Nature’s Best Kept Secret
Most of us are familiar with the ‘yellow’ colour rice used largely in Indian cuisine, particularly curries. But did you know that this natural spice, Turmeric, goes further than just adding flavour and colour to food? It holds an array of health benefits and has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. Turmeric, which is a plant derived from underground stems of the Curcuma longa, thrives in warm climates worldwide and is prized for its extensive uses in both the food and pharmaceutical industries. Remarkably, all its acclaimed health benefits stem from the active compound known as curcumin.
Antioxidants & Anti-inflammatory Benefits
Over the past few decades, numerous clinical studies have unveiled the remarkable health benefits of Turmeric. Curcumin itself has low bioavailability, meaning the body struggles to absorb it alone. However, when combined with piperine, a compound found in black pepper, curcumin absorption can increase by 2000%. Our FoodGrown Activated Curcumin is formulated to harness the full potential of these two powerful ingredients, providing maximum benefit.
The various antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that curcumin displays can improve the systemic markers of oxidative stress, playing a role in the development of various diseases. This supports cellular well-being by reducing inflammation in the body, which in turn helps improve overall immune function. Research also suggests that curcumin can aid in the management of arthritis, anxiety, metabolic conditions and exercise-induced soreness, contributing to recovery and performance in active individuals.
As a naturally occurring component of turmeric, curcumin has gained significant interest for its health benefits. Its GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) status has been carefully studied, demonstrating that it can be tolerated in large doses. While healthy individuals with low levels of inflammation may find it difficult to notice a difference, those with underlying conditions could experience more pronounced benefits.
