CURCUMIN POWDER 95%

Product Data

 Turmeric consists of dried, as well as, fresh rhizomes of a plant known as Curcuma longa. It has been used for centuries in the Indian traditional system of medicine, as a spice and a natural food color. Turmeric has been used internally as a tonic for the stomach and a blood purifier and externally for the treatment of skin diseases and wound healing.

Curcumin powder is obtained by crystallizing turmeric oleoresin which is prepared by the alcohol extraction of turmeric. Curcumin, the active ingredient present in the turmeric, is responsible for the biological activities of tumeric. It has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-allergic, anti-bacterial and anti-tumor activity. It helps to prevent/retard various cardiovascular, viral and other chronic diseases like arthritis, cancer and AIDS by neutralizing existing free radicals. These properties are clinically proven. In the case of arthritis, best results are observed when Curcumin is used in combination with the extract of Boswellia Serrata.

Recommended dosage is about 500 mg Curcumin Powder per day.
