Botanical Extract
Turmeric
Curcuma longa
Turmeric rhizome is the source of curcuminoids, which give the spice its color and its identity as a functional ingredient — and it's also an approved natural food colorant (curcumin/E100) alongside its nutraceutical use. Curcumin has notoriously poor oral bioavailability alone, which is why it's commonly paired with piperine or formulated as a lipid-complexed form.
