Overview

Swanson Full Spectrum Turmeric provides 720mg of whole turmeric root per capsule, delivering the full spectrum of naturally occurring curcuminoids and other beneficial compounds. Unlike standardized curcumin extracts, whole turmeric root contains over 200 active compounds beyond curcumin, including turmerones, which may enhance curcumin absorption and have their own anti-inflammatory properties. At 240 capsules for under $14, this is one of the most affordable turmeric supplements available.
