Turmeric root, a revered East Indian spice, contains several types of curcuminoids, of which curcumin is the most potent and clinically studied. Curcumin-95 is a curcuminoid extract standardized to 95% pure curcumin. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and has been traditionally used to treat joint pain and various types of chronic pain, although it has many other benefits.
