What is turmeric good for? Turmeric is a root in the ginger family and contains so-called curcuminoids. These are the yellow pigments found in turmeric. The best known is curcumin, a polyphenol that has been shown to be suitable for joint problems and can also counteract inflammation as it is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory substances available and it is also a strong antioxidant. It can also strengthen and improve digestion, support healthy liver function, regulate blood sugar levels, be purifying the blood, and much more!
I love taking the Turmeric Strength for Whole Body supplement from Mega Food; it contains both vitamin C and turmeric and is specially formulated to support the whole body.
It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system but also protects the cells from oxidative stress. It also helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion and is essential for the normal function of the skin. It can also increase the body’s production of three essential antioxidants: glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase.
Turmeric generally has relatively low bioavailability, but piperine, black pepper extract found in Turmeric Strength for Whole Body from MegaFood significantly increases availability. It contains whole turmeric and curcumin combined with piperine for maximum bioavailability and vitamin C, holy basil, and berries to get maximum absorption of all curcuminoids. It is free of pesticides and heavy metals.
Another dietary supplement that I also love is Q10 from Innate Response. Q10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a coenzyme found in cells vital for energy supply; it also contains beetroot, broccoli, and spinach and is free from wheat, milk, soy, corn, pesticides, and magnesium stearate.
CoQ10 from Innate Response contains complementary food extracts. ALL BODY CELLS NEED Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for energy production. As the cells’ energy decreases, they die faster, and the aging process is accelerated. CoQ10 also acts as an antioxidant and counteracts free radicals. Several new studies show the importance of CoQ10 to prolong life and improve the cell’s ability to produce energy.
As the level of CoQ10 decreases, the production of harmful free radicals increases, leading to the cell dying faster, and researchers at Columbia University Medical Center in New York have shown that the degree of coQ10 deficiency in cells directly correlates with excess free radical production and cell death. If the ability of the heart muscle cells to produce energy deteriorates, it can eventually lead to problems with heart failure.
