Turmeric extract (Curcuma longa) is a bright yellow spice that is commonly used in foods such as dairy products, cereal, sausages, pickles, relish, baked goods, teas, and savory products. Most of these products use turmeric for coloring and flavor. Turmeric is a common spice used throughout the world and is particularly popular in India and Southeast Asia.
Curcuminoids Matter
Curcuminoids are the most potent compounds in turmeric. They are the active ingredients in the root that offer up all the incredible health benefits that turmeric is known for. Curcuminoids are extracted from turmeric roots using alcohol and vinegar. Nature's Lab Turmeric Complex uses turmeric root extract (not synthetic), taken from the perennial plant. The turmeric rhizome is harvested from fields and then chopped, dried, and milled into a powder. That powder is used for this supplement.
Turmeric acts as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent. It reduces the production of inflammatory molecules, such as prostaglandin and COX-2. In recent clinical studies, the anti-inflammatory action of turmeric was successful in promoting inflammation support. Another controlled trial found that when turmeric was taken daily, it decreased the swelling of joints.
Turmeric Promotes Joint and Skin Health
The organic ingredients found in turmeric can help promote healthy skin.* Curcuminoids support important blood and liver functions, healthy joints, and overall well-being,* which in turn may help promote radiant, supple skin.* Studies have shown that turmeric can also be effective at reducing skin elasticity issues induced by the sun.*
So, turmeric can act as a one-two punch against normal aging with its skin promotion and antioxidant capabilities–outer beauty plus inner purity.*
Turmeric Supports Immune, Digestive, and Liver Health
American and Danish scientists have found curcumin increases levels of a protein called CAMP that helps the immune system to fight off bacteria and fungi the first time they try to attack.*
Supporting a healthy digestive system, turmeric is anti-inflammatory to the mucous membranes, which coat the throat, lungs, stomach and intestines. Turmeric decreases congestion and inflammation from stagnant mucous membranes, which in turn benefits the digestive system.*
Turmeric shares similar liver protectant compounds that milk thistle and artichoke leaves contain. This has been shown to support liver health.*
