Turmeric is known for being a zesty spice that beautifies every food it touches, but it’s just was well-regarded for its medicinal properties. Its secret? Curcumin is the main active ingredient. It’s a strong antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties to boot. It can alleviate pain, improve liver function, and possibly reduce your chances of cancer.

Turmeric is so healthy many manufacturers have ‘encapsulated’ the idea in supplement form. If you think you might want more curcumin than you are getting currently, check out these health supplements using Turmeric.

Stay healthy!

She has also had reconstructive spine surgery so on some days she’s feeling a bit inflamed. She was originally using a brand she got at Costco but they weren’t vegan and it’s was almost 2 bucks a pill. I bought her these and she says she loves them and feels a huge difference compared to the Costco ones and her overall inflammation. Def recommend these to people who can’t take anti inflammatory medications.”

Gaia Herbs Turmeric Supreme is extra strength, for adults only. $18.52

One user says: “While I use the Gaia Herbs brand for a couple of other supplements and have been extremely happy with their quality, I avoided buying Gaia Herbs’ version of turmeric since the other brands I was using were less expensive. I decided to try one bottle’s worth to see if it made a difference. It did! Several weeks after switching brands to the Gaia Herbs version, my knee pain improved dramatically…often to the extent that I don’t even notice the pain (haven’t been without knee pain in 2 years).”

Natrogix Turmeric Curcumin is allergen and gluten-free. Non-GMO. $16.14.

I have been taking it since August 2017 and I have not had any issues with my knee. It takes a week or so to start working when you first start taking them. Also, this is a great company. They came with a coupon to get a free bottle which I received very quickly along with some other freebies.”

I was impressed to read that most other generic turmeric supplements contain only 3-10% curcumin (curcuminoids), but TRUCURC contains a concentrated blend of 95% curcuminoids, so it’s much more potent. Certified organic is also a plus! I feel great taking TRUCURC and have ordered a bottle for my parents as well. This is the brand to buy since it’s definitely the best I’ve found!”

I was with her through everything and take the same supplements (we’re a team), she wanted me to do what she’s doing and I had no problem doing so. No issue with any of the supplements, take a number of different one and will use the same review for all…no issues, good quality and everything we’re taking have hundreds of positive reviews.”

There will always be a little sediment from the ginger no matter how much you stir, but drink up-it’s ginger and very good for you.”
