Turmeric Extract

Turmeric, a member of the ginger family, is most popularly known as a cooking spice. Turmeric is common in curry powders and is also often used as a substitute for saffron and a coloring for mustard. However, Turmeric has more uses than simply its spicy taste. Chinese and Ayurvedic medical tradition has long used turmeric as a treatment for many conditions. Studies show that the spice is useful in many medical capacities—its anti-inflammatory properties make turmeric excellent for treating both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Turmeric also has anti-fungal properties, and The World Health Organization has recommended its use because studies in China proved that consumption of turmeric as a food seasoning lowered participants’ cholesterol levels.

Scientists have discovered a unique substance in turmeric, called lipopolysacharide, which has shown the ability to heighten the activity and effectiveness of the immune system. Also under investigation is the active ingredient curcumin, which is proven to increase bile production and also helps to purge the gallbladder. Turmeric may also help protect the liver, battle tumors, fight inflammation and even kills some infections entirely.
