This is the most common question we get asked and the truth is, it really comes down to you.
A capsule offers such convenience, it’s quick & simple, you don’t have to mix it with anything, and for some the most important deciding factor is… you don’t have to taste it! Yes, the powder does come with a very distinctive ‘earthy’ flavour and if you are someone that isn’t too keen on strong tastes it may not be for you.
BUT before you rule the powder out, it is important that we mention... it does have the edge on the health benefits side. It is slightly stronger per dose with the curcumin content being higher and obviously being a loose powder, it gets into your system that much quicker. Plus, the additional ingredients found in the powder, such as the ginger, cinnamon, green tea & papaya are all commonly used for their many potential benefits. They could bring about additional anti-oxidants as well as anti-inflammatory properties.
So the honest answer is, the powder is slightly stronger… BUT it only works if you actually take it, and if the taste and having to mix it each day could be enough to stop you using it regularly maybe you’re best off giving the capsules a try? We do find a lot of customers start with the capsules and over time, once they are 100% sold on the benefits, they move on to use the powder.
Absolutely! Our supplements have been developed to be taken together, complementing each other and each supporting your differing health goals in their own way.
Nope! Our capsule shells are made from plant cellulose. Honest. Natural. Effective.
We only offer loose powder capsules because that means we can make them for you without any additives and can ensure that every last grain in those capsules is made up of the active ingredients that are paying for. To create a pressed tablet it requires glue, binders, fillers, and coating… yuk!
You can use the powder in any food and drink and that of course includes in cooking if you wish… HOWEVER we would recommend that to harness the full power of the curcumin you try not to bring it boiling temperature as it will reduce the efficacy. Our advice would be to continue to use culinary turmeric in recipes and keep your TURMERIC [blend] as a health product. If you want to add it to a warm dish maybe sprinkle it on or stir it on after taking it off the heat.
