Dietary Supplement Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw's Turmeric Root Power enables you to get all the curcuminoids plus much more, because it uses whole ground turmeric. Did you know that there are additional bioactive compounds in turmeric, other than the curcuminoids? And they're all good for you. Also, it's been reported that curcumin has low bioavailability, and that may be true. However, it is interesting to note that one formulation, claiming the highest curcumin bioavailability, first extracts curcumin from whole turmeric leaving the natural essential oils behind, and then mixes the oils back in! When you cut a piece of fresh turmeric, your hands turn yellow, an indication that there is good bioavailability, because skin has evolved to be highly resistant to penetration by foreign substances. Also, if you're taking whole turmeric, your stool does not turn yellow. Proof again! To add higher levels of curcumin and all of turmeric's bioactive ingredients to their supplement program, life extension scientists Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw take whole ground turmeric, and now you can do the same.
