Liberate

Liberate brings together turmeric, white willow bark and boswellia, botanicals people have reached for over centuries. Alongside them are ashwagandha, blueberry, Quercefit® and BioPerine® black pepper extract, which research shows helps the body absorb turmeric’s curcumin.

What it is and who it is for

Liberate is a botanical capsule for active adults who want a range of plant extracts in one daily serving. It is part of The Complete Collection and works well in a Mix & Match selection.

How to take it

A serving is two capsules, supplying the 801 mg blend; follow the directions printed on your bottle. A bottle of 60 capsules gives 30 servings.

The science

Turmeric with black pepper

In healthy volunteers, 20 mg of piperine taken with curcumin raised curcumin’s bioavailability by 2,000% compared with curcumin alone. Source: Shoba et al., Planta Medica, 1998.

White willow bark

Willow bark contains salicin, the plant compound that inspired aspirin. A 2009 systematic review gathered the clinical trials of willow bark extracts, run in people with back and joint pain, using up to 240 mg salicin a day for up to six weeks. Source: Vlachojannis et al., Phytotherapy Research, 2009.

Ashwagandha

In an eight-week randomised, placebo-controlled trial in 60 stressed but healthy adults, ashwagandha root extract (250 or 600 mg a day) lowered perceived-stress scores and morning cortisol compared with placebo, and participants reported better sleep. The extract (KSM-66) was supplied by its maker, Ixoreal Biomed. Source: Salve et al., Cureus, 2019.

Quercetin as Quercefit®

In 12 healthy adults, the lecithin-bound Quercefit® form of quercetin reached blood levels up to 20 times higher than ordinary quercetin. Source: Riva et al., European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 2019.
