Buy Turmeric: Curcumin Extracts and Turmeric with Piperine

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a bright yellow rhizome from the ginger family that has traditionally held a prominent place in Asian cuisine and herbal traditions. The rhizome is dried and ground into the well-known yellow powder, which also forms the basis for modern supplements. The characteristic plant substance in turmeric is curcumin, which is responsible for the yellow color and is the substance to which many extracts are standardized.

In our range, you will find turmeric in various forms and dosages, from standardized curcumin extracts and full-spectrum turmeric to combinations with piperine from black pepper. There are also special formulations, such as liposomal and liquid variants. Whether you are looking for a concentrated extract or a broad-spectrum turmeric preparation, there is a suitable choice for every preference.

What is turmeric?

Turmeric is a spice obtained from the rhizome of the Curcuma longa plant, which originates from South Asia. It has been used for centuries as a spice, coloring agent, and in traditional herbal medicine. The bright yellow color comes from a group of plant substances called curcuminoids, of which curcumin is the best known. In supplements, turmeric is used as ground root, as a concentrated extract, or in specially developed formulations.

Curcumin: the characteristic plant substance

Curcumin is the most important curcuminoid in turmeric and forms the basis on which most extracts are standardized. Plain turmeric powder contains only a small percentage of curcumin, while a curcumin extract is highly concentrated and can contain, for example, 95 percent curcuminoids. Standardization indicates how much curcumin a product contains, making it easier to compare products.

Why turmeric is often combined with piperine

Many turmeric supplements are combined with piperine, a substance from black pepper. This combination aligns with the traditional use of turmeric and black pepper together in the kitchen. In our range, you will find various products in which turmeric or curcumin is combined with piperine, as well as products without piperine.

Extract, full spectrum, or special formulation?

Turmeric supplements are available in various versions. A standardized curcumin extract provides a high concentration of curcuminoids per capsule. Full-spectrum turmeric contains the ground root with all its naturally occurring components. There are also special formulations, such as liposomal or liquid variants. The choice depends on your personal preference and the desired curcumin content.

Turmeric capsules or liquid?

Turmeric is available in capsules and in liquid form. Capsules are easy to use, tasteless, and convenient to take with you, with a fixed amount per capsule. Liquid curcumin products are suitable for those who do not want to swallow capsules. The choice between the two forms depends on your personal preference and ease of use.

What to look for when buying turmeric?

When choosing a turmeric supplement, several points are important. Check whether it is ground turmeric, a standardized curcumin extract, or a special formulation, and what curcumin content is stated. Check whether piperine has been added. Decide whether you want capsules or a liquid form, and look at the dosage per serving. Stick to the recommended daily amount on the packaging, and if in doubt or if you are taking medication, seek advice from a doctor or therapist beforehand.
