Key Points

• Whole turmeric root — not a concentrated curcumin extract. Contains the full spectrum of compounds naturally present in the spice (curcuminoids, turmerones, essential oils).
• Australian Certified Organic — grown without synthetic chemicals; not irradiated during processing (a distinguishing feature of certified organic herbs entering Australia).
• With black pepper — piperine in black pepper has been studied for its role in nutrient absorption.
• With ginger — a complementary culinary ingredient often paired with turmeric in traditional preparations.
• 607mg organic turmeric per capsule — concentrated enough that a 2-capsule serving provides meaningful turmeric intake without needing to consume large quantities of culinary turmeric powder.
• No fillers, no flow agents — just the three ingredients above in a vegetable cellulose capsule.

What This Product Is

Organic Turmeric+ is whole turmeric root, encapsulated. Turmeric is a culinary spice used widely across South and Southeast Asian cuisines (Indian curry, Indonesian Jamu, Thai dishes). The product brings that same spice into capsule form for people who want a convenient way to include it in their daily intake without preparing the cooked form.

Each capsule contains organic turmeric powder (607mg), organic ginger powder (50mg), and organic black pepper (3mg). These are all culinary food ingredients in their whole, dried, powdered form — not concentrated extracts.

2 capsules with each meal is the recommended serving (refer to the bottle label).

Why Organic Matters Here

Certified organic turmeric is processed differently to standard imported turmeric. In particular, certified organic herbs entering Australia are not irradiated — whereas standard imported herbs and spices typically are, as a sterilisation measure required for non-organic imports.

Australian Certified Organic also means no synthetic chemical pesticides or fertilisers were used in cultivation, no synthetic processing aids during drying and grinding, and a documented chain of custody. The certification is administered by accredited Australian organic certifying bodies under recognised national standards.

Whole Turmeric vs Curcumin Extract

Turmeric root contains over a hundred identified compounds. The most commonly known is curcumin, a yellow-orange polyphenol that gives turmeric its colour. Curcumin is sometimes sold as a concentrated standalone extract (e.g., 95% curcuminoid products).

This product uses whole turmeric root rather than a concentrated curcumin extract. The whole spice retains the full natural balance of compounds, including the turmerones (volatile aromatic oils naturally present in turmeric). Research has examined how these other compounds interact with curcumin absorption.

If you’re looking for the full culinary turmeric profile rather than an isolated extract, whole turmeric is the format that matches that.

About the Black Pepper

Black pepper contains piperine, a naturally-occurring alkaloid. In traditional South Asian culinary use, turmeric and black pepper are commonly combined — for example in Indian curry preparations. Piperine has been studied for its role in the absorption of various dietary compounds. The small quantity of black pepper in this product (3mg per capsule) reflects this traditional culinary pairing.

Cooking with Turmeric — Recipe Idea: Jamu

If you’d like to use turmeric in cooking as well, Jamu is a traditional Indonesian herbal drink that pairs turmeric with black pepper. The basic version combines:

• Fresh or dried turmeric
• A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
• Coconut water or warm water

Variations include fresh ginger and/or tamarind to vary the flavour. Many Indonesian households prepare Jamu daily as part of their traditional food culture. This product is for capsule convenience — it doesn’t replace cooking with turmeric, but works alongside it.
