What Is Golden Milk?

Known as haldi doodh in Hindi, golden milk gets its name from its bright golden hue. It’s primarily made by mixing yellow turmeric (as well as a few other spices) with milk — hence, why it’s also sometimes nicknamed turmeric milk — and is historically served as a warm, soothing beverage before bed since it’s naturally caffeine-free. Modern-day takes on this traditional drink may feature additional spices and come in other forms, like iced lattes or smoothies.

What’s In BioTRUST’s Golden Milk?

BioTRUST’s version of golden milk boasts the traditional ingredient turmeric, as well as five types of collagen and a warm spice blend.

• Turmeric: This spice contains the active component curcumin. It’s rich in antioxidants that may offer a range of benefits including reducing inflammation (in fact, one small-scale study found curcumin to be as effective as an arthritis medication at reducing inflammation) and offering immune support. Another medical review found that curcumin has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.
• Collagen: Collagen is a protein found in the skin, hair, nails, bones, and other tissues, where it maintains skin elasticity, volume, and moisture. Over time, the body produces less of it. While the jury’s still out on whether or not a collagen supplement can help with skin aging and enhancing your hair and nails, one review of 19 studies “showed favorable results of hydrolyzed collagen supplementation compared with placebo in terms of skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkles.” BioTRUST’s take on golden milk contains five of the main kinds of collagen sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised beef, sustainable fish, eggs, and chicken.
• Cinnamon and ginger: BioTRUST’s Golden Milk also boasts organic cinnamon and organic ginger that not only make it taste even more delicious, but may also benefit digestive health by encouraging digestion. One study concluded that these spices combined “helps to improve intestine inflammation.”

BioTRUST’s Golden Milk is gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free (note: It does contain ingredients derived from eggs, white fish, and coconut). It’s non-GMO and contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. Additionally, the product is made in an FDA-registered, Good Manufacturing Practices-certified facility (GMP), so you can rest assured that it contains the ingredients it says it does. It’s also paleo- and keto-friendly. However, always check with your physician before incorporating this (or any) supplement into your diet.
