Anti-inflammatory compound, active ingredient is curcumin

We rank Turmeric by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Turmeric is a natural plant extract. Its most important part is curcumin, which is the active compound that provides the health benefits.

Why it's used

It is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory, meaning it helps the body reduce swelling and redness caused by inflammation.

How it's made

The plant is harvested and dried before being ground into a fine powder. To create a concentrated supplement, manufacturers use solvents to extract the curcumin from the powder, which is then purified and put into capsules or tablets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because while the raw plant is relatively easy to grow, the process of extracting and purifying the active curcumin requires more specialized equipment than simple grinding.
