Turmeric Boost

Turmeric, a plant in the ginger family native to Southeast Asia, is known for its golden hue; it's what gives curry powder and mustard their vibrant colour. As a spice, turmeric is incorporated into the daily life and cuisine of homes worldwide. In addition to its use as a spice and pigment, turmeric has been interwoven into cultural and healing traditions and used for medicinal purposes for centuries.

Curcuminoids are the active compounds found in turmeric, and turmeric’s benefits lie in a curcuminoid called curcumin. Curcumin is well known for its antioxidant benefits.

What is turmeric? What are curcuminoids? And what is curcumin?
Turmeric, curcuminoids, and curcumin are not interchangeable terms. Turmeric is a distinctive yellow spice that’s part of the ginger family and has been used for 4,000 years in cooking and medicinal uses. The family of active compounds in turmeric is called curcuminoids. The primary curcuminoid found in turmeric is called curcumin, and this is where turmeric’s powerful benefits come from. Curcumin is well known for its powerful antioxidant properties.

What's the difference between turmeric root and turmeric extract?
Curcumin is found in the root of the turmeric plant but only comprises a small amount of the turmeric root; an average turmeric root contains less than 5% curcumin, and this amount varies from turmeric root to turmeric root. On the other hand, turmeric extracts are made by extracting curcumin from the turmeric root and are standardized to contain concentrated amounts of curcumin. Each Turmeric Boost capsule includes 475 mg of curcuminoids.

Why is black pepper extract included in the formula?
