SwansonTurmeric & Black Pepper

Turmeric is a yellow-colored root derived from the Curcuma longa plant, which belongs to the ginger family. The root is dried and ground into powder, and it is best known as a spice in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Turmeric is also known as yellow root and is often used in curries and spicy dishes.

Black pepper naturally contains piperine, a substance that is often combined with turmeric in food. This combination is common in traditional cuisines because it deepens the flavor and helps the spices work well together. In this supplement, black pepper is added because it can support the absorption of turmeric in the body.

'Full spectrum' means that the entire root part of the plant (the rhizome) is used instead of only a specific extract. This preserves all the original, naturally present substances in the form in which they occur in the plant. No selection or processing has been applied to isolate individual components.

Yes, curcuminoids are naturally occurring substances in turmeric. They are part of the total profile of the powder. This supplement uses whole turmeric powder, but there is no standardized amount of curcuminoids indicated on the label.

There is no difference: turmeric and yellow root are two names for the same plant, Curcuma longa. The term 'yellow root' is mainly used in the Netherlands, while 'turmeric' comes from English and is known worldwide.
