How Turmeric+ h Anne to enjoy life
WHEN what we are most passionate about revolves around being active, looking after ourselves is vitally important, especially as we get older. That’s why dressage and fitness enthusiast Anne Evans discovered the power of turmeric.
Anne ( left), aged 57, from Cirencester, has been riding horses for 20 years, while also being a keen gardener.
Despite leading an active lifestyle, Anne started to feel her years, leading her to research the ranges at various supplement companies. ‘I consider myself to be fit and active. However, age does eventually creep up on you, which can have an impact on the amount of fun you have. I was determined that wasn’t going to happen to me.’
Anne’s search for a solution led her to Turmeric+, a supplement developed by a Cambridge-based brand. She says: ‘After much research, I decided that Turmeric+ was something I should try.’
The key active component of turmeric is curcumin. Around the world millions of people introduce curcumin into their diet by using turmeric in their cooking. The average daily dose of curcumin in the Indian diet is more than 160mg (for an adult), usually consumed in an oily matrix such as ghee or coconut milk which helps to aid the absorption of the curcumin.
In order to consume the equivalent levels of an average Indian diet some people, including Anne, choose to take a supplement.
Turmeric+ is a patented combination that allows the curcumin to be absorbed by the body. Studies have shown that the formulation is 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric.
Anne adds: ‘It was the research at the Olympic Training Centre in Barcelona that really caught my eye. Knowing that it was used by international footballers and elite athletes made me think it must be able to do something for me.’
It is now more than a year since Anne started taking Turmeric+ and it is proving to be a real winner.
Anne is horse-riding, going to the gym, taking classes in Pilates and doing other exercises every week.
On top of that she is keeping up with day-to-day activities.
Anne says: ‘I love the product and have told many of my friends about it. When you discover something this good, you need to share the news. This fits my mantra of being fit for your life.’
Turmeric+ contains vitamin C which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.
