First of all: What is turmeric and what is curcumin?
So, turmeric is a root. When ground into a powder, it becomes a spice that turns your curries (and probably your white shirts) a beautiful golden yellow. It also has a number of health benefits, from supporting digestion to being anti-inflammatory.
But – here it comes curcumin, the main "star" inside turmeric. It's that super active ingredient that supposedly reduces inflammation, acts as an antioxidant, and supposedly does almost everything except wash dishes. (1*)
Important: Regular turmeric contains very little curcumin – barely 2-5%. So you would have to eat half a bag of turmeric a day if you really wanted to feel the effects with just a tablespoon. Which... isn't exactly practical, is it? (1*)
here it comes..
Elixiré Immuno Booster Curcumin – your ally in yellow!
If you are looking for a proven, effective and modern form of curcumin, then liposomal dietary supplement is the
- Curcumin is incorporated into liposomes – this means your body is actually absorbing it
- Enriched with vitamin C, and vitamin D3 – for comprehensive support of your immune system
- It works anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and helps reduce fatigue
All ingredients are carefully selected, without unnecessary additives – just what your body needs!
The combination of the natural power of curcumin and key micronutrients makes this supplement an excellent choice during times of stress, seasonal illnesses, or when your immune system needs a boost.
So which is more effective – turmeric or curcumin?
If you want a strong effect – say for painful joints, inflammation or better immunity – then it is standardized curcumin the right choice. But beware! Curcumin itself is very poorly absorbed by your body. The body quickly metabolizes it and takes it away before it can do anything. (1*)
That's why there are quite a few clever tricks used today for better absorption:
- addition piperine (from black pepper) – increases absorption by up to 2000% (2*)
- liposomal or phospholipid formulas (sounds complicated, but it means: curcumin that "sticks" nicely to your body)
- microencapsulation – mini protective bubbles to get the curcumin where you need it
What are the benefits of curcumin?
Curcumin is not just a fad. Science is on his side.Numerous studies confirm that:
- alleviates inflammation (even the ones you don't see - the silent enemy of modern times) (1)
- works as antioxidant, which means it protects your cells from harmful free radicals (1)
- helps with joint pain (1)
- supports digestion and can even help with a bad mood (1)
We don't call it "golden health" for nothing.
Turmeric stays cool (even in the kitchen!)
Just because curcumin is winning the dietary supplement game doesn't mean we have to say goodbye to turmeric. Quite the opposite! Add it to golden smoothies, curries, oatmeal, and the legendary golden milk.
But if your body currently needs extra support (say due to stress, sports activity or chronic problems), then it is curcumin in a more concentrated form the one who really makes a difference.
Conclusion: The golden choice for your health – with the help of Elixiré
Turmeric and curcumin are not the same thing, but they are both important links in the health story. While turmeric adds warmth and color to the kitchen, curcumin—especially in its highly bioavailable form—can help with inflammation, fatigue, and immune system support.
