Orlando, FL— September 11, 2015 — Turmeric is one of the most powerful healing ingredients today that is widely used as a nutritional supplement. It is believed to have a myriad of therapeutic benefits, and many people from around the world are using it to combat a variety of ailments. Since it is widely available in the market today, consumers need to ensure that they end up getting the right product.

A turmeric buying guide to avoid adulterated products is finally released. The healing effects of this medicinal spice are believed to originate from the curcumin it contains. Curcumin is believed to be effective in reducing the risk of inflammation-related conditions.

“Today, arthritis sufferers take advantage of the therapeutic properties of the spice. Many of them reported some improvements in their pain and mobility,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

According to experts, there are two ways in which turmeric is adulterated, and one is by adding fillers, such as starch, saw dust or rice flour. Fillers may or may not have nutritional value, and may have some harmful substances that can be detrimental to health. The second is the use of color dyes, which are usually added to fillers. The bad news is that the use of color dyes is associated with a negative impact in the nervous system, and may even cause cancer.

Consumers need to look at the color, and see which is genuine and which is not. There are ways to do it such as to look, smell, rub or taste it. There are also scientific ways to do it such as using a few drops of concentrated Hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid.

Testing turmeric can also be done through a chalk powder test or a microscopic test to see if starch, which is a filler, is in the turmeric powder. Another easy method to determine if turmeric is adulterated is to use a water test for chalk powder in turmeric.

Since turmeric powder has become a great addition to a wide variety of dishes, consumers need to ensure that they know how and where exactly they can obtain a pure turmeric powder.

Experts recommend that consumers who want to purchase turmeric powder in bulk ask the seller to do some tests for them. They can also ask for a test report to see if there is an adulteration. The tests may not be applicable to turmeric supplements, for the reason that they may contain additional ingredients that can interfere with the tests.

It is imperative that consumers are able to choose turmeric supplements that are not adulterated. Once they do this, they will be able to take advantage of the benefits offered by the natural alternative (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI).
