Turmeric powder contains compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very potent antioxidant. Turmeric powder has been safely used for centuries in India and Asia, demonstrating its versatility.
It is mainly cultivated in Peru. Turmeric is an Asian plant considered magical due to its organoleptic characteristics and its undeniable therapeutic and protective properties, particularly for the liver and skin. In the Peruvian high jungle, it grows more abundantly due to the fertility of the soil; the rhizomes are larger and have a higher content of curcuminic acid. In the lowland forest, it grows on clay-loamy soils (beaches) that have been fertilized during the rising of the rivers, leaving the land clear during low water.
Benefits of Turmeric Powder:
  
It is anti-inflammatory: The Arthritis Foundation cites several studies where turmeric reduced inflammation. This anti-inflammatory ability could help reduce pain experienced by people with arthritis. The foundation suggests taking 400 to 600 milligrams (mg) of turmeric capsules up to three times a day to relieve inflammation.
  
It can relieve pain: Studies seem to support turmeric's ability to relieve pain, and one of them indicates that it seemed to work as well as ibuprofen (Advil) in people with knee arthritis. Although dosage recommendations seem to vary, study participants took 800 mg of turmeric in a capsule every day.
  
It improves liver function: Turmeric has recently attracted attention due to its antioxidant abilities. The antioxidant effect of turmeric appears to be so powerful that it can prevent damage to your liver from toxins. This could be good news for people taking powerful medications for diabetes or other health conditions that could damage their liver due to prolonged use.
  
It may help reduce the risk of developing cancer: Curcumin acts as a potent anti-inflammatory. Studies suggest it has protective effects against abnormal cells.
Usage: It is recommended to consume 2 g (1 teaspoon) per day. In water, juices, smoothies, or desserts. To be consumed with the same amount of sacha inchi or coconut oil.
