The Science Behind Turmeric Curcumin and Bioperine®
Curcumin belongs to a group of amazing active compounds found within the turmeric root. It has long been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines. It’s both rich in antioxidants and a fantastic daily supplement for encouraging reduced inflammatory processes in the body.*
To get the full benefits of curcumin, however, it must come with the right support ingredients. Curcumin in turmeric and piperine in black pepper have been shown to improve health due to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease-fighting qualities.
You now know that curcumin has some seriously impressive health benefits, but if you've been doing your homework, then you probably also know that curcumin alone is poorly absorbed by the body – making bioavailability a major issue.
Bioavailability is the amount of a substance that actually enters your bloodstream so you get the health benefits you're looking for. Without it, you're just wasting your money and time.
Enter Bioperine®, an active ingredient in black pepper is responsible for its pungency. It is an alkaloid isolated from dried Piper Nigrum fruits. It is a natural ‘bioavailability-enhancer'. Bioperine® in black pepper stimulates the gut amino acid transporters and thus promotes the absorption of curcumin.
