Primary Differences Between Caffeine Anhydrous and Natural Sources of Caffeine

Caffeine is a stimulant that is found naturally in a variety of plants, including coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, and kola nuts. It is also available in synthetic form, known as caffeine anhydrous, which is a dehydrated form of caffeine that has had all the water removed.
There are a few primary differences between caffeine anhydrous and natural sources of caffeine:
1. Concentration: Caffeine anhydrous is a more concentrated form of caffeine than natural sources. This means that a smaller amount of caffeine anhydrous is needed to provide the same level of caffeine as a larger dose of natural sources. By comparison the anhydrous material is usually around 98% whereas Coffea arabica is around 70%.
2. Absorption: Caffeine anhydrous may be absorbed more quickly by the body than caffeine from natural sources. This means that the effects of caffeine anhydrous may be felt more quickly than those of caffeine from natural sources. That’s not always a good thing because one tends to experience the well-known caffeine crash.
3. Other compounds: Natural sources of caffeine, such as coffee and tea, also contain other compounds that may have their additional health benefits.
For example, coffee contains antioxidants and tea contains compounds called catechins that may have health benefits. Another example is a material found in myenergy® from The Smüthe Company. The material used in this formula is commercially sold as CoffeeBerry® Energy a premium source of Coffea arabica. This natural source of caffeine utilizes the entire coffee cherry yielding the caffeine from the bean and all of the polyphenols sourced from the skin and pulp.
4. Cost: Caffeine anhydrous is generally less expensive than natural sources of caffeine, such as coffee and tea. Prior to Covid, caffeine anhydrous was approximately 15 times less expensive than one specialty caffeine source.
Overall, the primary differences between caffeine anhydrous and natural sources of caffeine are their concentration, absorption rate, the presence of other compounds, and cost. However, this is an oversimplification because the speed of absorption can have significant adverse impact on one’s health.
Another concern lies in the purification and dehydration processes. These processes make use of heat and chemicals to remove the water which may not be the best, whereas the processes for naturally sourced caffeine is much simpler and cleaner.
Does Turmeric Provide Any Anti-Inflammatory Effects?
Paul Burton
Author
Well, this sort of a trick question. The answer is sort of but not really.
From previous articles you’re aware that turmeric is a spice that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. The active ingredient in turmeric that is believed to be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects is curcumin.
Curcumin is a polyphenol that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in some studies. It may work by inhibiting the production of certain inflammatory substances in the body, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and by inhibiting the activity of certain enzymes that play a role in inflammation.
While research on the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric and curcumin is ongoing, some studies have suggested that they may be helpful in reducing inflammation and improving symptoms in people with certain inflammatory conditions, such as osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Research is ongoing to fully understand the potential anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin and to determine their potential as a treatment for inflammatory conditions. Sabinsa®, is a prominent leader when it comes to turmeric and curcumin supplementation. Additionally, Sabinsa® has published numerous highly respected research validating much of what is understood about both turmeric and curcumin.
Conclusion
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric that is believed to be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. Technically turmeric has a role but only because of the small amount of turmeric it contains only about 3% by weight, but curcumin supplements are available that contain a much higher concentration of the compound. One example is a smoothie and food add-in boost by The Smüthe Company featuring a product ironically named “turmeric” that contains a 95% concentration of curcumin rather than the 3% naturally occurring in wholefood turmeric.
A great deal of confusion exists among consumers wanting to distinguish between turmeric and curcumin. This brief article is intended to clear the air as concisely as possible.
Turmeric is a plant that is native to South Asia, and it is a member of the ginger family. The root of the turmeric plant is used to produce a spice that is commonly used in cooking and has a warm, bitter taste and a bright yellow color. The primary active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is a polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric and is responsible for its bright yellow color and many of its health benefits. Turmeric contains a small amount of curcumin, only about 3% by weight. However, curcumin supplements are available that contain a much higher concentration of the compound, so it is possible to consume much larger amounts of curcumin through supplements than when using turmeric in cooking.
In summary, turmeric is a plant that is used as a spice, and curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric that is responsible for its health benefits. While turmeric contains small amounts of curcumin, it is also possible to consume much larger amounts of curcumin through supplements.
