Natures Wealth: 120 Turmeric (Curcuma longa) capsules Description

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a herbaceous perennial plant that produces a rhizome used in South Asia for thousands of years both as a spice and as a medicinal plant.  Commonly known as "haridra" in India and "amu kaha" in Sri Lanka, turmeric has been used in ayurveda for thousands of years and is added to curries and consumed daily in South Asia.  Turmeric has gained fame outside its traditional range for its medicinal properties and reported benefits on a very wide range of diseases.

Nature's Wealth processes its turmeric by sun drying the rhizomes - without boiling it - a traditional method of processing.  This preserves a greater proportion of turmeric's beneficial compounds.  On its own, bio-availability of curcumin - the active compound in turmeric - is limited.  However, the addition of piperine is reported to increase bio-availability by 2,000%.  Traditionally, turmeric was consumed with the addition of black or long pepper, both of which contain piperine.  Our turmeric capsules include 20% long pepper (Piper longum) fruit powder since it is preferred by Ayurvedic physicians over black pepper.

Our recommended intake is one capsule per day after dinner as a regular wellness habit.  A higher dosage may be warranted if you have a specific condition that will benefit from Turmeric.  We don't make dosage recommendations for specific conditions and leave that decision to our buyers and / or their healthcare practitioner.
