In addition, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and has a role in cell division. Our bodies can make their own vitamin D through regular exposure of the skin to sunlight. However, this self-production is often not enough in our latitudes, depending on the living conditions. If there is little or no self-production of vitamin D, then an increased intake of vitamin D from food is needed. Turmeric - a sacred plant in India: The turmeric plant is one of the ginger plants and is mainly native to Asia, China and India and has been known there for about 5000 years. The base of the plant is especially valued, which is used in various ways and is often used as a spice. In India and Southeast Asia, turmeric is revered as a sacred plant. It is an integral part of traditional health teachings and Ayurveda. In Germany, turmeric is mainly used as a spice in the kitchen. Because of the unique, pungent taste of the ground rhizome, the plant is a component of Worcestershire sauce, mustard or curry powder, for example. Curcumin – the coloring agent of turmeric: Turmeric not only gives dishes its pungent taste, but also its typical yellow color – hence the common name "turmeric". The ingredient curcumin is responsible for this, which should protect the plant from bacteria or predators. Turmeric can be found, for example, in curry powder and many ready meals. And in some kitchens, people "cheat" a little, because curcumin can be used as an acceptable substitute for the precious saffron due to its beautiful yellow color. – 750 mg of turmeric root extract – of which 35 mg curcumin – High quality and vegetable – Plus 1000 IU vitamin D3 for the immune system – With piperine from black pepper – Gluten free, lactose free and gelatin free – Suitable for vegetarians What the capsules do with turmeric?
