People often think turmeric and curcumin are the same things, but it’s like saying an apple tree and an apple are the same things! While they mistakenly site turmeric as having all the benefits, it’s the curcumin extract in the turmeric rhizome that provides the power.
As you start to explore curcumin, you might think this is where the story ends. Look for turmeric grown without pesticides, made in an extraction plant using solar energy, and from India. That should be all you need, right? Not true!
Research shows that the body doesn’t easily absorb plain turmeric or even plain standardized curcumin extracts. Curcumin blended with turmeric essential oil containing turmerones (including ar-turmerone) overcomes this challenge. This valuable addition causes the curcumin to be better absorbed, work longer, and deliver results.
