Turmeric or curcumin?  What’s the difference?Turmeric is the plant that provides curcumin, the clinically studied and beneficial compound. Typically, turmeric contains about 2–5% curcumin, so taking an unstandardized, powdered turmeric product means that very large amounts would be required to get a beneficial amount of curcumin.

The clinically studied curcumin in the family of CuraPro products has been:

• Tested for its curcuminoid content
• Extracted without the use of harsh, toxic solvents
• Grown using traditional methods without the use of synthetic chemicals and pesticides
• Made using solar energy

Curcumin Quality Story.The turmeric source of the clinically studied curcumin in CuraPro is grown in northeast India without the use of pesticides or chemicals. The crops are sustainably tended by independent, local farmers who are paid reasonable and competitive prices. Raw materials are consistently analyzed for contaminants and tested for potency in India, in the United States, and according to Canadian requirements.
