There are three key properties which make turmeric so amazing for both hormone balance and enhancing fertility: anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and liver detoxification. All three of these elements can treat underlying factors for hormonal imbalance and fertility issues.

For women of any age (and men too, for that matter!), turmeric is an antioxidant-packed addition to add to your morning smoothie, dinner curry, or made into a delicious mid-afternoon drink (I won’t leave you hangin’, I do have a super yummy, easy recipe at the end of this article for you to try!). Turmeric is a rhizome that grows under the ground like ginger. In fact, it looks a lot like ginger root, except for its rich, bright orange color and also tends to be a little smaller in size. The use of this spice originated in Southeast Asia, where it is a vital component for traditional curries. Most grocery stores carry the dried, powdered form of turmeric in the spice aisle. And, most larger health food stores will also carry fresh turmeric root, which is amazing to cook with if you’ve never had the chance yet. This powerful spice contains an amazing anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and antioxidant compounds. The most widely known of these compounds is called curcumin. This bioactive compound is around 3-7% (by weight) of turmeric. Curcumin has been studied like crazy for its health benefits.

As discussed above, antioxidants are necessary in protecting our body against some of the deleterious effects of what we eat, our environment (the air, the products we use in our home, the products we use on our body, our stress levels, our sleep, etc. – if these things are not optimal. Antioxidants can also prevent aging at a cellular level, and this includes preventing damage to our egg health which can impact fertility (see my article on the use of coQ10 here for women trying to conceive. Another positive aspect of using turmeric to improve fertility is that turmeric may be helpful in improving our biological age. Our biological age is different than our chronological age (the age on our driver’s license) and takes into consideration many factors which include our diet, stress, exercise and other lifestyle factors which literally age us or keep us young. When we have a lower biological age, we set ourselves up for more success with getting pregnant at a later chronological age. One marker of our biological age is called a telomere. A telomere is the end cap on our DNA which affects cellular aging. The shorter the telomere, the more health risks are present that come with aging, including infertility. In fact, telomeres have been studied as a marker for male infertility. New research has also found that curcumin not only can stop telomeres from shortening, but can also protect and lengthen your telomeres, which is basically turning back your biological clock! Besides its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric also aids the liver in detoxification of hormones. It has been shown to aid in phase 2 liver detoxification, which helps in removing unneeded hormones and other toxins from the body. And, it also may even regenerate liver cells. Turmeric and curcumin may especially be helpful in conditions such as painful menstrual cycles, PCOS, hormonally related headaches/migraines, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and auto-immune conditions such as Hashimoto’s.

So, as with fat-soluble nutrients (like vitamins A, D, E, and K), to increase its absorption take with a healthy fat-containing meal like nuts/seeds, olives, or avocados. The second trick to get the most out of your turmeric is eating it with pepper. Interestingly, a compound in black pepper (piperine) enhances absorption of curcumin, by a whopping 2,000%! To use turmeric and curcumin medicinally, you’ll need a larger dose than just cooking with it in your dishes. This is when taking curcumin or turmeric in a supplement form is beneficial. Before taking a curcumin supplement, be cautious and speak with your healthcare practitioner if you:
