The percentage of curcumin varies based on the species. For example, the curcumin percentage in Curcuma aromatica (used in toiletry products) is much smaller than Curcuma longa (which we commonly call as turmeric). However typically 2.5 to 5% depends on the crop, the area, and the processing. Don’t waste hours on google trying to find turmeric with the highest percentage of curcumin. Your concern should be buying a good quality organic powder (non-adulterated one, with the required certifications etc.).

Q: How many milligrams of curcumin is in your capsules?
The short answer is 200mg per 4 capsules. Turmeric contains approximately 3.14% percent curcumin by weight. “If you want natural anti inflammatory affects, generally speaking you need to get 500 to 1,000 milligrams of curcuminoids per day.” When using the spice on its own, the common rule of thumb is that there are 200 milligrams of curcumin in one teaspoon of fresh or ground turmeric. Each of our capsules contain 1/4 teaspoon with a daily recommendation of taking 4 per day.

However, it is worth noting when extracting the curcumin from the whole food you also leave behind the many other benefits of the whole food. For example. Turmeric, whole food is high in dietary fibre, Vits B6, C & E. It is also high in iron and potassium and a good source of zinc.

Q: What is the difference between Organic and Non-Organic?
Turmeric, which is grown not using any artificial pesticides, manure etc. Organic farming of turmeric will rely on natural manures such as compost etc. and biological pest control methods such as Neem oil, rather than spraying harmful pesticides which enter our body causing various health issues. Organic farming relies on methods such as crop rotation, salinity control of soil, predatory beneficial insects, turning soil after crops etc., to make sure crops are weed free but without pesticides. Similarly, the manure used on organic farms is also natural. An organic farm will use green manure or compost to make the crop healthy. As you can see the above tasks are not as easy to carry out in today’s world of easily accessible chemical pesticides and manures. Thus, organic products are generally more expensive than non-organic ones.