Three Powerful Curcumin Benefits that are Life Changing
Paul Burton
Turmeric is a well-known yellow spice that’s often used as a cooking agent. You know, to give it a “kick.” Turmeric powder is often added to soups, vegetables, fish, teas, salads, milk, and the list goes on. If you are a turmeric fan, it’s probably because you know how rich in vitamins and minerals it is, however, the active compounds in turmeric known as curcuminoids is the real star of the show.
In this blog, we are going to look at curcumin, the primary curcuminoid, and focus on 3 life changing benefits associated with curcumin supplementation. If we were to account for all “curcumin” related benefits, this short blog would end being an eBook.
As we get started, it is important to note that there’s a big difference between raw turmeric powder and curcumin. The curcumin content of turmeric powder is only 3% by weight. So, it’s important to educate yourself on the distinction between the two and not understand that inexpensive turmeric powder is nothing like a standardized concentrated form of curcumin. When considering using turmeric as a supplement, it should be a standardized form of curcumin as per below:
oTurmeric extract (root) (Curcuma longa) (standardized to contain a minimum of 95% curcuminoids)
Because, nearly all studies use turmeric extracts containing curcumin as opposed to turmeric powder, it makes healthy sense to use curcumin instead of turmeric. Due to the popularity of turmeric, many curcumin-based products are named TURMERIC so make certain to look at the supplement facts and verify that it contains standardized form of curcumin.
BENEFIT No. 1
The Naturally Occurring Curcumin in Turmeric Has Powerful Inflammatory Effects Making it A Potent Antioxidant
It is widely held that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in nearly every chronic Western disease. So, anything that can help fight chronic inflammation, and help prevent and even treat these diseases, is
welcome. Curcumin possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties capable of reducing chronic inflammation, resulting in the relief of symptoms and in some cases even helping reverse certain conditions.
Depending on the degree of intensity, every exercise session will cause varying degrees of microscopic damage (tearing) to muscle fibers. As a response to the intra-muscular damage, an inflammatory state is experienced resulting in potential extended delays in recovery and muscle soreness. As a proven anti-inflammatory supplement, curcumin is also effective in the management of post exercise-induced inflammation. The result may be faster recovery from exercise and reduced muscle soreness.
A strong word of caution: because curcumin has anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and blood-thinning properties, anyone on blood thinners or anticoagulants should consult their health care provider prior to supplementing with both turmeric and/or curcumin.
BENEFIT No. 2
Because Arthritis Patient Respond Well to Curcumin It is A Desired Supplement Among Those Experiencing Joint Pain
Arthritis usually deals with inflammation in the joints. So, given the fact that curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory, it stands to logic that it can help with many types of arthritis, i.e., osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Several studies, document curcumins role as an effective supplement for those suffering with arthritis. In fact, one study reported that 94% of those taking curcumin and 97% of those taking diclofenac reported at least a 50% improvement with the curcumin group experiencing less side effects. So, curcumin supplementation is regarded as a smart choice and should be considered by anyone being affected by arthritis.
BENEFIT No. 3
Curcumin Use Has Been Shown to Help Lower One’s Risk of Heart Disease
A very important benefit associated with curcumin supplementation is its role in improving endothelium (the lining of blood vessels) function. Endothelial dysfunction can affect the ability of the endothelium to regulate blood pressure and blood clotting. Studies have shown that curcumin favorably affects endothelial function. One study shows it works as well as a common statin drug, and another shows it’s as effective as exercise.
It seems like everything goes back to curcumins highly effective anti-inflammatory properties and because inflammation is such a strong component of heart disease, it is easy to understand why curcumin supplementation is popular among those concerned about heart health.
Naturally, anyone taking or planning to take curcumin for its role in heart health should first, discuss it with their health care provider.
How Much Curcumin Should be Taken Daily to Reduce Inflammation
Most experts agree that the magic number ranges between 500mg and 1 daily gram of curcumin is needed to have the desired anti-inflammatory response. Another calculation model is 1.4mg per pound of body weight. Hence, if you weight 140 pounds, based on this model the daily dose would only be 196mg. The consensus seems to point to the higher dose.
The Smüthe Company offers a product called TURMERIC which uses two branded forms of curcumin: C3 Complex® and C3 Reduct® both ingredients provide the highest concentration of curcumin. What’s special about this formula is the inclusion of BioPerine® a branded form of black pepper that has been clinically shown to increase curcumin absorption by 2000%.
