In this post, I will try to explain the difference between turmeric and curcumin. At the end of this post, you should have a better understanding of what turmeric is, and what curcumin is. You will also learn about the benefits of turmeric as well as the benefits of curcumin.<\/p>\n

So let’s begin…<\/p>\n

What is Turmeric?<\/h2>\n

Turmeric, known by its scientific name, Curcuma Longa, is a rhizome. By definition, a rhizome is “a rootlike subterranean stem, commonly horizontal in position, that usually produces roots below and sends up shoots progressively from the upper surface.” Source: dictionary.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Turmeric is similar to ginger in form and family, but different in color, smell, origin, phytochemistry, and a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

What is Curcumin?<\/h2>\n

Curcumin\u00a0 is an important part of turmeric that gives it its bright yellow color. Curcumin, also referred to as curcuminoid, is widely used in the food industry for food coloring (curry anyone?) and aroma. Curcumin has a lot of health benefits besides its use as a coloring agent in food.\u00a0 Recent studies suggest that a highly bioavailable curcumin is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory and the benefits don’t stop there.<\/p>\n

So, What’s The Difference Between Turmeric and Curcumin?<\/h2>\n

Logically, there is no difference between these two. Turmeric is the rhizome and curcumin is a component of this rhizome\u00a0 that gives it it’s distinct yellow color. A big chunk of the benefits associated with turmeric curcumin come from curcuminoids contained in turmeric. To explain a little further: turmeric is a plant, and inside this plant, there is a natural chemical component called curcumin\/curcuminoids.<\/p>\n

Turmeric Curcumin Benefits<\/h2>\n

Curcuminoids in its natural form is poorly absorbed by the body. A highly bioavailable curcumin, however, is the real deal. Old and new studies suggests that turmeric curcumin can be used to effectively treat “psoriasis, various tumors, wound healing and also [] neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease.” Source: https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/19491031<\/span><\/p>\n

Turmeric Curcumin Composition<\/h2>\n

A lot of studies nowadays tend to focus more on the curcumin alone as though that’s the only important part of turmeric. One could after all argue that curcuminoid is the most important component of turmeric. Research also showed that the whole rhizome holds a lot more health benefits than initially thought. Do you know turmeric curcumin has over 200 confirmed nutrients \/ health benefits?<\/p>\n
