Curcumin

Description

Curcumin, a yellow polyphenolic pigment from the turmeric rhizome, has been used for centuries for culinary and food coloring purposes, and as an ingredient for various medicinal preparations, widely used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine.

Interestingly, this natural polyphenol is universally known as the “wonder drug of life”. In ancient times in the Far East, turmeric was used to treat inflammatory conditions of various organs, for liver and digestive tract problems, and on wound healing. In the 1970s, the first research on curcumin’s health benefits was carried out.

Most turmeric has an average of between 2 and 4% curcumin. Our curcumin capsules are tested organic and the curcumin content is well over 5%.
