There's been a lot of excitement in the media recently about popular yellow spice, Turmeric - (curcumin). Turmeric has been used for its spicy properties in cooking and its medicinal qualities for thousands of years. Turmeric comes the root of the Turmeric plant and is part of the broader ginger family.

A 2013 report indicated that Curcumin can reduce inflamation and swelling in the body by blocking the proteins that are the cause inflammation..

Curcumin is the main ingedient in Turmeric and simply put, can reduce wear and tear in your joints. It's more than a spicy flavoring! A study undertaken in 2016 for the Journal of Medicinal Food showed several positive benefits of curcumin in easing the symptoms of arthritis and allowing for increased mobility of the joints.

Most studies of course tend to look at quite high intakes of Curcuminoids, but lower amounts too, can offer benefits.
