What Is Turmeric?
Turmeric, often called the "golden spice," is a bright yellow-orange root that's part of the ginger family. The active stuff in turmeric, called curcumin, is known for being great at fighting inflammation[1]. You probably recognise its vibrant powder in your spice cupboard, but turmeric's not just a tasty seasoning; it's also acts as a natural remedy for all sorts of stuff, like sore joints, tummy troubles[2], and giving your overall immune system a boost.
What Are The Key Benefits Of Turmeric?
- Anti-Inflammatory: Turmeric is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce uncomfortable, or even painful inflammation throughout the body or sore joints. [3] If you struggle with joint pain or stiffness, turmeric can really help.
- Digestive Health: Turmeric has been used for centuries to aid digestive health. It can help soothe an upset stomach, reduce bloating, and even alleviate symptoms of IBS[4]
- Immune Boost: Because of its antioxidant properties[5], turmeric can help strengthen the immune system, which is essential to keeping you healthy and fighting against illness.
Are There Any Other Beneficial Ingredients?
Absolutely. Our gummies contain functional ingredients such as black pepper and ginger for additional wellness support, each with their own range of benefits; Black pepper contains a substance called piperine, which when combined with curcumin, can increase bioavailability, enhancing absorption by up to 2000%. Ginger has long been used in many traditional and alternative medicine practices thanks to its medicinal properties - the main bioactive compound in ginger (gingerols) has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also.
