Turmeric Pills

Turmeric offers more antioxidant properties than other spices, but it can still be challenging to consume enough of the spice to get these benefits. CVS carries a variety of turmeric pills that contain a measured amount of turmeric in a concentrated form. Pills are beneficial because they enable you to easily consume the amount of turmeric you need and release it quickly in your body. Even in a more concentrated dose, curcumin can have a low bioavailability, meaning it doesn't get absorbed quickly by the body. Some pills make use of processes that improve bioavailability, including: 

• Pairing turmeric with black pepper 

• Using fermented turmeric 

• Blending curcuminoids and turmeric essential oil 

These processes can result in significant increases in bioavailability over standard turmeric, which may improve the effects of the supplement. 

Turmeric supplements contain bioactive compounds that can help support general wellness. Turmeric is sometimes used in diet supplements, but people most frequently seek turmeric for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants intercept free radicals, which can cause cell damage or premature cell aging. Turmeric and curcumin can also have anti-inflammatory effects, which can support joint health and may relieve joint pain. Adding turmeric to your daily supplements may help relieve symptoms of chronic inflammation. 

Many people take turmeric vitamins or supplements on their own to help negate oxidative stress and inflammation. However, these potential benefits often result in turmeric's inclusion in other supplements. Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength + Turmeric is a supplement designed to help improve joint health and cartilage maintenance, and it uses turmeric for its anti-inflammatory effects. Purely Inspired Turmeric Lean is a diet supplement that uses turmeric and ALA to support a healthy weight-loss plan. Turmeric itself is rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6.
