Woods Supplements Turmeric 500mg

Turmeric is best known as the key ingredient in curries, but it has also recently been found to have amazing health benefits. Turmeric has been used in Asian medicine for thousands of years and in recent years has been widely researched for it's therapeutic properties in the western world. Turmeric does indeed have many potential health benefits. Yet the key compound for good health in turmeric is curcumin which has very poor bioavailability which means the body immediately eliminates all the beneficial molecules. Turmeric contains just 3% active curcumin. To get the benefits of Turmeric from meals, a vast amount would need to be eaten regularly - ‘all the curry in India’ is an exaggeration but you get the idea. 
Constant assessment and development of Woods Turmeric 500mg formula by our nutrition team and medical science colleagues ensures the maximum amount of beneficial curcumin is contained within every Turmeric capsule we provide. The problems of bioavailability within cooking are overcome by the targeted and intensely rich extract of curcumin we use.
