It is to that vivid yellow-orange pigment (curcumin) that potent therapeutic properties of Turmeric are attributed.
Curcumin is powerfully antioxidant (much more so than Vitamin C or E) and this ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes contribute to its role in helping to prevent or alleviate an impressive array of conditions. This includes many cancers, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease and liver ailments.
