Best Turmeric Supplement
Turmeric is a popular spice that is derived from the Curcuma longa root. This spice has a somewhat bitter taste, and is often used in things like cheeses, butters, and curry powders. It is also commonly used in supplements because of the fact that it contains a chemical known as curcumin, which is believed by many to help reduce swelling. You can find dozens of different dietary supplements and powders that either include turmeric as one of the ingredients or are made entirely from this great spice. When shopping at CVS, you will find turmeric supplements made by Nature Made, Nature's Truth, Qunol, Live Better, CVS Health, and other brands. As with all of the products at CVS, we work hard to make sure that they are of the highest quality and come from brands that you can trust. To find the best turmeric supplement for you, make sure to look at things such as the dosage amount of each pill, the size of the pill, and the number of pills or capsules in the bottle. Of course, you can also speak with an experienced pharmacist at your local CVS pharmacy to get advice based on your specific needs.
Best Turmeric Powder
If you do not like taking pills, you can also choose to purchase turmeric powder. This powdered supplement can be dissolved into water and consumed that way. Turmeric itself has a somewhat bitter, but aromatic, taste to it. This is why many of the powders will be flavored with other things such as orange or even have other supplements mixed in to improve the taste. Finding a brand like Live Better or Qunol that gives you quality turmeric that tastes great is the best option for most people.
Best Time to Take Turmeric
Most turmeric supplements need to be taken just once per day, and you can take them anytime that works for your schedule. The most common options are to either take the supplement first thing in the morning with breakfast, or just before bed. Most people will want to take this supplement with a meal since the nutrient curcumin that is in the turmeric is better absorbed with food.
Best Turmeric Supplement for Arthritis
While people take turmeric supplements for many things, arthritis relief is one of the most common. The fact that this root can help to reduce inflammation makes it a great option for those who struggle with arthritis. While all major brands that are carried at CVS will give you good quality turmeric, most people with arthritis will want an option that comes in an easy-to-open bottle, or even a powder that comes with an easy-off lid, such as those from Live Better. If you need help picking out the best turmeric supplement for arthritis, please don't hesitate to speak with a pharmacist.
