Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a botanical dietary supplement formulation used as a nutritive tonic by many different people to support health, wellness, and systemic fortification.
The main health benefits of this formulation are antioxidant defense, joint comfort, immune support, and maintaining healthy cardiovascular function.
Turmeric contains unique constituents called curcuminoids and volatile oils that naturally support the functioning and health of various systems, organs, glands, and tissues. It is harvested utilizing both fresh and dried organic roots for the cultivation of comprehensive biological activity.
Application for Lifestyles
The continuous consumption of the constituents in this formulation, as part of a well-balanced complete meals program, are used to support, promote, and maintain many different aspects of daily lifestyles.
Nutritional Biochemistry and Mechanism
Textbook Excerpt: Systemic Mechanisms
This formulation promotes cellular fortification and maintains tissue integrity during periods of physical exertion and metabolic activity. A nutritive tonic grounds the bodily systems by maintaining stable biochemical processes and promoting balanced antioxidant levels.
Turmeric roots contain unique constituent compounds, specifically curcuminoids and polyphenols, that interact with the body's cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. During periods of physical wear, the body utilizes these constituents to support a balanced immune response and promote the healthy metabolism of tissues.
Furthermore, utilizing both fresh and dried turmeric roots provides a complete spectrum of volatile oils and concentrated curcumin. These constituents neutralize free radicals to protect epidermal and epithelial structures from oxidative stress. These botanical constituents must be consumed with a density of nutrients from a complete diet to provide the essential components for these biochemical processes to work.

Dosages and Handling
To find a functional dose, start with a minimum dose of 10 drops to 1 dropper and work up. The continuous overconsumption of this supplement is not recommended without proper nutrient density from complete meals.
Liquid Extract and Tincture Dosage: 10 drops to 1-3 droppers @ 1-3+ times per day (167 – 1,500 milligrams daily).
- 60 1ml droppers in a 2oz (60ml) bottle
- 1ml dropper = ~500 mgs formula extract
- 30 drops in a 1ml dropper
- 1 drop = ~17 mgs formula extract
- Shake gently: Secure the lid and turn the bottle over back-and-forth 3-5 times to evenly distribute the liquid extract. Vigorous shaking oxidizes the volatile constituents and reduces biological activity.
- By mouth: Hold the liquid under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing, or mix the drops into 2-4 oz of lukewarm water. Hot water will catabolize the fragile volatile compounds.
- Timing: Best taken with meals to aid assimilation. May be consumed anytime throughout the day.
Questions and Answers
Why do you use both fresh and dried turmeric root?
The combined constituents from these botanicals support the functioning and health of various systems, organs, glands, and tissues. While dried turmeric provides a concentrated source of curcuminoids, the fresh root preserves fragile volatile oils and antioxidant constituents that are frequently compromised during the drying process.
Does this extract contain black pepper?
No. A proper multi-step hydro-alcoholic extraction preserves the curcuminoids and volatile oils in fluid suspension for maximum absorption, without requiring the addition of piperine. Individuals may still choose to consume their turmeric dose alongside black pepper if they desire.
Will this supplement cause any undesired outcomes or adverse events if taken with other products?
Supplements are food added to the diet. Generally, this formulation may be taken with other dietary supplements. However, if someone has a diagnosed disease or health-condition, they must consult with a healthcare professional, since a supplement cannot self-treat or manage diseases.
