They are also really good at regulating temperature, and are certified free of harmful chemicals. Cozy Earth also makes other types of clean bedding, like duvets and blankets, that all feel amazing. Right now, Cozy Earth is offering my audience 40% off. Just head over to <a href="https://cozyearth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cozyearth.com/</a> and use the discount code DHRU40. </p><br><p>Not all turmeric supplements are created equal. I love taking Turmeric Complex from Paleovalley. It contains organic whole food turmeric, so you get the synergistic effects of all its compounds. It also contains coconut oil and black pepper which have been shown to improve the absorption of those active compounds by 2,000%, plus it includes other natural anti-inflammatories like organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves.
