What It Actually Is
A 4:1 extract means roughly four parts of raw turmeric root were concentrated down into one part of extract — a standard way to concentrate a botanical without necessarily standardizing for one specific compound.

Turmeric root has a long history of use in South Asian cooking and traditional medicine, and a substantial modern research base explores its curcuminoid content for supporting a healthy inflammatory response.
Why It's Paired With A Second Turmeric Extract
This general 4:1 extract is paired with a second, curcuminoid-standardized turmeric extract (below) — giving the formula both broad turmeric compounds and a guaranteed curcuminoid percentage.
