Curcumin (a powerful antioxidant) Sounds like a fancy thing, but it’s actually the active compound in turmeric (haldi). Curcumin is what gives haldi its vibrant yellow color — and its world-famous antioxidant properties.   One serving of this protein contains 0.3% curcumin which has an ORAC score (measure of a food’s total antioxidant capacity) of approximately 1500 micro mols. That’s 2X one serving of green tea, in just one scoop (whaaaaa!). Are you curcumin kiddin me!