There are many quality curcumin supplements on the market, but none provide the uniqueness of TURMERIC which can be added to anything. This product is unflavored, 100% natural, sugar free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, additives, and preservatives. They come in convenient stick packets that can be taken anywhere and because they are unflavored, can be added to any food or drink.
Conclusion
Hopefully, this article helps you understand that there’s a big difference between turmeric and curcumin and that there’s a specific concentration of curcumin that is desired. Although the number of benefits go far beyond the scope of this blog, you’re now familiar with three of the primary many benefits of curcumin. Lastly, you have a recommendation for where to start your curcumin question.

For some people, the moment they feel the chill of winter, fear seeps through their minds. Winter is a sign of getting sick and feeling exhausted, hence affecting even the easiest daily task. There is a lot you can do to help avoid these outcomes.
During winter the body tends to be more vulnerable to germs, infections, and viruses lingering around. A stronger immune system is what you need to navigate through winter without trouble. Let’s find out how.
Here are 8 tips to boost your immunity through the winter season:
Sanitization and Hygiene
Let’s start with the basics.
Every time you come in close contact with surfaces or even people that may be carrying germs and viruses or starting to get sick with the flu, you should immediately wash your hands. Make it a habit to sanitize common areas surfaces with disinfectants and wash your hands frequently. The CDC recommends washing your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds.
Something else you can do, especially if you want to be extra careful, is to sanitize the space around you with sprays and cleaners that target the harmful elements in your environment.
Wear the Mask
Regardless of where you stand about wearing a mask, regardless of whether you are fully vaccinated or not, it is not a bad idea to wear a mask.
The pandemic seems to be getting better, but new variants are popping up frequently which are more transmissible.
There’s no doubt, proven by science, wearing a mask can help prevent the spread of infections and viruses. In fact, in 2020, The Harvard School of Public Health reported a sharp drop in flu cases because of all the precautions taken to combat the pandemic including wearing a mask and social distancing alone.
Drink & Eat Foods to Keep you Warm
Eat hearty meals, like soups and stews with healthy spices. For example, spices like turmeric, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves are your best friends during winter.
With temperatures dropping, nothing can beat a cup of hot tea. Whether boosting your immunity or getting into the festive spirit, teas are always a great choice! Drinking tea may provide health benefits, and some may help improve immunity, such as turmeric, matcha, goji berry, and hibiscus teas.
Stay Hydrated
While summers make you feel thirsty because of the warm temperature and humidity, winter almost makes people forget to drink water.
Staying well-hydrated also helps our bodies fight off infections by transporting the right nutrients throughout our bloodstream. Staying hydrated during the winter months is crucial to maintaining your health.
Make liquids your best friend.
Maintain an Active Lifestyle
Exercising is not just for keeping your health in check but it also helps strengthen your immune system! Whether you prefer sweating it out in the gym or taking morning jogs – maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial for removing impurities and toxins from your body.
Take at least 30 minutes of your day to get some exercise. Make this a habit.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Got too many responsibilities and not enough hours of the day? Don’t make the mistake of sacrificing your sleep to complete tasks.
Give your body a chance to rest and recover from the stressful day by getting at least six to eight hours of sleep per day. During sleep, your body regenerates cells and enhances your immune system. So, cutting back those critical hours of sleep do you more harm than good.
Keep Your Stress Level in Check
As your body and brain perceive stress, your adrenal glands make and release the hormone cortisol, which brings along a plethora of health issues such as lack of sleep, weight gain, and a lowered immune response. As a result, you’ll be more susceptible to viruses like the common cold and flu and perhaps, COVID.
Good mental health is key to enjoying life and coping with day-to-day issues.
Make all efforts, be aware, and be prepared to cope with stressful situations. If you’re feeling too overwhelmed, consider taking a break!
Consider Taking an Immunity Boosting Supplement
Are you making sure to eat nutrition-packed meals? Do you think your diet consists of a healthy balance of vitamins and minerals? If not, supplements can make a huge difference!If you’re not a fan of veggies or fruits, your immune system will struggle with functioning properly, putting you at a higher risk of contracting infections and viruses.The Smüthe Company’s immunity has 11 nutrient-dense boosts that you can add to smoothies, protein shakes, juice, coffee, water, etc.
