Have you heard of Paleovalley's amazing Turmeric Complex? It contains whole food and organic turmeric instead of just isolated curcumin.

And we know that organic turmeric is way better, and one of the best things you can take to shut down inflammation in the body and support healthy blood flow and blood pressure.

It also includes coconut oil and black pepper as its ingredients, which has been shown to improve the absorption of turmeric by 2000%! Plus, there’s also organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves which synergize with the turmeric to help improve digestion and blood sugar.

Paleovalley's Turmeric Complex also supports joint health, mental clarity, and improved brain function. You’ve just got to try this product. Visit paleovalley.com/jockers!

“Personalized lifestyle interventions hold a great promise to seeing real improvement with people with cognitive decline, dementia, Alzheimer's disease.”
