Health Snapshot - Tumeric and Black Pepper, BETTER TOGETHER

Turmeric and Black Pepper, BETTER TOGETHER.

Turmeric delivers a healthy dose of curcumin. An antioxidant that can play a role in lowering inflammation as well as reduce your body’s post-meal insulin response by up to 20 percent (generally considered to be beneficial).

But curcumin isn’t very well absorbed or utilised by the body.

The fix?

A few grinds of black pepper. It contains piperine, a compound that increases curcumin’s ‘accessibility’ by as much as 2000 percent.
