  30 particles measured: average 51.78 nm, standard deviation 30.95 nm, process capability (Cpk) 1.18.

  How this test works

  TEM photographs single particles at very high magnification, so each diameter is measured directly. A good report names the laboratory, the date, the batch and how many particles were counted.

  Report, November 2024

  In a rat study, Athemin^® reached a similar peak blood level at a thirty-third of the dose of curcumin extract (USM, 2024). Peak came at the first sample, 5 minutes; none were taken earlier. Total exposure over 16 hours was lower.

  How this test works

  It measures how much reaches the blood, how fast and for how long. Check the dose each group got, whether it was in animals or people, and which measure is compared: peak, time to peak or total exposure.
