Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory supplement but read tips/cautions below
Turmeric is a very popular supplement right now and with good reason. It reduces inflammation and is a powerful antioxidant. (That said, it's not for everyone. It can thin the blood and be dangerous for anyone prone to bleeding, awaiting surgery, prone to gallstones, taking warfarin, etc. If in doubt, do some research or talk to your doctor before trying turmeric.) It's also important to know that black pepper makes turmeric more bio-available to the body. It's a good idea to add a small amount of black pepper to anything you make with turmeric. I like to make a turmeric tea by boiling water and adding a few teaspoons of this powder with some grated fresh ginger, fresh lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. I also make golden milk by heating milk/coconut milk/almond milk and adding a few teaspoons of turmeric with 1/8 tsp black pepper and some honey or agave. There are countless recipes online or on Pinterest for turmeric tea, golden milk and other creative ways to use turmeric. This particular brand of turmeric is reasonably priced and seems to be very high quality.
