Curcuma longa • Zerdeçal
A brilliantly yellow spice celebrated for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Used in cooking for colour and flavour, and equally valued for immune support.
Absorption tip
The absorption of curcumin — turmeric’s active compound — is significantly improved by adding a pinch of black pepper (piperine). Taking it with fat also aids absorption.
Caution
Consult your doctor when taking in high doses or alongside blood-thinning medications.
