Come in from the cold with turmeric
IT’S that time of the year when we’re feeling at our least active – the dreary, cold weather getting us down when we’re not even over the rigours of new year.We know we need to get out there and do something but our bodies don’t necessarily agree.
The way forward could be turmeric. We’ve all heard wellness warriors talking about it – but are baffled as to how a spice used in curries has such a following.
But the truth is, they’re on to something.Turmeric, a knobbly root related to ginger, is rich in curcumin, a compound that has been the subject of much research by scientists across the globe.
More and more people, especially the over 50s, are converted after trying it for themselves – but you need more than just a daily curry.
Curcumin is difficult for the body to absorb – so the powdered turmeric found in supermarkets doesn’t work.
FutureYou Cambridge, the leading nutritional supplement company, has won praise for its Turmeric+ supplement, which allows more of the active ingredient to get where it is needed – it is 30 times more absorbable than regular turmeric and also contains vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage.
THE impressive formula was developed in Cambridge, a city known globally for its academic and medical excellence. Each FutureYou supplement is backed by a scientific advisory board that includes pharmacist, nutritionist and author Aidan Goggins and Nicholas Shenker, a leading rheumatologist and chronic pain expert at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The results speak for themselves, with thousands of people signing up for a regular supply of Turmeric+.
Sylvia Pilgrim, in her 60s, from Manchester, is one of them, someone who has always liked to keep fit.
“I am retired now, but even when I was working I always liked to go to the gym,” she says.
“Unfortunately, I began to slow down due to wear and tear.
“I’d seen the advertisements for Turmeric+ but thought it was just another fad, then I thought I had nothing to lose by trying it.
‘The difference was unbelievable. I went back to the gym and can now continue with my fitness regime.
“I have been taking it for around two years and my husband suggested I came off it as I was feeling so much more like my normal self – but I told him I’d rather give him up than my turmeric tablets!”
