Known for its vibrant golden colour, turmeric has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. While popular in soothing drinks like golden milk or everyday cooking, the best turmeric supplements offer a far more reliable way to unlock its full health benefits.
“Because curcumin is present in such small amounts and is poorly absorbed in its natural form, food sources alone are unlikely to provide a therapeutic benefit, making supplementation the more effective route,” says registered nutritional therapist Georgie Grant.
