Buy Turmeric – Curcumin Extracts & Organic Powder

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant from the ginger family, whose dried rhizome powder is known as a bright yellow spice. The compound that gives it its name is curcumin, which belongs to the curcuminoid group and thus to the secondary plant compounds. In this category, you'll find turmeric and curcumin products from Scheunengut – as organic powder and as standardised extracts, vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

The underground rhizome of the turmeric plant is processed, grown predominantly in India and Southeast Asia. For powder, the rhizome is dried and ground; for extracts, the curcuminoids are gently drawn out and adjusted to a defined content.

Standardisation & Format

What matters most is the standardised curcumin content – high-quality extracts often state around 95% curcuminoids. Turmeric is available as a capsule, organic powder or extract. Because curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed, many products combine it with piperine from black pepper. You'll also find turmeric as part of complexes with milk thistle and artichoke.

What to Look for When Buying

  • Standardised, transparently declared curcumin content
  • Origin and cultivation, ideally organic quality
  • Vegan, without unnecessary additives
  • Independently lab-tested purity
