Turmeric has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic practices. Traditionally valued for supporting digestive comfort, overall balance, and general well-being, this orange spice has been used both in culinary settings and traditionally for supporting digestion. The qualities most associated with turmeric are linked to its main component, curcumin, which when in concentrated form has been studied for its connection to general wellness.
Evinature's Cura protocol contains 95% pure curcumin, designed to support gut balance, digestive comfort, and overall well-being. To support a thoughtful approach to using turmeric and curcumin and to minimize potential side effects, it is best to source the herb from a licensed provider with high quality control.
Turmeric Benefits Traditionally Associated With Digestive Comfort
Turmeric Benefits Traditionally Associated With Gut Microbiome Balance
Turmeric and Gas and Bloating Comfort
Digestive sensations like gas, bloating, and cramping often relate to changes in the gut environment or the gut microflora. Curcumin has been studied for its potential influence on gut comfort, motility, and microbial balance, which may make it a useful component for supporting overall digestive comfort.
Turmeric and Bile Flow
Bile is an enzyme-rich fluid secreted from the gallbladder, filled with acids that help break down proteins and fats. As food enters the small intestine, changes in gut motility encourage the release of bile, supporting normal movement of food through the intestinal tract and absorption.
Turmeric and the Brain-Gut Axis
The gut and brain are connected via the brain-gut axis, and chronic stress can affect comfort in those with digestive sensitivities. Stress activates the peripheral nervous system to trigger physiological responses associated with stress. This response can simultaneously decrease signals from the vagus nerve that support normal digestion.
