Looking to buy turmeric? At GOYU you choose between two turmeric supplements: organic turmeric capsules with ground root and black pepper, and curcumin extract capsules, standardised to 95% curcumin and also with black pepper. Turmeric (Curcuma longa), also called kurkuma, is the rhizome of a plant from the ginger family. Indian cuisine has used it for thousands of years.
Turmeric capsules or curcumin extract?
- Turmeric capsules: ground organic turmeric root with black pepper (Piper nigrum), 600 mg per capsule. Turmeric as you know it from the kitchen. 80 capsules per jar.
- Curcumin extract capsules: an extract of turmeric root, standardised to 95% curcumin, with black pepper. 155 mg per capsule, 60 capsules per jar.
Curcumin is the substance that gives turmeric its bright yellow colour. Ground root contains only a small percentage of it; in the extract the content is a fixed 95%. And why black pepper? In Indian cuisine, turmeric and black pepper traditionally go together, for example in curries and golden milk. Piperine is the substance that gives black pepper its sharp taste.
Which turmeric suits you?
Want turmeric like the plant itself, organic and as little processed as possible? Choose the turmeric capsules. Looking for a fixed curcumin content per capsule instead? Then the extract is the logical choice. With both you take 1 capsule a day, so there's no difference in convenience. We don't have turmeric powder at the moment, only capsules.
How do you use turmeric?
Follow the dose on the pack: for both products 1 capsule a day with water, preferably with or just after a meal. Keep the jar in a fixed spot, for example next to your coffee or at breakfast, so you don't forget it. If you use both the turmeric capsules and the curcumin extract, check with your GP or pharmacist first. Do you have a liver or gallbladder condition, take medication or are you pregnant? Read the warning on the pack and check with your GP first.
Organic, plant-based and lab tested
The turmeric capsules are organic. Both products come in a plant-based HPMC capsule, are vegan, free of fillers and without artificial additives or preservatives. They are independently tested for quality and purity. Also have a look at our other herbs and superfoods, like ashwagandha and moringa.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Stick to the daily dose on the pack.
