Most turmeric supplements list a single extract. CartiVex's label lists two, standardized in different ways. Here's the reasoning behind that.
A 4:1 extract means roughly four parts of the raw turmeric root were used to produce one part of the finished extract, a common way of concentrating a whole-root preparation.
This second extract is standardized specifically for its curcuminoid content, the group of compounds most associated with turmeric's studied effects, at a 95% concentration.
Pairing a broader root extract with a highly concentrated curcuminoid extract lets a formula draw on both the whole-root profile and a more targeted curcuminoid dose, rather than relying on just one.
