What Is Turmeric and Why Is It So good?
Turmeric is an herbal spice derived from a plant that belongs to a ginger family native to tropical South Asia. It has been used in that region for thousands of years and is what gives many dishes like curry its yellow color.
Research has recently started to uncover what many of these ancient people have known for a long time, that contains elements and compounds which act as powerful antioxidants and are extremely anti-inflammatory.
Are Extracts or Spices Better?
The best properties of are due to the curcumin compounds. The curcuminoid content in standard supplement is pretty low with an average of 3% by weight.
The low curcuminoid content in spice makes it quite difficult to leverage the health benefits by just adding it to your foods. This is why extract supplements have grown in the last decade, as they have a much higher curcumin content than turmeric spice.
