Organic Turmeric
Organic Ginger
Organic Cayenne
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon
Piperine

These four powerful spices can accentuate their effects when taken together. Let’s first look at Turmeric and how it is activated with black pepper.

Organic Turmeric:
Turmeric grows in Asia, central America and also in South Africa.

It gives curry it’s yellow colour and has been used in traditional Indian medicine for 1000s of years to treat various health conditions. Turmeric is highly recommended for inflammatory disease, and it switches on your genes – But coupling it with black pepper may enhance it’s effects.

Both turmeric and black pepper have key active ingredients that contribute to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease fighting qualities.

The key compound in turmeric is curcumin. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant, as well as having potent antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. However, it’s greatest downfall is that it’s not well absorbed in the body.

Therefore, black pepper, which contains the bioactive compound, piperine, is added to turmeric in order to enhance absorption in the body by up to 2000 %. Firstly, piperine makes it easier for curcumin to pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, and secondly, it may slow down the breakdown of curcumin by the liver. Piperine is a potent inhibitor of drug metabolism, and it works by protecting curcumin from the digestive enzymes in our gut. For example, the liver gets rid of foreign substances by making them water-soluble so that they can be excreted, and piperine can inhibit this process so that curcumin is not excreted. This explains how piperine can help to make curcumin more bioavailable in our body and allow for a longer absorption into our bloodstream where it is needed the most. Now you know why black pepper is so important when added to our Turmeric powder!

Just a few benefits of Turmeric:

• Curcumin activates receptor signals within cancer cells to initiate cell death.
• Curcumin only selectively kills tumor cells; normal cells remain unaffected.
• Help improve memory performance.
• Reduce pain from arthritis.
• Fights free radicals by neutralizing them.
• May increase levels of serotonin and dopamine which helps to regulate mood and depression.

Now let’s look at the other three components in our Turmeric capsules:

Organic Ginger

Ginger is a plant that originated in Southeast Asia. It’s among the healthiest, and most delicious spices on the planet. It’s closely related to turmeric and galangal. The main bioactive compound in ginger is Gingerol and it’s responsible for much of ginger’s medicinal properties. The alleviation of nausea (especially morning sickness), arthritis and pain, have been associated with the gingerols. Gingerols exhibit a host of biological activities, ranging from anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory, which may help reduce oxidative stress. Importantly, gingerols have an important part to play in counteracting obesity and diabetes. Weight loss occurs because the gingerols increase the number of calories burned. Gingerols have potential antiviral properties against respiratory tract infections and can help with osteoarthritis. Ginger may also be an effective remedial for stomach ulcers because it inhibits the growth of H. pylori bacteria in the gut. Importantly, it has been found to target inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract and block damage. Oxidative stress and inflammation are common factors that contribute to ageing and the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Dementia, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Degenerative disease refers to a disease that occurs when cells and tissues lose their ability to optimally function. Ginger has been shown to delay the onset of these degenerative diseases. The two major active components of ginger, 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol, are essential for preventing oxidative stress and inflammation. Ginger has a high capacity to scavenge free radicals, indicating its potent antioxidant activity.

Organic Cayenne

Cayenne contains incredible medicinal properties. Capsicum is the main active ingredient in these beautiful red chillies. Cayenne pepper is a powerful plant with many uses, and it is most famous for its cleansing and detoxifying properties. It stimulates circulation and neutralizes acidity. Cayenne has been used for a variety of ailments including indigestion, confusion, tremors, sore throat, fever and gout.

Benefits of Cayenne Pepper:

• Clears congestion by breaking up mucus.
• Resists harmful bacteria.
• Headache relief: Cayenne is a common way to treat pain and inflammation, a popular choice because of the main component called capsicum. This helps by inhibiting something called Substance P in our body, which is responsible for pain perception. Substance P makes us feel pain, but the capsicum depletes it.
• Stimulates digestive tract.
• Helps stimulate the production of saliva which contains digestive enzymes to digest carbohydrates.
• Promotes cardiovascular health by supporting good blood circulation.
• Cayenne stimulates the circulatory system and increases the pulse of lymphatic and digestive rhythms. The heat of the cayenne enhances the natural process of detoxification.
• Soothes joint discomfort.

Organic Cinnamon

Ceylon Cinnamon, the eternal tree of tropical medicine, belongs to the Lauraceae family. Cinnamon is one of the most important spices used daily by people all over the world. Cinnamon primarily contains vital oils and other derivatives, such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate. In addition to being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular-disease-lowering compound, cinnamon has also been reported to have activities against neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Benefits of Cinnamon:

• It contains plant compounds with protective antioxidant properties.
• It has anti-inflammatory effects.
• It appears to be useful in defending against infection.
