Does Longvida Curcumin Break a Fast?
Original post in this thread

My understanding is that curcumin with piperine does not break a fast, but Longvida has phospholipids and a fatty acid coating to increase bioavailability. Does this change the way your body reacts to it in regard to a fast? I would be taking it sometime in the morning and usually don’t start eating until 7PM or so.

Funny; I just have gotten back into Longvida for helping prevent brain inflammation, especially when not getting enough sleep (late nights working until 3am or so sometimes). Related question: is it helpful, or necessary, to take Longvida with food? I usually eat my last meal of the day at 7:30pm or so and try to fast thereafter until 1:30pm or so the next day. I sometimes will take Longvida at night (e.g., at midnight). Help to take it with food or is it irrelevant with the coating? At least one other vendor of a Longvida product says to take it with food.

No reason to take with food. The solid lipid curcumin particle that makes up Longvida is designed to absorb as a whole particle by itself. No need for food.
