Often considered as one of the most powerful herbs on the planet, turmeric is the yellow-orange powdered spice that gives curry its bright yellow color, which is why it is often called the "Golden Spice." Years of research have gone into exploring this herb's incredible health benefits, making turmeric one of the most studied botanicals in modern science. These health benefits have been backed by scientific evidence time and time again, especially those tied to one of its most renowned healing compounds – curcumin.
Turmeric root comes from the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), a member of the ginger family that grows wild in Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent and Hawaii. There, turmeric plants thrive in the humid, tropical climates to produce the potent curcumin-packed spice that we all know and love. Turmeric has also been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicines for thousands of years.
A single serving (1/4 teaspoon) of Health Ranger's Organic Turmeric Gold Liquid Extract equals 550 mg of raw turmeric root, making it a convenient way to incorporate turmeric into your daily routine. This formula doesn't have the overwhelming aftertaste commonly associated with turmeric. Instead, it has a slightly sweet curry flavor.
