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. Turmeric's benefits lie in the curcuminoid curcumin. Curcumin is well-known for its powerful antioxidant benefits.

FAQS

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 are 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. Turmeric Boost includes 500 mg of turmeric extract standardized to contain 95% curcuminoids.

Why is black pepper extract included in the formula?

Because curcumin has been found to have relatively low absorption, Turmeric Boost contains 5 mg black pepper extract ( Piper nigrum ), a key ingredient that enhances curcumin absorption and increases bioavailability.
