Turmeric’s rich golden colour comes from plant compounds called curcuminoids, especially curcumin, which help the body maintain healthy joints and promote joint comfort. Research shows that curcuminoids can support the regulation of key signalling pathways in the body, helping to manage the activity of enzymes and naturally occurring compounds linked with the body’s immunological response.¹ ² ³ ⁴ They may also help maintain healthy cartilage by supporting the body’s own protective mechanisms for joint tissues.³ ⁴ In clinical studies on people with osteoarthritis, standardised turmeric extracts have been shown to help support joint comfort, flexibility, and everyday mobility.⁴ ⁵ ⁶ Benefits have been seen with a range of dosages and durations.¹¹
Givaudan responsibly cultivates our turmeric in southern India, in accordance with the principles of our Sourcing4Good programme, which promotes responsible practices across our supply chain. We ensure traceability, fair farmer incomes, and high curcumin quality through good agricultural practices, training, and low pesticide use. Initiatives include regenerative agriculture to boost biodiversity and soil health, and community projects such as building a new primary school, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, quality, and local well-being.
As one of the most widely used botanicals in foods, beverages, and dietary supplements, Givaudan has also developed Turmitrace™—a comprehensive program led by our agronomy team in Southern India to ensure only the highest quality of Turmeric extracts.
Through Turmitrace™, every step of turmeric’s journey—from cultivation to final raw material—is monitored and verified. The program focuses on sustainability, quality, and transparency, selecting premium turmeric varieties with high curcumin content and resistance to fungal disease.
Combining advanced crop science with digital traceability, Turmitrace™ also supports regenerative agriculture pilots and local processing initiatives to guarantee authenticity and provide adulteration-free, premium ingredients.

Generally considered healthier and more nutritious than the other main cereals, oats offer a full range of benefits in a single ingredient. OatWell™ can be provided in three different concentrations of beta-glucans, all delivering both soluble and insoluble fibres, along with an average of 21% - 23% protein.
OatWell™ uses a unique production process to fractionate the oat kernel into three product lines: beta-glucan products, oat flours, and oat oils. Our production process preserves the native structure of oat beta-glucans, retaining their high molecular weight during fractionation into oat brans with a high amount of beta-glucans.
The molecular weight of oat beta-glucan is essential to delivering health benefits. OatWell™'s beta-glucan has a very high molecular weight (2000-2500 kDa as naturally found in oats), which contributes to its unique viscosity and thickening properties. This viscosity has an important impact on physiological functions, such as reducing blood cholesterol levels, moderating blood glucose and insulin levels, and potentially benefiting satiety.
Benefits of OatWell’s high molecular weight:
The prebiotic effects of oat bran fibre have been validated through years of research. In a review by Malkki and Virtanen, they cite: “in the large bowel, soluble dietary fibre increases the fermentation activity, especially production of butyric acid, enhances growth and colonisation of some probiotic bacterial strains, increases production of microbial mass and thereby aids the removal of nitrogen via faeces. It also increases wet weight of stools, thereby alleviating constipation”.²¹
Research conducted on oat beta-glucan demonstrates that it meets three important criteria, confirming its status as a prebiotic fibre:¹ ²
