Turmeric (Curcuma) Extract (95% Curcuminoids) – 450 mg

If you like spicy-hot Indian curries or bright-yellow mustard, you probably like turmeric, the herb that gives these condiments their color. Like most culinary herbs, turmeric – which is grown in south Asia from India to Indonesia – also has health qualities. It’s a staple of traditional Indian Ayurveda, which uses preparations from the root of turmeric, a perennial herb. The powdered root is a prime ingredient in curry powder and is also called Indian saffron, although it doesn’t come from the saffron plant.

Potential Health Benefits

Commission E endorses turmeric root to help support dyspeptic complaints: upset stomach. Traditional and modern Asian healers have used turmeric much more widely, supporting a range of complaints that the commission doesn’t address: colds, headaches, leech bites.

Scientific Evidence

The active ingredient in turmeric powder is a chemical called curcumin, a natural disinfectant that helps retard food spoilage. Most scientific research on turmeric has been done in India, where animal studies suggest that turmeric reduces bloating and may help protect the liver against damage from alcohol.

Other animal studies hint that turmeric, like its cousin ginger, may support healthy cholesterol levels and slow untoward bloodclotting. A 1985 study published in the Western medical periodical Immunity Letter suggests that curcumin supports the effort to slow down the growth of errant cells.

Take 1 capsule, 3 times daily, with meals.
