Did you know that there are more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions? Arthritis is an informal way of referring to joint pain or joint disease, and generally refers to the inflammation of joints.

At the time of writing, Turmeron Joint is the only supplement containing Japanese White Turmeric that tackles primary inflammation.

Japanese White Turmeric is currently only grown in Kyushu, Japan. As there is a patent on the plant and its medicinal properties, only Turmeron Joint and its allied companies can sell it as a supplement.

With so many supplements out there for joint pain, you may be wondering what makes Japanese White Turmeric one of the best options in the market.

Here are 3 reasons why Japanese White Turmeric works so well for treating arthritis.

1. It contains large amounts of Labdane-type Diterpenes

Japanese White Turmeric is the only turmeric species known in the world that contains a large amount of Labdane-type Diterpenes (Labdane), enough to form a supplement.

Labdane, which is found in the roots of Japanese White Turmeric, has the ability to strongly reduce inflammation that occurs in the joint capsule.

Researchers found that Labdane controls inflammation in the synovial membrane. This eventually leads to a better cartilage condition.

2. Reduces pain

Japanese White Turmeric has been found to help reduce pain in patients suffering from arthritis.

In the initial in-house trials, 60 patients were involved in the testing of Labdane. And after that, another 30 patients from the Sodegaura hospital [1]. In both trials, patients had osteoarthritis on the knees.

They were given 3.2mg of Labdane in 2 capsules and their pain was measured on a scale called the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which is based on a rating between 0-10.

While patients initially reported moderate to severe pain (5.2 ± 2.6), the pain dropped to mild to moderate pain after 4 weeks (3.8 ± 3.0) and 8 weeks (2.7 ± 2.5) [2]. Some patients were even completely free of pain.

These results were statistically significant, meaning that the drop in pain was likely because of the Labdane rather than by chance.

3. No side effects

Japanese White Turmeric has also been found to reduce inflammation and pain with minimal side effects. In fact, the evidence we have on hand suggests that there are no side effects, nor interactions with other drugs.

This means that Japanese White Turmeric is safe to be taken with other medications or supplements.

Despite its newness in the market, Labdanes have been clinically approved, with two patents put on them [3] [4].
