Turmeric

Turmeric's bioactive compound curcumin reduces C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammation markers by up to 32% in meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials. A single teaspoon contains approximately 200mg of curcumin, which has demonstrated neuroprotective, anti-cancer, and antidiabetic properties in over 10,000 published studies. When combined with black pepper, curcumin absorption increases 2,000%—a synergy that outperforms #7 Garlic in anti-inflammatory potency per gram.
