Turmeric

Utilized since ancient times, turmeric provides a variety of different health benefits. Common turmeric benefits touted include anti-inflammatory effects, decreased cognitive decline, and a boost to overall mood and mental health. BJ's provides a selection of natural supplements to boost health and immunity.

Turmeric curcumin is primarily sold in powdered and capsule form, though sometimes liquid preparations are also available. It is ingested by itself or with food or milk. Like most natural remedies, the effects generally show up over a long-term period from regular usage. When consuming turmeric supplements, consider taking powdered turmeric with black pepper, which helps improve absorption.

Curcumin, which comprises around nine percent of turmeric's total content, is what gives it such a unique color. In India, turmeric is used in religious ceremonies. Powdered turmeric is also used as a traditional dye to color clothes and create ink and paint. Turmeric curcumin is also the "active ingredient" of turmeric, the compound with the primary health benefits.

Delicious on grilled foods, turmeric gives your diet plan a huge boost. Assisting in weight loss and overall health, it is one of the healthiest ingredients in world cuisine. Though often taken alone as a turmeric supplement, it can be used in a variety of dishes from oven-baked chicken breast to curries and sauces. Mixed in with cumin, butter, and coconut, it forms the basis of many delicious Indian meals.
