Curcuma longa, a prodigious plant
Curcuma longa L., from the Zingiberaceae family, is a herbaceous species native to tropical and subtropical climates. It is one of the plants used in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in recent years it has received considerable attention for its potential health benefits. Turmeric, a bright yellow-orange powder that is slightly soluble in water, is obtained from the dried and ground rhizome of this plant. It is the main ingredient in curry, a spice that has been used for centuries in the cuisine of India and other Asian countries to flavor and color food. In addition to its use as a spice, turmeric has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for nearly 6,000 years to alleviate various ailments.
The properties attributed to turmeric powder are due to its content of various natural compounds, most notably a group of polyphenols with potential health benefits called curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin). Studies suggest that, of the curcuminoids, curcumin is the most beneficial natural compound for health because it supports healthy inflammatory and oxidative processes.
Modern turmeric supplement formulations include 95% standardized curcuminoid extract in combination with whole turmeric root powder, which provides additional benefits, and Bioperine®, a patented piperine-based extract, which increases the formulation's bioavailability, meaning rapid absorption.
