Most of us know turmeric as the yellow spice that gives curry its bright orange/yellow color but with over 6000 peer-reviewed studies proving its incredible effects on the human body and performance, it’s no wonder thousands of athletes are turning to this incredible root for faster recovery as well as reduced muscle and joint soreness.
Turmeric Sports is specifically designed to maximize the effects of turmeric’s active compound, curcumin, which is responsible for its incredible benefits for athletes.
What Is Turmeric?
It is made from the roots of a very pretty flower that originally grows in Southeast Asia and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.
For the past few decades, western medicine has become increasingly interested in the plant with over 6000 studies published about its effects. This makes turmeric one of the most studied spice in the world!
Research has shown that it has properties that can help the body in all kinds of different ways! It supports healthy cell metabolism and regeneration, improves blood circulation and even helps the kidneys detox the body.
Benefits For Athletes
Now this is where things get interesting. One of the active compounds in turmeric, an antioxidant called curcumin, is one the most powerful antioxidant known in the plant kingdom and everyone that is physically active should know about.
The reason being that it has incredible anti-inflammatory benefits. The muscle soreness and joint aches you feel after workouts are a form of inflammation in the body. Your muscles and joints swell up and you can feel stiff and sore for days.
Everyone that has gone hard consistently in the gym knows this pain. And this is what curcumin tackles.
Curcumin also stimulates muscle regeneration so it provides a double effort to muscle recovery, by lowering the inflammation and then building the muscles and joints back up.
Additionally it has been found to stimulate growth of new neurons in the brain and thereby working against the effects of stress, keeping our brain clear and giving us better sleep.
BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH TURMERIC
Unfortunately It’s not enough to just add turmeric to cooking or take turmeric in capsules. It turns out that curcumin is only about 2-4% of the turmeric root itself and the body can sometimes have trouble absorbing curcumin as well.
This can lead to it being very difficult to get enough curcumin into the body for athletes to experience the benefits.
We managed to solve that problem however and created Turmeric Sports, to make sure that athletes would truly be able to enjoy the benefits of this amazing root.
Here is how we do it:
We only use pure curcumin, extracted from specially selected turmeric roots and patented science to enhance its bioavailability, which means it has much bigger impact on your body.
We also add black pepper extract to the complex, which has shown to increase the body’s absorption of curcumin of up to 2000%!
And we don’t just stop there. We also add MSM, B6&B12 vitamins as well as Omega 3 Fatty Acids that work beautifully with the curcumin so you can recover faster, get better sleep and reduce muscle and joint soreness as well as overall aches and pains!
So we recommend you give Turmeric Sports a try today. You will be glad you did!
