Natures Aid® Turmeric is a unique combination providing both an extract with a high curcumin content PLUS a whole herb turmeric.Curcumin and turmeric are often spoken about as if they are the same thing, but this is not the case. Curcumin is just one component of the whole turmeric herb. Turmeric actually provides over 200 different, potentially beneficial, compounds. Some medical herbalists prefer to use whole herb products, whilst others suggest that high curcumin extracts are best – Natures Aid® Turmeric is therefore the best of both worlds.
