Traditional Uses
Turmeric, often referred to as the “golden spice” or “Indian saffron,” derives its name from the Latin terra merita (“meritorious earth”), referring to the yellow color of its ground rhizome. Turmeric is one of the most widely used traditional herbs, valued for its vibrant color and traditional uses.
In Ayurveda, turmeric is traditionally classified as having a bitter and pungent taste (tikta and katu rasa), with warming energy (ushna virya). It is believed to help balance the Kapha and Vata doshas while supporting overall health and vitality. For centuries, turmeric has been incorporated into herbal formulations, dietary practices, and wellness traditions, reflecting its significant role in Ayurvedic principles.

Starmeric® is a resistant starch prepared from turmeric (Curcuma longa), standardized to contain a minimum of 20% and 35% total starch.
Resistant starch is digested more slowly than simple starch, which may help promote feelings of fullness for a longer period. It also helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, aids in weight management, and improves gut health through its prebiotic effects.
Its double-helical crystalline structure resists digestion in the small intestine, allowing it to reach the large intestine, where it is fermented by gut microflora. This fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid, as a by-product of resistant starch fermentation. These SCFAs help maintain intestinal homeostasis and overall gut health.
The curcuminoid content in Starmeric® is less than 0.5%.
The recommended daily dose of Starmeric® is 2 to 5 g per day.
