Turmeric is often called nature’s medicine cabinet. Used for over 4,000 years in Ayurveda and now validated by modern science, turmeric is praised for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immune-supporting properties.

Influences blood clotting and sugar levels
Affects stomach acid and mineral absorption
