    No—curcumin is the main yellow pigment extracted from turmeric and used as the food color E100, while turmeric is the whole spice/root containing curcumin and other components.

  2. What is turmeric curcumin good for?

    As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.

  3. How much curcumin per day?

    The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.
