It's also suppose to ward off cancers. There's also many other good spices that are extremely healthy. I do take this one though. So, turmeric has been used as a substitute for saffron (an old world spice) in Europe for over 700 years.
One of the main healthful ingredients in turmeric is curcumin (a curcuminoid), which gives turmeric its yellow color.
Western scientists first isolated the curcumin molecule in 1815, obtained its crystalline form in 1870, and determined its overall structure in 1910.
Curcumin can potentially benefit you by:
Promoting your immune system against stress*
Helping maintain your healthy digestive system* Supporting your healthy bones, joints, and overall skeletal system* Helping you maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range* Promoting your healthy blood and liver functions* organicindia.mercola.com/herbal-supplements/turmeric.aspx
