Turmeric: What it is and its benefits

Turmeric, ginger, clove, and probiotics – 15 active products in the “Stomach, Intestines & Digestive Health” section, available in capsules, teas, and oils. The flagship product here is Kamin Chan Turmeric capsules. Alongside, you'll find cold-pressed coconut oil, if you need a fat to accompany the spice in your kitchen.

Turmeric is the dried and ground rhizome of Curcuma longa, a plant from the ginger family. The rhizome contains curcuminoids, essential oils, and bitter compounds: in Indian and Thai traditions, it is added to food as a warming spice and consumed to support digestion.

Curcumin is not synonymous with turmeric, but rather one substance from the group of curcuminoids; in ground spice, they make up only a few percent of the mass, the rest being starch, fiber, and minerals. Curcuminoids are poorly soluble in water, which is why turmeric is often prepared with fat and black pepper. For gastritis, ulcers, and gallstone disease, the decision to take it should be made by a healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Turmeric: health benefits and potential drawbacks

Benefits are associated with digestive support and the antioxidant properties of curcuminoids. Potential drawbacks may occur with excessive use: large doses on an empty stomach can irritate the stomach, and in cases of gallstone disease, turmeric may increase bile flow. Concentrated forms are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

How to take turmeric?

In capsules – follow the dosage on the packaging, take with food and water. As a spice – a quarter to half a teaspoon in a dish, always with fat: this helps curcuminoids absorb better.
