Our Product of the Year Turmeric is characterised by its broad application. It is used both as a spice in the kitchen and as a medicinal plant in medicine. It has been known for years that turmeric also has a beneficial effect on the liver, bile ducts and gall bladder.

A research team led by university professor Dr. Michael Trauner, then a scientist at Med-Uni Graz, investigated the effect of the substance curcumin, the main active ingredient of the turmeric root, on the liver, which is burdened with toxins. He was able to determine that the addition of turmeric to the diet could prevent liver damage in the case of toxic stress. In addition, curcumin prevented the blockage of the bile ducts in the study. This blockage is very often responsible for the increase of the liver enzyme "gamma GT", which increases when the liver is exposed to toxins such as alcohol.

Curcumin could reduce the effect of toxic substances on the liver and support the healing of toxically damaged liver tissue.

Our dietary supplement "Turmeric with Pepper" in the form of capsules contains high-quality turmeric powder from organic farming in high concentration and can be used to support healthy liver function.
