Inflammation is your body's way of saying, "Hey, something's not right here!" Stub your toe? Inflammation. Catch a cold? Inflammation. That’s not even getting into the big stuff like bursitis, arthritis and back pain. Your body thinks it's doing you a solid by swelling up and sending out the red alert, but sometimes, it's just a little too extra and we need to give the body a little helping hand to get it back in control.

Why Is Turmeric so good? 
Turmeric isn’t just your average spice rack superstar. Its been used in India for thousands of years as both a spice and medicinal herb. This golden wonder is like the VIP section of plant health, with over 300 phytonutrients. These little buddies help plants stay in tiptop shape, and guess what? They can do the same for you! Join the exclusive club of the plant kingdom, but without the green thumb.

But hold onto your broccoli because there's more! Turmeric is the proud owner of curcumin, the main event, the headline act, the rock star of the anti-inflam spice world. Curcumin’s got the goods when it comes to being a natural anti-inflammatory sensation as its a powerful antioxidant that can help neutralise and block free radical actions as well as igniting the action of other antioxidants.  And here's the kicker – the rest of the compounds in turmeric are like its backup dancers, working their groove to help curcumin shine. They're the ultimate backstage crew, making sure curcumin gets past the bouncers at the gut wall and into the bloodstream, ready to deal with your inflammation head-on, telling swelling to take a hike, and soothing joint pain like a spa day for your body.

Here are some other cool facts about Turmeric & Curcumin that we just couldn’t keep to ourselves:

Not all Turmeric is the same!
Now we’ve let you in on how amazing Turmeric can be, did you know that not all Turmeric is the same quality? Our FixEm Anti-Inflammatory blend uses Alleppey Turmeric from the Kerala region of India.  Indian turmeric is considered to be the ‘original’ turmeric so is subjected to very high standard grading, including micro-biology analysed curcumin content. Alleppey Turmeric is one of the best with an extremely high curcumin content. Good for us and our bodies we say! 

Store bough turmeric is generally low in curcumin and used mainly for flavour and color, not its curcumin health benefits. The difference in low and high curcumin content is the difference in it having a significant positive impact on your health or not. Beware of cheap imitation, low grade Turmeric. Some producers may add fillers and even dye their Turmeric to make it look better. Not for us we say!

Why is plant-based and pure the best?
Picture this: your body and Mother Nature, they're like the ultimate BFFs, partners in crime against all things unnatural. They have this epic handshake where they easily high-five natural whole foods and give the cold shoulder to anything with more chemicals than a mad scientist's lab. 

In the grand scheme of things, your body is like the bouncer at the health club, letting in the good stuff and blocking the troublemakers. You know, those highly processed, nutrient-deprived junk food imposters that are about as nutritious as a rubber chicken. Can’t read, pronounce or understand the ingredients? Ditch it! Your body has no clue what to do with those nasty ingredients, which can leave undesirable effects within your body.

To keep your body doing the happy dance, the FixEm Anti-inflammatory blend is so pure and natural, your body practically high-fives it on the way in.

Serving Sizes

1 scoop/serve = approx 4g = approx 1 teaspoon

Mix with your fav liquid of choice. This could be water, coconut water, juice or your preferred mylk (as in the non-dairy kind as dairy is an inflammatory food contributor). You can also add it to coconut yoghurt or smoothies.

How much you take depends on how broken and inflamed you are. 

Daily wellbeing wonder! A single scoop can be taken as a wellbeing dose. Choose to take as a full scoop or do halvies, morning and night. Or add a scoop to your smoothie bowl, latte, water bottle or add a scoop to your curries or turmeric bliss balls!

Feeling slightly broken? Start with a scoop, once or twice a day, morning and night is best. Once you start seeing results, reduce your serving size to a 1 scoop wellbeing serve.

Feeling very broken? Take 1-3 scoops per day, think 1 at brekkie, 1 at lunch and 1 at dinner, to make it easy to remember. Stick with this dose until you feel the benefits, then reduce the amount to 2 serves a day for about 3 weeks. If you’re still feeling the benefits, reduce to a wellbeing dose of 1 scoop a day.

Feeling extremely broken? Let's hit that inflammation head on! Take 1 scoop, 4 times a day for as long as it takes to see a significant difference to your condition.

Gut issues, sensitive tummies and bowels? We recommend introducing FixEm Anti-Inflammatory into your diet slowly, over 7-10 days, to reach the full wellness amount. Start with 1/2 serve in the morning with brekkie for a few days, then up the dose to add another 1/2 serve with dinner for a week. Increase to a full serve, moving and night, until you see results, then decrease to a single serve a day as a general wellbeing dose.
