Where is turmeric good for

Turmeric is a popular product. But what does this product actually do? And did you know that turmeric and curcumin are not the same? On this blog, you will find all the information about turmeric and curcumin.

Turmeric originates from India and is widely used in Eastern cuisine. Nowadays, turmeric is also indispensable in the Netherlands and Belgium. Turmeric is also known as yellow root. It is a spice that is delicious in curry or over rice.

What many people do not know is that there is a difference between turmeric and curcumin. Turmeric contains various compounds known as curcuminoids. Curcumin is the main curcuminoid and the active ingredient in turmeric. This substance is responsible for the positive properties of turmeric.

Research shows that curcumin has many positive effects on the body:

• Curcumin helps as an antioxidant to protect the body against harmful external influences.
• Curcumin helps keep the joints flexible.
• Curcumin promotes digestion

When you consume turmeric, you also intake the active substance curcumin. However, it's not the case that simply adding turmeric to dishes provides you with enough curcumin. This is because curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body. Additionally, the liver breaks down curcumin. Therefore, adding the spice to your diet is not very effective. Turmeric powder from the supermarket contains only about 2 to 3% curcumin.

If you want to ensure that your body receives enough curcumin, pay close attention to the amount of curcumin in turmeric products. Additionally, research has shown that black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin and that the body absorbs liquid curcumin better.

Research has shown that the absorption of the active ingredient curcumin is improved in combination with black pepper (piperine). By adding black pepper, the absorption of turmeric improves by a factor of 20.

The gastrointestinal tract is better able to absorb liquid curcumin. Therefore, Purasana has developed in addition to Turmeric Tablets I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that. Curcuma Raw Powder now also two liquid variants in the assortment:
