Turmeric, also known as curcuma longa, has long been known for its health benefits and medicinal qualities in treating a host of physical symptoms and ailments. However, turmeric extracts have more recently been recognized in the medical and alternative community for reducing inflammation within the body, and for easing the joint pain and swelling that accompany osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Turmeric is a spice, native to Southern Asia, grown in root form. It is the most common ingredient in curry – used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, and is easily recognized for its deep golden color, which comes from curcumin (curcuma longa).
A member of the ginger family and amazing natural resource, turmeric has been used over centuries for its therapeutic antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory ingredients and herbal compounds. Its uses date back to 600 BC when indigenous Indian, Native American and Asian populations incorporated turmeric into homeopathic, naturopathic, ayurvedic, traditional treatments and practices to treat a wide variety of physical ailments and diseases.
One of the most important aspects of nutrition is not necessarily what we eat, but what parts of our food we actually absorb into our bodies. Perhaps the adage should be changed from, “You are what you eat” to “You are what you absorb!”
Nature has developed a method for forming microscopic structures in our digestive tract to ensure that important nutrition is turned into a form that can be absorbed and utilized in our bodies.
Imagine that you just took a big spoonful of yellow curry and are enjoying the flavor but also happy about the curcumins it will provide. Once it reaches your stomach, those very oily curcuminoids form large fat bubbles in your stomach. Of course, it is impossible for your body to absorb this large bubble directly into your blood for distribution into your body, so your digestive system breaks it up into smaller and smaller bubbles. Even when these bubbles are tiny, our bodies cannot absorb them. At this point, your stomach wraps up the bubbles with other ingredients called “phospholipids” and makes a micelle.
The tiny micelles (single-walled liposomes) are then absorbed at very high rates into the blood. Unfortunately, only a small portion of the nutrition we consume makes it all the way to this liposomal nanotechnology and is absorbed.
Liquid turmeric is the absolute best way to get the full benefit for absorption and guarantee no heavy metals.
