Turmeric has been used medicinally for at least 4,000 years and is a popular supplement in Ayurvedic medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant properties.
In addition to promoting healthy skin, turmeric supplements have been proven to support healthy joint function, support a healthy inflammation response, and improve digestion.
Cooking regularly with turmeric offers some important health benefits, but the slightly bitter and slightly hot peppery flavor may not appeal to your taste buds. If you would like to add turmeric supplements to your diet, I suggest you look at Organic India turmeric.
Organic India supplements use turmeric that is organically grown by tribals in Orissa and has been thoroughly tested for heavy metals. The supplement also uses ginger instead of black pepper to improve absorption, since black pepper can irritate the digestive tract.
I have not been taking Organic India’s turmeric supplements for very long, but I do feel like they are helpful in dealing with my chronic joint pain. I like that they don’t have the strange aftertaste that fish oil pills, another common joint pain supplement, often seem to have.
Organic India turmeric supplements are GMO-free, gluten-free, vegan, and kosher. However, you should not use turmeric supplements while pregnant or nursing without seeking a physician. Turmeric can also cause interactions with certain prescription medications, so you should discuss this issue with your doctor if you are already taking one or more daily medications.
There are 90 capsules per bottle. The recommended dose is one capsule, twice per day taken with food and water.
