Turmeric<br />
A flowering plant in the ginger family, turmeric has long been used as an<br />
anti-inflammatory agent and in wound healing.<br />
Current research shows that the active ingredient, curcumin, is responsible<br />
<strong>for</strong> some of the benefits of turmeric. While adding turmeric to food every<br />
day is a good strategy, using 400-600 mg of supplemental turmeric extract 3x<br />
per day (or as described on the product label) is probably more manageable<br />
<strong>for</strong> most people.
