15 Dec 2025 · 10 min
JJ Virgin explains that curcumin, the active compound in turmeric drops, works as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant but needs fat and a bioavailable formula to actually absorb. She places it in a supplement stack that includes magnesium, vitamin D3, zinc, and essential fatty acids.

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze.

All right, so curcumin drops. So the first part of this question is what do curcumin drops do for you? But there's a bigger question here that Gail doesn't realize she asked. So the first thing is let's just talk curcumin, one of the most amazing nutrients that we can do. Oh my gosh. I love curcumin because it is great for your gut, it's great for your brain. The biggest thing that curcumin's amazing for is reducing inflammation. Like when I think of curcumin, curcumin amazing antioxidant, you can tell from the bright color, but it's really like the key number one thing is reducing inflammation. The challenge with curcumin is that you gotta absorb it to do that. And it is really tough to absorb. You need to make sure that you've got it with fat. So ideally the, you know, the form is super duper critical with your curcumin. So that's the key thing. So I don't know with the curcumin drops if they are in a super bioavailable form, but that's what I would look for because that's what you need to make sure is that you can not just take a supplement but absorb it. And that's the bigger thing to really look for in all supplements. And that is the big challenge that I see out there is, you know, there are places to save money. I am the biggest if, you know, like I love searching for bargains, but if there's a, if there's a sale on something, I'm going to stock up. However, I'm going to make sure that I'm getting the best quality of whatever I'm getting. So supplements are super key here for that. It is really, really important for you to find the best high quality, professional grade supplements that have therapeutic amounts of ingredients in their most bioavailable form. And then when you find those things, they only work if you take them regularly, right? So you want to make sure that you're on a good multivitamin mineral antioxidant formula. I call it your daily health assurance every single day. That's where you want to do a subscribe and save or auto ship situation. And if you've got them piling up, that's because you're not being consistent with them. That's a no. No. So I'm going to walk you through what I take and what I've done is I just make sure I get these things sent to me every single week, every single month. And what I've done over at JJ Virgin is given people discounts when they do that, because I want to reward the behavior of being consistent with health and especially now more than ever, like, you know, the prevention is. Is key here, right? Having a strong immune system is key. And one of the keys to having a strong immune system is making sure that you've got in your basics first. So good multivitamin, mineral, antioxidant formula, essential fatty acids that can help balance your fatty acids and reduce inflammation. Extra magnesium and then extra vitamin D3 with K1 and 2. Those are sort of my personal basics. I take my daily pack. I take extra vitamin D3 with K1 and 2, and then I take magnesium and fish oil and my enzymes. And then I've been popping in these zinc, my zinc lozenges as well. But that's where I want you to think of first is curcumin is amazing, but you got to make sure that the form you're taking in is actually being able to be absorbed. So that is super important. Glad you asked it. You got more for that question, more for that answer than you probably bargained for. But hopefully that helps you because I want to make sure, like my mission to help a billion people get healthy, most of that by helping other healthcare professionals get their message out to the world. But my mission there is, you know, one of the key foundational things is to make sure that you're taking quality nutrients on a consistent daily basis. And I'd rather see you take less more often than go try to get a big, you know, buy cheap stuff that doesn't work and load up on it, right? Get yourself. You are worth it. Take what? Take the best stuff you can get.

Hello, listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I check all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next reading. They share three books. They love one book. They don't and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And, of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change, or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try.
