Turmeric vs Curcumin: What Matters for Absorption (and Why Most People Miss It)
If you’ve tried turmeric before and thought, “Eh… I’m not sure I feel anything,” you’re not alone. Most turmeric problems aren’t about turmeric being “bad.” They’re about absorption and consistency.
Turmeric vs Curcumin: Simple Definition
-
Turmeric = the whole root
-
Curcumin = one of turmeric’s most studied compounds
Here’s the catch: taking more isn’t always better if the body isn’t utilizing it efficiently.
The Real Problem: Utilization
Common reasons people don’t notice much:
-
inconsistent use (random days, “as needed”)
-
poor digestive tolerance or timing
-
dose-chasing instead of habit-building
Where Enzymes Come In
Enzymes can support digestion and utilization—one reason Curcumizyme® is built differently than “plain turmeric capsules.”
