I used it for general health and to dye my soaps. I ground up blk pepper fine and filled geletin capsules i take with tumeric. Enjoy this product for health, beauty, cooking. Good price for the money

Great quality and price

In purchasing Turmeric you can't just look at the cost per oz because those ounces are not the same even in two products that say their only ingredient is "organic Turmeric." The key is in the extract ratio. XPRS Nutra Organic Turmeric Curcumin Powder has an extract ratio of 10:1. This means that 10 kg of raw herbs were extracted down to 1 kg of dried powdered extract. So this 4oz package of Turmeric started out as 40oz of Turmeric root. There is always an extract ratio and the higher the ratio the less of it you would need to consume to get the same benefit. Unfortunately, very few Turmeric sellers on ZeeBooth list their extract ratio. At least the less expensive ones. However, you can get an idea of this by looking at the suggested serving size. The larger the suggested serving size, the lower the extract ratio. The active ingredient of Turmeric is curcumin. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a strong antioxidant. However, curcumin is not easily absorbed into your bloodstream. It helps to consume Turmeric with black pepper, which contains piperine. Piperine is a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000% (PubMed). Some (high priced) Turmeric supplements add piperine to make them more effective. Adding a little black pepper should have a similar effect. Curcumin is also soluble in fat. So it's a good idea to take Turmeric with a meal thats high in fat. So, is it ter-meric or too-meric? I always used the latter but then when I started looking at the way it was spelled I thought maybe I had been pronouncing it incorrectly. I was much relieved to find out that according to Merriam-Webster and The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language both ter-meric and too-meric are acceptable. My friend, Ron, has been recommending Turmeric to me, and everyone else he meets, for years. I always politely listened to him tell me all about its benefits but I never actually tried it. So when I saw this, I decided it was time to take the plunge. Ron is in his early 70s and is a former NHL player who still does 1000 pushup everyday. Right or wrong, he credits much of his health to his daily intake of turmeric. So from my research it seems the health benefits are undeniable though they may vary from person to person. Most of the studies that are done use a Turmeric that has a very high extraction ratio and adds piperine which allows the cur cumin to be much more readily absorbed by the bloodstream. So I'll be mixing this Turmeric with a little black pepper and trying to consume around 1/4 tsp daily. The Turmeric does not really have much flavor but a little black pepper certainly livens it up a bit.
