Though most of us know and use turmeric as a spice, did you know that it has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years? I recently got to try Turmerex Turmeric. Though it is not exactly a product that you can immediately see working, knowing the health benefits of turmeric is enough for me.
What might those benefits be? Please note, always talk to your doctor if you are taking any medications to be sure this won’t interact with them. These statements have not been FDA approved. You know…you always have to say that when talking about supplements.
Here is a list of 10 health benefits of turmeric
- Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties which can help ease pain due to inflammation.
- Curcumin, which is the active compound in turmeric and gives it the yellow color, has been shown to fight heart disease.
- Turmeric helps support brain health and has been used in Alzheimer’s studies.
- Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and helps combat oxidative stress on the body.
- Curcumin has been used in studies regarding depression with positive results.
- Turmeric can be used to fight heartburn.
- Turmeric can help detoxify your liver.
- Turmeric can help ward off strokes.
- Curcumin may help with weight loss as it stimulates the gallbladder to produce the bile which dissolves fats.
- Turmeric may help with glucose and insulin levels as well, which is another reason to check with your doctor. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely as you may notice them dropping if you take turmeric.
All in all, Turmerex is a great way to get turmeric into your diet. I know I don’t cook with it very often, so to get all of these possible benefits, I need to take it in a pill form.
What supplements have you added to your diets to help your health? Have you noticed benefits from taking them? I would love to hear!
It sounds like something we should all be taking. It sure helps fight off a lot of bad things!
I like that they have really researched it to show that it is really helping and it’s not just like a placebo affect.
I had no idea, I’m trying to maximize my brain power as much as possible.
We could all use a little boost!
Wow, where has this been all my life? Sounds like something definitely worth looking into!

This would be a completely new supplement for me. I haven’t really experimented with supplements so this is interesting!

I’m a huge fan of turmeric! Both my daughter and I take it daily for all of its fabulous health benefits:)
Great! I am glad to know someone who’s been taking it awhile. I may have to ask your advice!
I use turmeric daily. It helps with some digestion issues but I mostly use it for the anti inflammatory properties to help with my arthritis.
Do you think it helps with the pain or just the inflammation? Arthritis really runs in my family.
I really need to start taking this. I try to use turmeric in my smoothies every day and I have also tried golden milk made with turmeric. There are so many health benefits.
I was surprised at how great it is for you!

We cook with it a lot, I had no idea it had health benefits also.
Even more reason to use it, right?
I had no clue that this spice could be used for other things, but I am not surprised as most herbs and spices can be.
Yes, they can be really good for you!
