What is in Turmeric Active Forte?
Jerusalem Artichoke
Helianthus tuberosus L.
Jerusalem artichokes are a good source of many vitamins and minerals while also providing some fiber and protein, rich in iron to give you energy, along with potassium and vitamin B1, which support your muscles and nerves, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
Turmeric
Curcuma longa.
Curcumin is the major component of the herb turmeric. Curcumin is a natural antioxidant that has known anti-inflammatory benefits, which can help reduce joint pain, as well as other possible beneficial healthy side effects on the body. When combined with black pepper, the bio-availability (amount your body absorbs) is increased.
Galangal
Alpinia galanga.
Ayurveda and traditional Chinese and European medicine have used different parts of galangal to treat cold, stomach ache, inflammation, diabetes, ulcers, nausea, diarrhea, eczema, and various acute and chronic conditions. The phytochemicals in it make galangal a strong antioxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory agent.
Black Pepper
Piper nigrum.
People have used pepper in traditional medicine for thousands of years, especially in Ayurveda. Black pepper and its active compound piperine has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and its most significant benefit may be its ability to boost the absorption of curcumin.
Ginger
Zingiber officinale.
Ginger not only adds delicious flavor to food — it’s also full of nutrients and contains antioxidants. People have been using the root for cooking and healing for thousands of years. Today, people still consider ginger a natural way to soothe an upset stomach, and there’s research to back up its health benefits.
Cardamom
Elettaria cardamomum.
Cardamom is an ancient remedy that may have medicinal properties. It may lower blood pressure, improve breathing and aid weight loss. Cardamom has also been regarded to possess infection-fighting properties.
Cinnamon
Cinnamomum verum.
Some studies have suggested that the compounds in cinnamon have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties, and that they might offer protection from cardiovascular disease, among other conditions. However, more evidence is needed to confirm cinnamon’s benefits..