All of The Smüthe Company boosts are 100% natural, sugar-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, have only 5 calories, are free of preservatives, artificial flavors, and sweeteners. These products are carefully formulated to address specific goals including immunity, hearthealth, digestivehealth, turmeric, myfocus, recovery, and myenergy.
Let’s begin with a basic understanding of turmeric and curcumin.
Turmeric root (curcuma longa) is a rhizome (root) from the ginger family. It’s that oddly shaped thing in moms kitchen. Turmeric is a very popular spice used in millions of Indian homes to make various types of curries. For thousands of years, it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine.
Turmeric is rich in numerous nutrients such as vitamins a, b, c, e, and k as well as certain minerals, i.e., iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
Turmeric use and curcumin supplementation is believed to provide numerous health potentiating benefits, among them:
Brain And Heart Health
Blood Pressure Support
Cholesterol Support
Improved Digestion
Improved Liver Health
Reduction Of Joint Pain
Reduced Bloating
Pain Relief
Reduce Inflammation
It is widely accepted that reduced inflammation, can dramatically improve numerous health issues.
What About Curcumin?
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. We should note that curcumin is rich in curcuminoids a family of compounds present in turmeric of which curcumin is included. When considering supplementing with curcumin, a standardized extract that contains no less than 95% curcuminoids, has been clinically shown to be 20X more potent than moms kitchen counter turmeric root.
When consuming curcumin, one misses out on all of the vitamins and minerals found in whole food turmeric. However, unless you’re cooking with turmeric on a daily basis, it is not practical to consume the whole food turmeric. This is where a curcumin supplement, like turmeric by The Smüthe Company, containing a high concentration of curcuminoids is worth its yellow weight in gold. There are other curcumin supplements on the market but this particular product is extraordinarily simple with no preservatives, artificial components, corn, gluten, yeast, fillers, etc.
The Industry Leader
Turmeric is available in various forms. However, not many suppliers of the golden nectar match what Sabinsa delivers. Sabinsa is an Indian company, and an industry leader, that provides the highest quality of curcumin to the market. In fact the leading material in this space is a specialty form known as C3 Complex®, a product that is standardized to 95% curcuminoids, and holding numerous world-wide patents.
Turmeric Curcumin Oranges & Vitamin C
For our comparative purposes, think of turmeric as being the orange and curcumin as vitamin C. Both curcumin and vitamin c need to be extracted from the whole food.
Conclusion
It should be noted that when consuming curcumin, one misses out on all of the vitamins and minerals found in wholefood turmeric. However, unless you’re cooking with turmeric on a daily basis, it is not practical to consume the whole food. This is where a curcumin supplement containing a high concentration of curcuminoids (standardized to 95%) is worth its yellow weight in gold.
Remember, whole food turmeric is a great place to start when addressing digestive issues and moderate joint inflammation problems but you won’t get any meaningful amount of curcumin. On the other hand, when attempting to treat inflammatory conditions with a safer and all natural alternative to pain medication, curcumin supplementation is the way to go. Still, a health care professional should be consulted prior to use.

We are all looking for that one simple fix to help with the longevity of our brain function, but finding that secret weapon to help you safeguard your brain can seem like a challenge. It may come as a surprise, but protecting your brain may be more attainable than it seems. The secret that you have been trying to uncover is debatably one of the most well-known stimulants worldwide — caffeine.
Energy For the Brain
Through rigorous studies, Scientists have now found that caffeine, specifically from coffee, can actually help with brain health and even slow down mental decline. Like anything else, caffeine can bring both its benefits and risks. Still, through the study performed by the University of Ulster in Coleraine, it was concluded that when consuming coffee in moderation, the benefits greatly exceed any prospective risks.
The coffee bean can provide great health benefits with not only its caffeine content but coupled with its antioxidant properties; it is a true powerhouse. While coffee is readily available for purchase pretty much anywhere you go, it is important to make sure the caffeine you consume is of quality and comes from a good, clean source. Popular caffeine choices come from coffee, green tea, and supplements, but our favorite caffeine source comes from the Coffeeberry®.
