ADVERTORIAL

Turmeric has long been used as a flavoring and coloring agent in many Asian cuisines, as well more modern

applications as a natural color additive for cheeses, butter, mustards and other packaged foods. However, its

true power lives in its antioxidant properties and its support for joint, brain and immune health.

AYURVEDIC LINEAGE

This tradition of herbal and plant-based health practices places a huge importance on turmeric as health agent

within the body for a number of reasons. Historically, turmeric has been used for its antioxidant power and its

ability to support joint, brain and immune health. Scientific research has recently begun to validate many of the

long-held antioxidant properties of this member of the ginger family.*

ACTIVE INGREDIENT | CURCUMIN

Curcumin is the primary active ingredient in turmeric and is also a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals

within the body.* However, only 2-6% of the turmeric plant itself is comprised of curcumin, so leveraging the full

benefit of curcumin is difficult to do through the diet alone.*

ABSORPTION & BIOAVAILABILITY

Turmeric and curcumin are fat-soluble, making it difficult to absorb even in it’s pure form. To get the most benefit

from curcumin, your best source is a supplement that converts this fat-soluble ingedient into a water soluble

ingedient (try Solgar® Full Spectrum Curcumin), absorbed easily by the body in capsule form.
