What is turmeric / curcumin?
Curcumin is the main active compound in turmeric (haldi). It's poorly absorbed on its own, so supplements add piperine (black pepper extract) or use special forms. Trials suggest it can ease joint pain and stiffness, similar to some pain relievers in mild cases.
Forms. Curcumin with piperine, phytosome and other enhanced forms. Plain turmeric powder contains only about 3% curcumin.

Common questions

Turmeric in food is healthy, but it gives far less curcumin than a supplement.
Why piperine?
It increases how much curcumin your body absorbs.
Can I take it with blood thinners?
Ask your doctor first.
