🔬 Curowhite and the Color of Curcumin 🔬

We have been getting a lot of confusion and questions on the color of Curowhite on our Facebook page, so I figured I would make a post here to address it. I am sure some people here are curious as well. To start, one of the major questions we have been getting is whether Curowhite is bleached to get rid of the color. I think many people are unaware of just how color works, which is why many people immediately jump to what they have experienced before. Many people have seen how chlorine bleach gets rid of color, so they fall back to that. I'll go through the details to clear things up.
What is color? Well color is simply our eyes interpreting the wavelengths of light being reflected back to us from an object. If an object is white, that means that the entire spectrum of visible light is being reflected back to our eyes. If we were to take out part of that spectrum before it reflected back to our eyes, we would see it as a specific color. In curcumin's case, we take out the blue hues, which means our eyes see the curcumin as orange. If we remove all wavelengths, we see black. It's all just our eyes interpreting the wavelengths of light being reflected back to us by objects.
So why…

Yea I'm tasting one again, again I'm tasting banana but as the pill breaks down I do start to taste a little pepper you could say, but I would more associate it to banana, pepper is kind of in the back of the throat with banana upfront
Are the structures chemically similar to either? Would be interesting to see
Ask other people in your team who supplement it and see if they taste banana

Synthetic banana flavor is isoamyl acetate.
Here are the hydrogenated curcuminoids.
They share a ketone attached to a hydrocarbon chain. Maybe that's it.
