Turmeric supplements in whole plant powder is as effective as it's famous "active ingredient" curcumin according to nutritional research results.

Drug companies hunt down plants in the Great Amazon Basin and turn them into a pharmaceutical. Is that always more effective than the whole plant?

Turmeric supplement companies remove one active ingredient and isolate it from the rest of the natural ingredients in the plant. This is turned into a pill of the concentrate of the active ingredient. Studies prove that this is not always more effective.

Several studies done have shown that the whole spice is as or even more effective than curcumin supplement in killing cancer cells. According to nutritionfacts.org, Dr.Michael Greger describes several studies that point out that not only are there other chemical constituents in turmeric. Studies have shown the whole plant gets more effective results than the active ingredient curcumin alone.
