Pauline sets sail again with Turmeric+

Semi-retired photographer Pauline Rook, 73, living in Somerset, tells how Turmeric+ changed her life.

‘Around twenty-five years ago, when recovering from a stroke,  I fell into the hands of a lovely nutritionist.  

‘Both my mother and my grandmother had experienced discomfort in their joints during their lives and my knees were beginning to wake me up in the night and  I wanted to do something proactively to try and help myself. 

‘Turmeric was recommended and the nutritionist suggested I make a not very tasty drink, which I didn’t fancy at all.   So when I saw an advertisement for Turmeric+from FutureYou Cambridge I thought I’d try that instead.

‘It was very good, and worked wonders, but I thought it was a little expensive, so I stopped and tried a cheaper one.   My knee started playing up again. so I went back to it.  That was about 10 years ago and I’ve not had a problem since.’  

Turmeric contains compounds called curcuminoids, the most notable of which is curcumin.  Not only is curcumin responsible for turmeric’s distinctive yellow colour but it’s also what makes it such a powerful spice.

However curcumin is difficult for the body to absorb so the scientists at FutureYou Cambridge used a patented Curcuma Phospholipid Complex formulation to make Turmeric+, 30 times more absorbable than standard turmeric.

They also added vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and vitamin D, which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and maintenance of normal muscle function.

‘Our advanced formulation works by using plant- based lecithin to mimic the way the body naturally absorbs curcuminoids after eating turmeric cooked with fat,’explains Dr Miriam Ferrer, PhD, Head of Product Development. ‘But it delivers far more than you’d normally get from a meal.’ 

Pauline continues: ‘Recently I was dinghy racing with my husband, I’m by far the oldest woman in the team but even after hanging over the toe straps in rough seas, my knees were fine.  Turmeric+ has helped me live the life I want, fully mobile and no discomfort at night.’
