Turmeric supplements have gained much popularity lately. You likely know the amazing benefits that this herb can give you. But if you do not, you can check out my What Turmeric is Good For post here. From inflammation, to aches and pains, this is an workhorse of a supplement! In this post, I will share two of the most highly absorbable turmeric supplements I know of on the market. Absorption, aka bioavailability, is so important when it comes to supplements. If your body is unable to absorb the supplement, it cannot use it and gain the benefits from it. Bioavailability is how much of the supplement actually reaches your body’s circulation system. In other words, how much of the supplement your body can absorb and use. We certainly want our bodies to absorb as much of the supplement as possible. Otherwise, we are just wasting our money and urinating it out without actually utilizing it. Now comes the part you are here for! My top two turmeric supplements are from one of my favorite health companies: Young Living. The names of their two turmeric supplements are Agilease and Golden Turmeric. Below I will share some of the details about each one.
Young Living Turmeric Supplents:

Choosing Between These Turmeric Supplements:
As seen above, there are some slight differences between these two supplements. If you are looking for additional support besides just turmeric, then Agilease is your best choice. Or if you just want a basic turmeric supplement, you should choose the Golden Turmeric. If neither of those things matter, then it is really just a personal preference. At this point, I think it is as simple as asking yourself if you prefer a capsule to take real quick or a beverage to sip on. So which one do you prefer? Some people struggle with swallowing pills and capsules – for them a beverage can be more pleasant. Others just want to pop it in and be done with it. If you prefer some variety or just can’t choose, you can alternate between the two. Either way, these turmeric supplements are highly bioavailable and pure! (As are all supplements from Young Living.)
