Turmeric Curcumin Capsules

Turmeric (also known as curcuma or yellow root) is a tuber-like plant from the ginger family. It originally comes from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia and India, where it has been used in Ayurvedic practice for over 5,000 years. Its characteristic plant compound is called curcumin and gives the tuber its typical yellow color.

Piperine is the main constituent of black pepper and gives it its pungency. Well documented scientifically: piperine significantly improves the bioavailability of curcumin. Without piperine, a large part of the curcumin is not absorbed by the body. With piperine, it enters the metabolism much more effectively – which is why this combination is standard in high-quality turmeric products.

Papain (an enzyme from the papaya fruit) and spirulina (a nutrient-rich microalga) further improve the bioavailability of curcumin. Together with piperine, this creates a well-thought-out bioavailability complex that delivers more active ingredient per capsule into your metabolism – a clear advantage over competing products without this combination.

Kurkuma (this product) is the pure turmeric variant with piperine, papain and spirulina to improve bioavailability. Kurkuma & Weihrauch is a combination of turmeric and standardized frankincense extract (65% boswellic acids) – two traditional plants in one capsule. The choice depends on whether you want pure turmeric or are looking for the combination with frankincense.
