These gummies are essentially gut loving gelatin "lollies" with the addition of the anti-inflammatory powerhouse turmeric. What we’re after in turmeric root is curcumin or curcuminoids, which are the compounds possessing anti-inflammatory properties. Ingesting turmeric with black pepper helps our bodies extract and absorb more of the curcumin from turmeric. These homemade gummies are easy to make, contain only a handful ingredients and use the gut-healing superstar, gelatin.
