Turmeric, the golden gold of our elixirs
Share
If ginger is the star, turmeric is the partner working in the shadows. This golden root colours our elixirs and carries a compound that research loves to study: curcumin.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
Curcumin is reputed for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Meta-analyses have observed a drop in certain inflammation markers and a better antioxidant capacity in people who consume it.
The catch: bioavailability
There's a catch: curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body on its own. The good news? A compound found in black pepper, piperine, markedly improves its absorption. That's why we always suggest a twist of the pepper mill in your golden smoothie.
How to enjoy it every day
No supplements needed: a bit of turmeric in a recipe, a pinch of pepper, some fat alongside, and you're set. Our elixirs bring you a dose, cold-pressed, in every sip.
