Turmeric Supplements
Turmeric supplements have long been used to help reduce inflammation in the body. Aside from having anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is often used to support osteoarthritis symptoms, cholesterol and blood sugar. Turmeric is a golden yellow spice containing natural compounds called curcuminoids, including the well-studied curcumin (making up about 2 to 8% of most turmeric). Supplement Hub’s practitioners have selected this range of high quality turmeric tablets, capsules, tonics and gummies within their range, from trusted brands such as Life Extension, Premier Research Labs and Metagenics.

Who should avoid turmeric supplements?
Turmeric supplements are generally considered safe for most adults, but they can interfere with certain medicines. We recommend speaking to your GP or pharmacist for advice on taking turmeric supplements before use if you: take regular medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an existing health condition, or are due to have surgery.
What is the Difference Between Turmeric and Curcumin?
While the terms turmeric and curcumin are frequently used interchangeably, understanding the distinction between the two is key to selecting the most effective supplement for your health goals:
Turmeric: The Whole Golden Root
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a golden-hued rhizome (root) belonging to the ginger family. As a whole botanical, raw or powdered turmeric root contains a complex matrix of natural compounds, including essential oils, proteins, fiber, minerals, and a group of active plant polyphenols known as curcuminoids.
Curcumin: The Active Bioactive Compound
Curcumin is the primary, highly active polyphenol compound found within the turmeric root. It is the specific molecule responsible for turmeric’s characteristic vibrant yellow color and the vast majority of its health-promoting properties, particularly its ability to modulate inflammatory pathways (such as NF-kB) and neutralize oxidative cell damage.
The Concentrated Difference
Whole, dried turmeric root powder typically contains only 2% to 5% active curcumin by weight. Consuming whole turmeric root in cooking or simple culinary powders provides general health benefits, but it is rarely concentrated enough to deliver therapeutic results for chronic joint discomfort or acute systemic inflammation.
Standardized Curcumin Extracts, on the other hand, isolate and concentrate these active polyphenols, often standardized to 95% pure curcuminoids, delivering a therapeutic dose that would be impossible to achieve through food alone.
