I will explain what turmeric is, what its benefits are, what its dosage is and a focus on athletes and the use of turmeric. Contents [Show] What is Turmeric?

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) or Turmeric is a plant, a yellow spice that has been very well known in Asia for a few thousand years. Native to the South East, it is grown in China, Indonesia, India and Sri Lanka, for example. This spice (and more particularly the rhizome) is widely used in the culinary field nowadays (as a unit or in a mixture such as curry).

Turmeric perfumes, colours (in yellow), corrects acidity, but is also used as an active ingredient in food supplements and dietary products in the health, wellness and sports sectors. Indeed, its virtues are numerous and it acts on different spheres: cardiovascular, articular, intestinal, hepatic (detoxification)... muscular.

This spice has two interesting properties for the body: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Qualitatively, a distinction can be made between dried turmeric powder used for cooking and titrated turmeric extract. In the first, the active molecules, curcuminoids (phenolic compounds) including curcumin, represent between 5 and 8% of the total powder. On the other hand, a titrated turmeric extract is an extract in which curcuminoids are found in greater quantities following an industrial process (with extracts titrated to more than 80% curcuminoids%) with the advantage of increased and significant effects on the body compared to powder. Note: Ground turmeric is a source of iron and manganese.
