Turmeric is a Powerful Natural Antioxidant

Turmeric is a natural antioxidant due to its high concentration of curcumin, a polyphenol with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin can neutralize free radicals, protect cells from damage, and inhibit lipid peroxidation, all of which contribute to its antioxidant effects. 

However, turmeric and thereby curcumin is not water soluble and therefore not easily absorbed by the bodies of both humans and pets. Whereas Turmeric Paste, namely Golden Paste, increases turmeric’s absorption bioavailability and furthermore, Turmeric Golden Paste includes organic turmeric with the highest curcumin content which is not readily available.

Turmeric Golden Paste is a ready-made premium Turmeric Paste supplement comprising Dr. Doug’s now famous Golden Paste recipe but including organic turmeric with +5.1% curcumin, additional complimentary natural health ingredients and without the mess and staining. It’s bioavailable formula for better absorption not only acts as a powerful natural antioxidant but is also a natural remedy for inflammation, immune support, heart, digestion, liver and cellular disorders, disease prevention, protection against viral infections, skincare , anti-aging and more.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a bioactive compound that is responsible for many of its health benefits, including its antioxidant properties.

Curcumin's chemical structure allows it to readily interact with free radicals, neutralizing them and preventing them from causing cellular damage. 

How Turmeric Acts as an Antioxidant:

Neutralizing Free Radicals:

Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and various diseases. Curcumin can scavenge these free radicals, effectively neutralizing their harmful effects. 

Reducing Oxidative Stress:

Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. Curcumin can help reduce oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. 

Inhibiting Lipid Peroxidation:

Lipid peroxidation is a process where free radicals attack lipids (fats) in cell membranes, causing damage. Curcumin has been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation, further contributing to its antioxidant effect. 

Boosting Antioxidant Enzymes:

Curcumin can also stimulate the body's own antioxidant defenses by increasing the activity of enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase. 

Other Contributing Factors:

While curcumin is the primary antioxidant compound in turmeric, other compounds in the spice may also contribute to its antioxidant properties. 

Turmeric's anti-inflammatory effects are also linked to its antioxidant activity, as inflammation can be exacerbated by oxidative stress. 

In summary, turmeric's antioxidant properties stem from its high curcumin content, which can neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and inhibit lipid peroxidation, ultimately protecting cells from damage and contributing to overall health.
