Turmeric, also known as curcuma or yellow root, is the spice that gives curry its distinctive yellow color. It has been used in India for thousands of years and is considered a medicinal herb.

Curcumin has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it enhances the body's antioxidant capacity by activating specific enzymes in the body.

In other words, it has a dual antioxidant effect:

• It directly inhibits the action of free radicals and neutralizes them, reducing oxidative stress.
• It activates the body's antioxidant capacity.

To increase the absorption of curcumin, it is recommended to consume it together with black pepper extract, which contains piperine.
