Turmeric needs to be of a supreme quality. So many people have said to me that they have tried turmeric as a detox or anti-inflammatory but it didn’t work or they didn’t notice much difference. Well here’s why…
Turmeric contains natural oils which will become rancid quite quickly, meaning if the product is not consumed in a fresh state it will simply be a dead food. Void of nutrients. It will be useless as a health enhancer. So two things to look for. If consuming the root, make sure it is fresh. So smell it. The aroma should be spicy and pungent. The problem is, turmeric will have been imported, so may already be too old by the time you buy it. So buying in capsule form is often the answer. But the turmeric should be encapsulated immediately after harvest. How will we know? Check the label, look for vegetable capsules, no heating or additives… Premier research labs based in America is a company that I trust because when you open a capsule you can smell the richness… the freshness. Cytoplan.co.uk is a company here in England that I also recommend.**
There are other companies too that have great products, just make sure you do your research.
Turmeric nourishes the gastrointestinal tract and supports liver health. It contains specific compounds known as curcuminoids, a potent antioxidant.
** If you take any prescription medications PLEASE check with your doctor before taking turmeric. Do not use turmeric if you have gallstones or a bile duct obstruction. Turmeric is also a blood thinner, so if you are on blood thinners, turmeric would be a contraindication as it could actually slow blood clotting. Know that it could increase the risk of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.
