Written on 05/02/2025 by Pauline de Santarome
Organic harpagophytum and turmeric are distinguished by their numerous health benefits. Native to different regions of the world and used for centuries in different cultures, these plants offer a wide range of benefits for well-being. When used together, these two plants can relieve joint and muscle pain and strengthen the immune system.
In this article, we will explore the individual properties of these plants and the potential benefits of combining the two.
What are harpagophytum and turmeric?
In herbal medicine, harpagophytum and turmeric are two plants that attract attention due to their various benefits for the body. They are also the main ingredients in dietary supplements for joints.
The benefits of harpagophytum
Harpagophytum, also known as "devil's claw," is a plant native to South Africa. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, it is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Indeed, this plant:
Reduces inflammation and protects cartilage cells, which may help relieve joint pain.
Prevents the enzymes responsible for inflammation from doing their job, which can help slow the progression of joint diseases.
Promotes digestion and relieves gastrointestinal disorders.
Santarome Bio's organic harpagophytum is a natural solution for restoring joint comfort and mobility. Formulated with 2000 mg of organic harpagophytum per ampoule and enriched with a trio of organic pine, blackcurrant, and birch buds, this dietary supplement also helps eliminate toxins and regenerate joint tissue.
The Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric is a herbaceous plant belonging to the ginger family, native to India and Southeast Asia. Its root, recognizable by its yellow-orange color, is used as a spice in cooking and as a traditional remedy in Ayurvedic medicine.
Turmeric is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to its curcumin content. This active substance is effective in relieving joint pain and fighting chronic inflammation.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is also a valuable aid to digestion. It stimulates bile secretion, facilitates fat digestion, and relievesdigestive disorders.
The potential benefits of the partnership
Harpagophytum and turmeric combine to offer powerful synergy. Together, they increase their benefits tenfold and contribute to overall well-being:
Relief from joint pain: their combined anti-inflammatory action combats the inflammation that causes joint pain.
An analgesic duo: harpagophytum and turmeric combine to reduce pain and provide natural relief.
Improved digestion: Harpagophytum soothes digestive problems such as bloating and cramps, while turmeric stimulates digestion and facilitates nutrient absorption.
Strengthening the immune system: acting as powerful shields against free radicals, these two plants protect cells and boost the body's natural defenses.
Santarome has combined these two powerful active ingredients in a unique formula: Joint Comfort 20 ampoules. This high-dose dietary supplement offers you a natural solution to relieve joint pain and improve flexibility and mobility. This formula also contains Canadian fleabane, blackcurrant, and horsetail.
Precautions for use
Before starting a treatment based on Harpagophytum and turmeric, it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional, especially if you are already undergoing treatment, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
Be sure to follow the instructions on the product packaging or the recommendations of your healthcare professional regarding dosage and duration of use. Excessive use may cause adverse effects. If you experience any symptoms, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Studies and research
Research conducted by the IEPP has demonstrated that turmeric has extensive anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin, the main pigment in turmeric, acts on various inflammatory pathways. These effects have been observed in humans and are beneficial in the treatment of various conditions such as cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, and neurological and gastrointestinal disorders. According to the WHO, the use of this spice is also recognized as "clinically justified" in cases of hyperacidity.
The effectiveness of harpagophytum is widely recognized by health authorities:
In 1989, Commission E of the German Ministry of Health approved its use for treating loss of appetite, digestive disorders, and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
In 1996, ESCOP confirmed its benefits against osteoarthritis and tendonitis pain. The WHO has also approved it for rheumatic pain.
In 2008, the European Medicines Agency ( EMA ) recognized its effectiveness in relieving minor joint pain, while France's National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety ( ANSM ) added it to its list of traditional medicinal plants.
