Organic turmeric powder is ground root from the *Curcuma longa* plant. The organic label means it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Because the body does not absorb raw turmeric well on its own, take it with a fat such as coconut oil and with black pepper. The piperine in black pepper helps bioavailability.
People use the powder to maintain joint comfort and flexibility, promote a healthy inflammatory response, and aid digestion. A popular way to take it is stirred into warm milk, which is often called golden milk. Alternatively, blend it into soups, curries, smoothies, or simply add it to hot water as a tea.
Watch for stomach upset at high doses. Organic turmeric powder can still affect blood clotting and gallbladder function.
