TurmaForte™ Turmeric scientific study
TurmaForte™ Turmeric by Wild Nutrition is a clinically proven, full-spectrum organic supplement that reduces joint pain by 86.2% in just 21 days. Harnessing curcuminoids, turmerosaccharides, and turmerone oils, it offers powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support for joint and immune health.
Leaning on both traditional wisdom and modern science, Turmeric extract has traditionally been used for centuries for its anti-inflammatory effects and joint-supporting benefits. It derives from Curcuma longa, the Turmeric rhizome and is rich in polysaccharides. A premium root extract, TurmaForte™ is our full-spectrum concentrate of Turmeric designed to preserve all key therapeutic elements while respecting traditional preparations.
This means TurmaForte™:
- Delivers all active Turmeric components as found in nature
- Maintains the integrity of both water-soluble & fat-soluble plant compounds
- And is Certified Organic.
It also contains three essential fractions that are key to its potency:
- Curcuminoids - unlike most commercial Turmeric extracts, which only contain curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin, and bisdesmethoxycurcumin.
- Turmerosaccharides (water-soluble fraction) for joint health. Clinical trials show significant results within just 21 days when taking 500mg twice daily.
- Essential oils (oil fraction) containing turmerones, including ar-turmerone. This fraction offers benefits often missing from curcuminoid-focused products.
A gold standard study shows that TurmaForte™ has a significant impact on:
- Mobility & improving joint flexibility
- Reducing joint pain
- Lowering the need for painkillers

How was it conducted?
Researchers investigated whether the specialised Turmeric extract (NR-INF-02) could reduce pain and improve joint function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
120 adults (men & women) over the age of 40 took part
All had been diagnosed with primary knee osteoarthritis with consistent pain for at least six months
They were divided into four groups and for 42 days were randomly assigned to either 500mg of NR-INF-02 (TurmaForte™ Turmeric extract) twice a day, 750 mg of Glucosamine sulphate (GS) twice a day, a combination of the two, or a placebo.
What benefits were they seeking?
The study assessed how each would impact:
- Pain severity (via Visual Analogue Scale or VAS)
- Joint function (the WOMAC scale)
- Use of rescue medication (i.e., paracetamol)
- Overall improvement (Clinician Global Impression of Change - CGIC).
What did they find?
The study revealed that NR-INF-02, i.e. TurmaForte™ led to:
GREATER PAIN REDUCTION
Participants taking NR-INF-02 alone experienced a significantly greater reduction in pain than the placebo and even the combination group.
GREATER JOINT MOBILITY
Those taking NR-INF-02 alone had a significantly greater improvement in joint function than placebo or Glucosamine alone, experiencing improved mobility and reduced stiffness.
FAST RELIEF
Noticeable benefits were seen within 21–28 days of starting supplementation.
REDUCED RELIANCE ON PAINKILLERS
Participants in the TurmaForte™ group required significantly less paracetamol than those in the placebo group, and they also experienced the most consistent overall improvements.
Concluding that 1,000mg of TurmaForte™ or NR-INF-02 Turmeric extract provides a a safe, effective natural option for knee osteoarthritis, with symptom improvements experienced on pain reduction, flexibility and mobility while also minimising the reliance on regular painkillers like paracetamol. It may even provide a more anti-inflammatory benefit than Glucosamine alone, with benefits experienced in just a few weeks and no adverse effects reported.
