Is this turmeric produced without using toxic conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge?

Hello SB, our turmeric curcumin ingredient supplier has been around for decades and worked with its growers to ensure the highest quality herbal extracts. They source and use only organically cultivated/wild-crafted / medicinal grade herbs. It is Non-GMO. -- Regards, Apex Natural Customer Service

I don't think there's a process. I think organic is "less" processed. Our neighbors grow all their own vegetables without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. :-)

It states on the bottle that turmeric comes from the rhizome of the Curcuma longo plant. I am assuming the curcumin is in the capsules as it is part of the same plant, and to advertise the ingredient on the bottle without it being IN there would be illegal. The product WORKS...that is what I am concerned about.

I believe the only ingredient is turmeric powder. I've been using this product for quite some time--several years--and I think it's excellent.

No it just says no additives or preservatives. So I doubt that it's pesticide free, thankfully no tomatoes are GMO.

Yes. Ingredients listed: organic Turmeric root, black pepper (BioPerine) - other ingredients: vegetable capsules (no fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients)

All raw turmeric is going to contain lead at some very small level (ie: parts per million) - the question should be, is there an unsafe amount? Starwest tests for heavy metals (you can see it listed here under laboratory analysis - http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/quality-control.html), so you should be fine, but I bet you can get more detailed information by contacting them directly.

Everything I've read says 2.5 mg of biperine is what is effective. That's what this product has. Personally, I'm sold on the quality of Nutrigold products. Their Turmeric, like many of their other products, is GMO free. That's a MAJOR factor in my opinion when we have Monsanto pushing all of their polluted grains like corn, soy and canola.

Yes its raw, unprocessed, organic. It is not from one type of flower. That is monoculture farming and not a practice of most organic farms.

No it isn't listed. It lists as ingredients turmeric curcumin and veggie caps only. It states on the label "no binders, no fillers, no artificial ingredients, gluten free, dairy free, vegan friendly"

The only problem with this particular Turmeric item is that it doesnt contain "Bioperin" which is very important for maximum absorption of the Turmeric/Curcumin......I have been taking it for a year & now I realize that this is a very important ingredient necessary for maximum absorption of the Turmeric.......I will be switching to Doctor Danielle's or Naturally Holistic's brand ASAP

Info as found on http://www.nrdc.org/living/stuff/guide-greener-fibers.asp ---"Look for certified organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or genetically engineered seeds. Even organic cotton may be dyed using heavy metals and toxic substances. Look for products certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which requires the use of certifed organic cotton manufactured according to low-impact processes (see GOTS sidebar)."

The bottle says "Raw food-created nutrients", but doesn't list specific sources. Nothing is synthetic though & it has folate instead of folic acid, which I love as a midwife.
