Turmeric Gummies from Himalaya

Do you love turmeric but don't feel like taking capsules? These turmeric gummies from Himalaya contain 300 mg of Curcuma longa rhizome extract per daily dose of two gummies. The extract is standardised to 95% curcuminoids, so you get 285 mg of curcuminoids daily. The gummies taste like mango and are made with fruit pectin instead of gelatin.

What turmeric and curcuminoids are

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant in the ginger family. The part you know from the kitchen is the rhizome, the tuberous underground stem that, when dried and ground, produces the well-known yellow powder. That yellow colour comes from curcuminoids, a group of plant compounds of which curcumin is the best known. Regular turmeric powder contains only a few per cent curcuminoids. What many people don't know is that this is why supplement manufacturers often choose an extract. At 95%, the extract consists almost entirely of curcuminoids. In short: you don't have to stir spoonfuls of turmeric into your food to get this amount.

What you should know about turmeric

Under European regulations, we are only allowed to say a few things about turmeric. Turmeric may contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system*. And turmeric may contribute to the maintenance of healthy skin*. In Ayurveda (traditional Indian herbal medicine), turmeric has been highly valued for thousands of years, and Himalaya has been working with it as an Indian herbal brand since 1930. Many people wonder whether you should take turmeric with food. Himalaya does not specify a fixed time for these gummies, so you can choose what best suits your day.

Gummy instead of capsule

The difference with most turmeric supplements lies in the form. While most brands opt for capsules or tablets, Himalaya made turmeric gummies that you simply chew, without a glass of water. Turmeric extract has a strong, slightly bitter taste, which makes a gummy difficult. Himalaya masks that with natural mango flavouring, brown rice syrup and sugar. The gummies are vegan, gluten-free and contain no artificial colours: the orange colour simply comes from the turmeric itself. Good to know: sugar and rice syrup are the main ingredients, so take them into account if you are monitoring your sugar intake. And because this is a concentrated extract, it is advisable not to use other turmeric or curcumin supplements at the same time.

With 60 turmeric gummies in the jar, you have a one-month supply. A simple way to get to know the yellow root from Indian cuisine in a different form. By the way: the jar is made of recyclable PET, so after use it can simply go in the plastic waste.
