Lesser-known facts about Turmeric

Turmeric has been part of our food culture and home remedies for centuries. Since ancient ages, turmeric has been our go-to for curing cough, cold, inflammation and injuries. Turmeric has been extensively researched for its benefits in respiratory health, joint health, and immune health by the global scientific community. 

• Curcuminoids are bio-actives present in turmeric which are responsible for its therapeutic action. 
  
  
• Regular Turmeric Powder has only approximately 3% curcuminoids. So large quantities of turmeric need to be consumed daily for gaining its benefit.
  
  
• Turmeric extracts are available in the market with varied concentrations of Curcuminoids. For example, a 95% Turmeric Extract will have 95% concentration of curcuminoids.
  
  
• But even with increased concentration of curcuminoids in turmeric extract, its absorption in the body is still a concern and therefore requires multiple doses (3 capsules a day or 1500mg of curcuminoids).
  
  
• To increase the absorption, a.k.a. bioavailability of turmeric, most manufacturers add synthetic inactive ingredients jeopardising the safety of a natural product for long term use. 

Golden Hug uses TurmXTRA 60N Turmeric extract, which is an all-natural turmeric ingredient with natural excipients. Each Golden Hug capsule has 250mg of TurmXTRA60N which has been clinically valided to be equivalent to 3 capsules of 95% Turmeric Extract (1575 mgs). So, 1-a-day dose is all that is required for gaining optimum benefits of turmeric
