Splash Candy™ Turmeric Chews contains turmeric extract, turmeric powder, and black pepper extract to help maximize absorption. Orally ingested curcumin has poor bioavailability on its own, and thus it is often combined with black pepper or Piper nigrum (1)(2). 

Turmeric (curcuma longa), is a flowering plant in the ginger family. It contains the bioactive polyphenol substance called curcumin which is recognized by both the traditional medicine and scientific communities for its antioxidant and inflammation support properties (3). Turmeric has many potential therapeutic uses including combating oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, arthritis, anxiety, and hyperlipidemia as well as possibly with neurological diseases, Crohn’s, and even exercise-induced muscle soreness (1)(4). Turmeric may also be a modulator of intracellular signaling pathways that regulate damaged cells, inflammation, invasion and apoptosis, revealing its anti-cancer potential (5). Turmeric supplementation reliably combats the markers of inflammation. A Meta-analysis of 32 trials with a total of 2,038 participants demonstrated an overall positive effect on inflammation while taking a turmeric supplement (6). Another Meta analysis of 17 articles found that curcumin-containing supplements could exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (7)(8).
