Product Description

Constituents of Turmeric:

         Scientifically known as Curcuma Longa, turmeric is a special herb grown in South East Asia.  It has two key therapeutic components namely turmerone and curcumin.  Turmerone is a compound found in turmeric which stimulates neural stem cells and is very effective when patients with neural impairment are treated using it.  Turmeric is the future medicine for sufferers of strokes and Alzheimer’s.  Curcumin is a strong anti-inflammatory agent and it is the one which gives turmeric its magical-powers.  It is the only bioactive substance that has no side effects and fights inflammation at the molecular level.  This curcumin only gives the yellow color to the turmeric powder.
