2. what is curcuma?
Curcuma is a tropical mountain plant. It is also known as turmeric along with curcuma and belongs to the ginger family. Its taste is somewhat similar to ginger, but it tastes rather mildly spicy and slightly bitter. The curcuma plant is found in Southeast Asia and India and grows to about one meter in height. Curcuma contains the plant substance curcumin. This plant substance gives the plant its yellow-orange colour. Curcumin has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect.

3. what effect does curcuma have on the organism?
Curcumin has a strong antioxidant effect. It protects the human organism from the inside. Antioxidants from the root keep the body in balance. In the process of energy production, free radicals are created, which kill off sick and old cells, thus making room for new ones. Thus, turmeric is effective against all kinds of diseases such as osteoarthritis. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect of curcuma accelerates muscle regeneration and is ideal for athletes.
4. curcuma in the form of food supplements
Curcuma is offered in the form of capsules and tablets. Naturally, turmeric is also sold as a powder. These forms are easy to handle and enter the circulation quickly. However, turmeric tablets are sold in pharmacies, which in many cases contain artificial additives or are made overseas. Curcuma capsules often contain only the active ingredient in a vegetable cellulose shell and can therefore be produced without fillers. In general, it should always be ensured that the product has been produced in Germany in order to guarantee a consistently high preparation quality.
