Turmeric Extract

Also known as Indian saffron, turmeric comes from the root of Curcuma Longa, a flowering plant that is native to both Asia and Central America.  With its strong yellow hues, turmeric is a spice commonly used in curries, and can also be found in a number of teas and supplements. 

Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, and has long been used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine due to its antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects.  Studies show that due to these properties, curcumin can help to support a number of areas of health including balancing inflammation, digestion, joint support and blood sugar management.
