The Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric, the golden spice with a thousand virtues. Discover its benefits and daily uses.
Turmeric, an ancient spice
Used for over 4000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, turmeric is much more than a cooking spice. Its active compound, curcumin, has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Proven benefits of turmeric
Scientific research has identified many benefits:
- Anti-inflammatory: reduces chronic inflammation markers
- Antioxidant: protects cells from oxidative stress
- Digestive: stimulates bile production
- Neuroprotective: may prevent cognitive decline
- Cardioprotective: improves endothelial function
- Pain relief: effective against joint pain
How to maximize absorption?
Curcumin is poorly absorbed alone. To increase bioavailability by 2000%, combine it with black pepper (piperine) and fat (coconut oil, milk). That's exactly our Golden Latte recipe!
Our turmeric drinks
At Granola Geneva, we prepare an authentic Golden Latte: warm oat milk, fresh turmeric, black pepper, ginger and a touch of honey.
