Curcumin: Boost It or Lose It!
Turmeric Is a Magnificent Hero Root!
It is composed of:
+/- 70% carbohydrates
7% protein
4% minerals
At least 4% essential oils
Vitamins
Other alkaloids
About 1% resin
Turmeric brings us hundreds of molecular constituents, each with a variety of biological activities. One database presented over 326 known biologically active molecules in Turmeric, including:
20 molecules that are antibiotic
12 that are anti-tumour
12 that are anti-inflammatory
10 different antioxidants
At Taka Turmeric Tea, we are 100% committed to presenting the whole package, giving you ingredients as Mother Nature intended. We think of it as accepting the whole package, on every level.
Why We Don't Extract Curcumin from The Turmeric Root
Now, of course, the star of the show is Curcumin. But we reckon our "yella fella" Curcumin would miss his other 325 buddies if we took him away from the rest of the cast. The danger could be that we might stop the show instead of presenting a show-stopper!
We have seen, over and over, that science has a history of attempting to genetically modify nature, only to discover decades later that it wasn’t such a great idea. And by “not great idea” we mean a terrrriiibbbble idea! Perhaps I shouldn’t have said that out loud?
Well, anyway… we believe Nature intended her chemistry to be just so. It is perfect and needs no editing! Admittedly, we do like a bit of alchemy. Both ancient knowledge and modern science back this up. So instead, we choose to add natural ingredients to amplify Nature’s benefits and absorption.
How Do We Give Curcumin the Help It Needs to Heal Us?
We add coconut for the fat factor. See our blog post.
We throw in some Black Pepper to help its absorption into the bloodstream.
We adapt and amplify the taste with other brilliant spices. This is a crazy boost to our recipes and your taste buds.
So, there you are… you know a bit more about our secret synergy. Additionally, we make sure all our products are 100% organic and ethically sourced. Want more? You’ll find it all on the back of our box!