The Coffeeberry®, also known as coffee fruit, is derived from the same source as the coffee bean, but unlike the bean, Coffeeberry>®utilizes the entire fruit. Normally, the coffee fruit is discarded during the coffee-making process, but new studies have shown that the fruit itself is actually a superfood!
We realized the benefits that Coffeeberry® can provide to its users and decided to utilize it in our myenergy drink boost. We made it super simple to get your brain food every day by implementing it into a stick packet that you can take with you anywhere you go. Mix into your smoothie of choice or another food base, and go! Protecting your brain has never been so easy until now!
Building a healthy smoothie can seem daunting, particularly when you realize just how many recipes out there are laden with added sugars, sweeteners, and extra calories. While delicious, these added sugars turn a healthy snack or meal replacement into a dessert recipe. At this point, you may as well eat a piece of candy.
But no more! Today, we take control of the kitchen and learn how to make your own unique brand of smoothies.
Mark Your Macros
The first (and easiest) step when preparing your smoothie is to approach it with a macro-focus. Healthy smoothies tend to tackle three main macros: proteins, healthy fats, and healthy carbs. For more about dietary macros and what they mean for you, click here. Ideally, you want to strive for a higher protein smoothie and lower in either carbohydrates or fats, depending on your goals, dietary choices, and personal preferences.
Pump the Protein
There is a popular misconception that only bodybuilders and gym rats need additional protein in their diet. Everyone needs to get around 52 g of protein a day, depending on body weight (this is about 0.8 – 1.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. An athlete may need more than this). Luckily, there are a variety of choices for healthy protein.
Even if you’re not a fan of whey protein powders, you still have options. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are both excellent protein sources for minimal calorie cost (Not to mention they put the smooth in smoothie). If you’re looking for a protein that does a little more for you, there are also organic plant protein powders like mycore that include servings of fruit, veggies, and immune-boosting antioxidants.
Build the Base
Most people start their smoothies with fruit juice as the liquid base. While tasty, juice contains large amounts of sugar with none of the fiber found in whole fruit. Luckily for us, there are various lower-calorie and lower sugar options from which to base our smoothie.
For more typical bases, we have water, ice, and low-fat milk. All of these are low-calorie vehicles that are safe and dependable in almost any healthy smoothie recipe. There are also liquid bases like unsweetened soy/almond/coconut milk, greek yogurt, coconut water, or even kefir for the more adventurous types out there. All of these carry additional benefits that help squeeze out value from every part of your smoothie.
Find the Right Fruit
Like using a juice base, we want to avoid high sugar fruits to limit our daily intake. Where fruits such as mangos, pineapple, and cherries might be tasty, they all clock in at over 15 g of sugar per cup.
Where my heart breaks particularly hard over mango, it’s not the end of the world. There are still plenty of healthy, low-sugar fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries that pack a tasty punch.
(Secret tip: Use frozen fruit for thicker consistency smoothies)
Get the Right Fats
Fats have a negative connotation, but your body benefits from having the right kinds in the right amounts. Avocados are a good source of healthy fat as well as adding creamy consistency to the smoothie. Chia seeds and flax seeds are other options, both toting omega-3 fatty acids that can benefit the body as a whole.
Go Green
If your kids are anything like my kids, getting them to eat any green veggies is nothing short of an ordeal (frankly, it’s no treat for me either). Luckily, we all are a bit more amenable when it comes to mixing it into our daily smoothie. Kale, spinach, even broccoli has made it into the smoothie, with my kids none the wiser.
Personally, my least favorite part of adding vegetables to smoothies is the prep work involved—big plug here for myveggie smoothie boost, which does all the work for me.
Beneficial Boosts
One of my favorite things about healthy smoothies is the variety of benefits you can work into them. With The Smüthe Company’s boosts, that has now become easier than ever! Whether you’re looking for a little more energy, improved cardiovascular health, or a focus-assist, there’s a boost for that.
Making your Healthy Smoothie Tasty
The best part of this list. Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it has to taste bad! A tasty smoothie can also be a healthy smoothie.
Try adding one of these flavors for a tasty (and sugar-free) addition:
Ginger (Finely grated)
Lemon/Lime Juice (Fresh is best)
Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened of course)
Mint Leaves
Cinnamon
