Short answer: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, which may support cycle comfort (cramps) and mood. Absorption is poor on its own, so it is best taken in a well-formulated supplement.
Why curcumin for hormones?
Inflammation plays a role in period pain and PMS for many people. Curcumin's anti-inflammatory action is why it appears in cycle-support formulas.
Benefits
- Anti-inflammatory support (may help cramps)
- Traditionally used for mood and overall wellbeing
- Pairs well with broader hormone support
Curcumin is one of the ingredients in Femme Flourish, alongside inositol, magnesium, zinc and B6.
How to take it
Curcumin is poorly absorbed alone; formulas pair it with other actives for better uptake. Take consistently rather than occasionally.
