Opis
Čaj od kurkume je tradicionalni prirodni napitak koji se koristi kod bolova u zglobovima, mišićima i kostima, naročito kod artritisa, upalnih procesa i oporavka nakon fizičkog napora. Glavni aktivni sastojak kurkume je kurkumin, snažan prirodni antiinflamator i antioksidans. U kombinaciji sa crnim biberom, njegova iskoristivost u organizmu se višestruko povećava.
Kako deluje?
Kurkumin deluje tako što:
- smanjuje upalne procese u zglobovima i mišićima
- ublažava bol i ukočenost kod artritisa
- pomaže oporavak mišića nakon fizičkog napora
- deluje antioksidativno i štiti ćelije od oksidativnog stresa
- Crni biber sadrži piperin, koji povećava apsorpciju kurkumina i do 20 puta.
Upotreba i doziranje: 1 šolja dnevno.
Najbolje piti uz obrok ili nakon obroka
kod hroničnih bolova može se piti svakodnevno do 4–6 nedelja, zatim napraviti pauzu

Description
Turmeric tea is a traditional natural drink that is used for joint, muscle and bone pain, especially for arthritis, inflammatory processes and recovery after physical exertion. The main active ingredient of turmeric is curcumin, a powerful natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. In combination with black pepper, its usefulness in the body increases many times over.
How does it work?
Curcumin works by:
- reduces inflammatory processes in joints and muscles
- relieves pain and stiffness in arthritis
- helps muscle recovery after physical exertion
- acts as an antioxidant and protects cells from oxidative stress
- Black pepper contains piperine, which increases the absorption of curcumin up to 20 times.
Use and dosage: 1 cup a day.
- Best to drink with a meal or after a meal
- in case of chronic pain, it can be drunk daily for up to 4-6 weeks, then take a break
Nutritional Values (approximately per 1 cup of tea, 250 ml, without honey):
Energy
about 10–15 kcal
Carbohydrates
2–3 years
Proteins
0.3 g
Fats
0.2 g
Fibers
0.7 g
Active compounds
curcumin 150–200 mg
trace amounts of piperine (significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin)
Micronutrients (approximately per 1 cup of turmeric tea, 250 ml, from ~2 g turmeric powder):
Manganese
0.4–0.5 mg
about 20–25% of the recommended daily intake
Iron
0.8–1.0 mg
about 5–7% of the recommended daily intake
Potassium
80–100 mg
about 2–3% of the recommended daily intake
Vitamin B6
0.05–0.1 mg
about 4–7% of the recommended daily intake input
Vitamin C
0.3–0.5 mg
less than 1% of the recommended daily intake
Magnesium
10–15 mg
about 2–4% of the recommended daily intake
Zinc
0.1–0.2 mg
about 1–2% of the recommended daily intake
Important clarification:
Turmeric tea is not a primary source of micronutrients, but a source of bioactive compounds (curcumin). Nevertheless, it contributes to the daily intake of minerals, especially manganese and iron, in smaller but useful amounts.
Health benefits:
1. Bones and joints
- reduces chronic inflammatory processes in the joints
- relieves pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
can contribute to the preservation of joint mobility
- supports the recovery of connective tissue
- especially useful for morning stiffness and pain caused by dampness or cold.
2. Muscles and recovery
- reduces muscle inflammation after physical exertion
- relieves pain after training or heavy physical work
contributes to faster recovery of muscle fiber microinjuries
- acts as a natural analgesic for mild to moderate pain
- useful for athletes, recreationists and people with physically demanding jobs.
3. Digestive system
- stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes
reduces bloating and the feeling of heaviness after a meal
- has a mild antiseptic effect in the intestines
- can help with functional digestive disorders
Note: in case of a sensitive stomach, use a milder concentration.
4. Immune system
- strong antioxidant effect
- helps the body fight against chronic inflammation
- can contribute to a better response of the immune system
- reduces oxidative stress in cells
- especially useful in periods of increased stress and strain on the body.
5. Cardiovascular system
- can contribute to the reduction of systemic inflammation that affects the health of blood vessels
- helps preserve the elasticity of the arteries
- indirectly supports cholesterol regulation
- it does not replace therapy, but is a good addition to a healthy lifestyle.
6. Nervous system

- can contribute to better concentration and mental clarity
- traditionally used as a support for chronic fatigue
Who is tea especially useful for?
- to people with joint and muscle pain
- to people with arthritis and degenerative changes
- athletes and recreationists
- to people with chronic inflammatory conditions
- to people looking for natural support against pain
