human health.
As research progresses, the likelihood of uncovering further health benefits of Curcumin is inevitable.
