Our Turmeric supplements are part of our More Than Vegan™range of products. Not only are they absolutely Vegan, they also contain no unnecessary non-active ingredients, just the good stuff!

The benefits of turmeric to the body are significant. It has been shown to reduce inflammation by lowering histamine levels, it can also support cardiovascular health by improving the function of the blood vessel lining (endothelium) and studies have also reported that turmeric supplementation may reduce pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis. We’ve also included a healthy dose of ginger to this formulation, which, like turmeric, has shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Furthermore, curcumin (the active ingredient within turmeric) is only 45%-85% absorbed by the body, therefore we have added black pepper, as the piperine in black pepper increases absorption by up to 2000%!

It may reduce inflammation by lowering histamine levels, it can also support cardiovascular health by improving the function of the blood vessel lining (endothelium) and studies have also shown that turmeric supplementation may reduce pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis. Did you know that only 3% of the weight of turmeric is the active ingredient, known as curcumin? Meaning that you need quite large quantities if consumed through food only. Furthermore, curcumin is only 45%-85% absorbed by the body, therefore we have added black pepper to this loving made supplement as the piperine in black pepper increases absorption by up to 2000%!

Ginger, like turmeric is known for it’s powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Some research shows that ginger may possess powerful immune-boosting properties.

Black pepper contains piperine which is needed to maximise the absorption of turmeric. Black pepper is also said to have anti-inflammatory properties.

What our customers say about Turmeric

I would recommend these supplements to anyone and everyone! I’m already taking Protea Wellness Vitamin D and Meno Sense and I’ve found these Turmeric capsules to be a great addition. Turmeric has such great healing properties and I love that these are all natural.

Upon recommendation from my brother in law, who suffers with osteoarthritis, I decided to give Protea turmeric a try as I’ve been getting pains in my legs. I’m really delighted with the results, I’m just feeling much better in myself and the pain seems reduced. I’ll be back for more!

I was sceptical to try these turmeric supplements, but with my worsening arthritic symptoms in my wrists I was willing to try anything to help relief the discomfort! I must say that I’m very impressed, after taking these supplements for just under 2 weeks I have found that my wrists hurt less and I’m back to doing gardening. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you.
