BCM-95 – the science-backed healthy ageing ingredient

Published: 1-Oct-2025

For today’s ageing global population, the demand is clear: more than just longer life, people want healthier years—defined by mobility, cognition, vitality, and independence

Ageing is inevitable, but the way we age is increasingly shaped by science, innovation, and the choices consumers make. For today’s ageing global population, the demand is clear: more than just longer life, people want healthier years—defined by mobility, cognition, vitality, and independence.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines healthy ageing as “the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age.” Translating this into nutritional innovation, the opportunity for scientifically validated solutions has never been greater. By 2050, adults aged 60+ will make up more than 20% of the global population—a demographic shift where vitality becomes the ultimate competitive advantage.

In this rapidly expanding segment, curcumin stands out as one of the most recognised natural solutions for healthy ageing. Backed by clinical evidence for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, curcumin is strongly associated with supporting longevity, joint health, cognitive performance, and cardiovascular function. Yet, conventional curcumin extracts are limited by low bioavailability.

BCM-95® – the next generation of curcumin

BCM-95® is the patented, clinically validated curcumin formulation redefining bioavailability and efficacy. Developed from 100% turmeric, BCM-95® combines curcumin with turmeric essential oil, standardised to 45% Ar-turmerone, to create a unique, patented synergy. This innovative formulation achieves approximately 700% higher absorption compared to conventional curcumin extracts.

The differentiator: a proven mechanism of action

At the core of BCM-95® lies a distinctive mechanism:

  • Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (Pgp): Turmerones in BCM-95® block Pgp, a cellular protein that restricts curcumin transport, ensuring more curcumin reaches target tissues.
  • Blood-brain barrier penetration: one of the few curcumin formulations clinically shown to cross into the brain, opening pathways for cognitive support solutions.

Proven science, proven market leadership

  • Protected by 42 global patents for innovation and efficacy
  • Backed by 92 scientific publications, including 46 human clinical studies
  • Demonstrated 3.5x higher ORAC value than standard curcumin
