Turmeric, the key ingredient in golden milk, contains a bioactive compound called curcumin. Curcumin exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but not much of it passes into the bloodstream when we eat it. Scientists used a pH-driven approach to encapsulate curcumin inside the tiny fat droplets in soymilk, making it more bioavailable.
