Turmeric is familiar from the kitchen, which makes it easy to assume a label needs no reading. It does.
One: the species
Curcuma longa. Haridra and turmeric point here; Daruharidra does not.
Two: the part
The rhizome, as the rhizome guide sets out.
Three: powder or extract
Whole rhizome powder and a curcumin extract are different materials, as the extract guide explains.
What else is worth having
Net content, capsule count and strength, and evidence of batch testing. Harida Capsules carry Curcuma longa rhizome powder, 60 capsules of 600mg.
