INGREDIENTS
Apple Cider Vinegar
Our apple cider vinegar is complete with “the mother”. We use this unfiltered version as it keeps the beneficial bacteria, yeast and protein. It is ripe with B-vitamins and polyphenols (plant-based antioxidants) and includes compounds such as quercetin which can help with absorption and bioavailability.
Black Pepper (Piperine)
We have added black pepper into the paste as it contains the bioactive piperine. Piperine has been shown to help poor digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties – that’s not all… arguably the most important benefit is that it increases absorption and bioavailability of curcumin – some say by up to 2000%!
Cooked Linseed/Flax
Sourced from the UK, we use 100% whole linseed that has been cooked and micronized to provide the highest quality and to optimise digestibility and bioavailability of its nutrients. Linseed is high in oil, ideal to help with absorption of curcumin and is also rich in omegas 3, 6 and 9, and has natural antioxidant properties.
Turmeric
We believe in the whole root rather than just an extract as turmeric is made up of over 200+ compounds that synergistically work together. Our curcumin levels will never be lower than 5.1%. We source from Indonesia rather than India due to quantities of lead being found in some sources of Indian grown turmeric.
Yucca
You may have seen yucca plants in people’s homes as it has become a popular house plant lately! We have added yucca into our TurmerEase as it boosts immunity due to the high amounts of vitamin C and antioxidants, and helps promote a healthy digestive tract by reducing inflammation as it contains anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains saponins which have been shown to decrease arthritis symptoms. It really is a super plant!
