Everything you need to know about the product: Turmeric
Turmeric – the spice of India
In a broader sense, turmeric is a genus of plants in the ginger family, which includes around 100 species. In a narrower sense, it usually refers to turmeric (Curcuma longa) and, in particular, the spice obtained from its rhizome (underground stem). Turmeric has long played an important role in Indian and Thai cuisine, both in dried and ground form and as a whole tuber. The rhizome of turmeric contains various essential oils, acids, and curcuminoids, such as the yellow pigment curcumin.
Curcumin is synthesized in the plant itself to protect against microbial pathogens. Accordingly, curcumin is said to strengthen the immune system. There is also evidence that the active ingredient has a positive effect on cholesterol levels.
Special combination: turmeric and black pepper
Curcumin is poorly soluble in water and is therefore only poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of curcumin—that is, the proportion of the active ingredient that is actually available to the body after ingestion—is therefore low. Dissolving it in oil, heating it, or mixing it with piperine (a component of black pepper) significantly increases the bioavailability of this health-promoting pigment. You should also ensure that turmeric products contain as high a concentration of curcuminoids as possible.
The Indian turmeric
Shortly after eating, we often feel tired and lacking energy. No wonder – our digestive system has started working and needs a lot of energy, especially if our diet isn't as balanced as it should be. We suggest you sit back, relax, and while you digest, read about turmeric, one of the world's oldest medicinal plants.
What is turmeric?
Curcuma longa, also known as Indian turmeric, belongs to the ginger family and has been used for thousands of years in both Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. The plant's yellow rhizome is highly branched and resembles that of ginger. While Indians primarily process and consume it as a powder, Southeast Asian cuisine favors the fresh tuber. In this country, we know turmeric primarily as a flavor enhancer and coloring ingredient in exotic curries.
The relevant ingredients of turmeric are the curcuminoids, which include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and cyclocurcumin.
Taking Curcuma
Curcuminoids are poorly soluble in water and are therefore only poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of curcuminoids—that is, the proportion of the active ingredient that is actually available to the body after ingestion—is therefore low. Dissolving them in oil or heating significantly increases the bioavailability of this health-promoting pigment. However, the addition of piperine (a component of black pepper) is particularly effective. Combined with piperine, the bioavailability of curcumin increases by 2000 percent.
The recommended minimum dose per day is 500 mg.
Medicom offers you premium-quality turmeric. The maximum daily intake recommended by the European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy (ESCOP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) is 3 g of turmeric powder from the dried rhizome.
The easy-to-open Medicom Curcuma capsules each contain 250 mg of high-quality turmeric with 95 percent effective curcuminoids and 2.5 mg of black pepper extract with 95 percent piperine. Take one capsule at least twice daily with plenty of liquid with your meals. Curcumin is generally considered to be very well tolerated.

You ask – we answer
What is turmeric?
Curcuma or turmericis a genus of plants in the ginger family. In a narrower sense, this term refers to Indian turmeric (Curcuma longa) or the turmeric spice, which develops from the yellow rhizome. The rhizome is an underground, root-like branching shoot. Turmeric extract plays an important role in traditional Indian and Thai cuisine, both in dried, ground form and as fresh turmeric root.
Why is turmeric root special?
In Asia, the use of turmeric root has been popular for thousands of years not only as a spice but also as a medicinal remedy. And for good reason: According to tradition, turmeric's use supports general well-being. In Indian cuisine, chefs use turmeric in recipes, especially in dishes that stimulate digestion.
What turmeric ingredients are included?
The most important ingredients are found in the turmeric rhizome. This is where you'll find a particularly high concentration of essential oils and valuable curcuminoids, which are important for your well-being. These derivatives of the yellow pigment curcumin offer a whole range of health benefits.
Why buy turmeric capsules from Medicom?
With our turmeric capsules, you're purchasing the highest quality product, 'Made in Germany', from the premium MEDICOM TERRA® natural line. The curcuminoids contained in turmeric root powder are beneficial to your health. However, the gastrointestinal tract absorbs these water-soluble substances only to a limited extent. As a result, the bioavailability of curcuminoids is rather low. Dissolving the turmeric in oil or heating it increases its bioavailability. Even better, a blend of turmeric and piperine is available. Our turmeric capsules with black pepper offer increased bioavailability and thus better turmeric quality for greater well-being.
How long should you take turmeric?
At the recommended daily dose, turmeric can be taken long-term. For consistent daily use, we recommend a break after 1-2 months.
Since when has turmeric powder been used?
For thousands of years, both the Indian healing art of Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine have used turmeric powder as a therapeutic treatment. In this country, Curcuma longa is primarily known as a flavor and coloring ingredient in exotic curries.
What should you pay attention to when buying turmeric products?
1. Turmeric capsules have the advantage of providing a precisely measured amount per capsule. 2. Pay attention to the different preparation methods. Extracts are generally of higher quality. Turmeric powder as a spice is not standardized. 3. Pay attention to the proportion of valuable ingredients, such as curcuminoids, which also include curcumin. 4. Precisely dosed capsules are easy to handle. 5. Turmeric should be used in combination with absorption-promoting substances, such as black pepper and the piperine it contains. Piperine ensures better bioavailability and absorption through the intestines. 6. Individual blister packaging ensures optimal protection of the ingredients and hygienic dispensing.
