Turmeric, with its distinctive yellow colour, is familiar to us all as a spice. Did you know that it can also offer various health benefits? Turmeric, also known as koenjit or yellow root, contains the active ingredient curcumin (approximately 3%). In addition, turmeric powder provides small amounts of manganese, iron and vitamin B6, which contribute to the normal functioning of the body. However, the greatest health benefit is attributed to curcumin, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Painful joints and muscles
Turmeric is a spice that has become increasingly well known in recent years for its positive effects on joints and muscles. The active ingredient curcumin is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce muscle pain after exercise. Turmeric is also increasingly being used to relieve pain and inflammation in people with rheumatoid arthritis. source1

Turmeric can also contribute to a stronger immune system. That is why our X-Nutri immune defence supplement is popular during the winter months and after periods of illness, for example among athletes.
