Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, provides multiple health benefits through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric helps neutralize free radicals and suppress inflammation. In addition, turmeric has benefits for healthy adults: it improves mood and cognitive function, and it reduces muscle soreness after exercise. Our turmeric supplement includes BioPerine, a compound derived from black pepper that exponentially increases absorption and gives you more of turmeric's healing power.
