Health note: Supplements can interact with medications and may not be appropriate for everyone. If you have a medical condition, take prescription medication, are pregnant or nursing, or are considering a supplement for blood-sugar concerns, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
Turmeric vs curcumin
Turmeric is the plant material; curcuminoids are compounds within it. Supplements vary widely in extract type and concentration.
Bioavailability matters
Different formulations can change absorption. That is another reason not to compare products solely by seeing the word “turmeric” on a sales page.
