Is curcumin the same as turmeric?
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.
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.
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.
Turmeric curcumin para que sirve?

What is bentonite clay?
A natural aluminum phyllosilicate clay (mostly montmorillonite); as food additive E558 it’s used to prevent clumping (anti‑caking) and to clarify wine and juices as a fining/processing aid.
How much bentonite clay to drink for detox?
There is no approved or evidence‑based oral “detox” dose—health authorities do not recommend drinking bentonite clay, which can bind medications/nutrients and may contain heavy metals.
Does bentonite clay expire?
Being a mineral, it doesn’t spoil, but follow the manufacturer’s shelf life; store airtight and dry to avoid moisture, contamination, or caking.
How to use bentonite clay?
In foods it’s added by manufacturers as a small‑dose anti‑caking agent, or hydrated as a slurry to fine wine/juice and then removed with the sediment; it’s not intended to be taken as a drink.
Is bentonite clay safe?
At permitted food levels E558 is considered safe (e.g., GRAS in the U.S.; EFSA found no concern at reported uses), but ingesting clay products for “detox” is not advised due to possible contaminants and interactions; avoid inhaling the dust.
