hey everyone dr. Jeremy wolf with
luckyvitamin if you're interested in
adding turmeric to your routine you may
be overwhelmed by the amount of products
on the market first let's start with the
basics
what is turmeric a closed herbal
relative of ginger the turmeric plant is
native to India Asia and Central America
in India it has been used as a spice and
medicinal herb for over thousands of
years turmeric active constituents are
known as Creek humanoids the most
important of which is curcumin which is
responsible for its fiery yellow hue and
many of its potential health benefits
curcumin may help reduce inflammation
and can be useful for treating pain or
skin irritation studies also show that
curcumin may support joint health lower
your risk for heart disease improve
memory and aid in weight control among
other benefits there's also a lot of
research currently being done on
turmeric potential benefits for certain
forms of cancer and even
neurodegenerative diseases like
Alzheimer's turmeric supplements are
available in a variety of forms
including pills capsules gummies tonics
and powders because curcumin itself is
very poorly absorbed and rapidly broken
down by the body it must be combined
with other ingredients to be effective
several forms of turmeric have been made
to help improve absorption a step that
lesser quality supplements fail to take
look for turmeric supplements combined
with piperine and extract a black pepper
or proprietary formulas such as Mareva
or BCM 95 which in research have
actually been shown to increase
absorption and potency turmeric is also
fat soluble which means that taking with
a fatty meal may also help increase its
effectiveness as always speak with your
health care provider before you start
taking any new supplements to find the
form and doses that's best for you these
are just a couple of reasons of
you should add turmeric to your daily
routine have a great day and spread the
