Turmeric Tincture
Turmeric's anti-inflammatory power comes primarily from a group of polyphenols called curcuminoids, with curcumin being the most abundant and well-studied. These compounds work by blocking various biological pathways that trigger swelling and pain.
While curcumin is the "star," turmeric contains several active components that contribute to its health effects:[1, 2, 3, 4]
Curcumin (Diferuloylmethane): Makes up about 2–5% of turmeric and is the primary bioactive ingredient responsible for its bright yellow color and anti-inflammatory properties.
Demethoxycurcumin: One of the three main curcuminoids that works alongside curcumin to inhibit inflammatory enzymes.
Bisdemethoxycurcumin: The third major curcuminoid, known for its chemical stability and similar health-promoting effects.
Turmerones: These are essential oils found in turmeric that may support brain and joint health, sometimes helping to enhance the effects of curcuminoids. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
