Question: Why should I use yours instead of what I can buy from a regular retail outlet?

#1: You get a guarantee that my tincture is absolutely the highest safe concentration of all the parts of turmeric, not just isolated pieces that you regularly find in chemically processed, far more expensive store-bought variants.
#2: My turmeric is grown in the misty mountains of Costa Rica, without irrigation of any kind other than rain. Other, mass produced mono-cropping farms will irrigate with water that will not be as pure as what Mother Nature herself sprinkles on my plants. What goes into the plant, is what goes into you, and mine is 100% beyond organic.
#3: Freshness of my tincture is beyond question and has no equal. Usually in one (very long) day, I harvest, transport, wash, sort, grade, grind, and place into steeping jars the complete rhizome. No chemicals or machines of any kind are employeed.

Why should I take turmeric in tincture form over the more readily available dried powder form, or raw?

For starters, if tincture isn't available where you live, or is priced out of your reach, by all means, use fresh... and if that isn't available, use dried powder. Beyond the availability issues, in tincture form, the curcumin stays viable up to 4 years given the proper alcohol percentage, which makes this form far more convenient as well as stable than the other two.

In the potency department, curcumin levels are a minimum of 600% higher in my tincture vs. most powders... which is only part of the story. The amount of cucumin present doesn't indicate bio-availability, which is a coupled, but distinctly different metric. In tincture form, curcumin is 2400% more bio-available than in raw form.

Depending on the drying process, most if not all the essential turmeric oil is lost... whereas my tincturing process retains 100% of this potent oil... and furthermore, none of the active enzymes that exist on the skin of the rhyzome are lost either in my process. For any viable plant product brought into the United States, steps are taken to kill off these enzymes during the importation process of customs.

Turmeric is a ‘miracle herb’. You have heard this one quite a number of times. But what makes this herb so miraculous. Bioactive ingredients found in this herb are pleiotropic in nature- the same molecule can bind to a variety of enzymes and other molecular targets in the body. Well, we have p

From a phytopharmaceutical technology point of view, processing raw turmeric rhizomes (into pulp) to reach a suitable degree of comminution is mandatory for the development of tincture since particle size determines the surface area available for the diffusional mass transfer of actives from rhizome to the solvent... in simpler terms: Slicing, chopping, or grating isn't fine enough.

Have a question on Turmeric Tincture dosages? Here's some tips.

1.) Turmeric only stays in the body for 6 hours before it's metabolized out, so given this, the maximum frequency can be up to 4 times per day, every 6 hours. Unless you're struggling with sever symptoms of something profound, I suggest twice per day - once with breakfast and another before bed.

2.) Combining it with something else, will not hurt it, nor you, but is completely unnecessary unless your goal is to make it more palatable. It is already in it's most bio-available form possible as is.

3.) Every body is different so there isn't a strict minimum dose, but I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon twice a day for a week, regardless of any minor discomfort that might occur. After a week, if your body tells you to go with a smaller dose, listen and do what feels right.
