The spices black pepper (peperine) and turmeric (curcumin
and curcuminoids) work well together. Asian foods have tasted better and
been healthier for years! Curcumin and other curcuminoids – chemical
compounds in turmeric – are
antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial in
nature. Black pepper – akin to capsaicin – heightens
the potential of turmeric. Curcumin
is not very bioavailable, so black pepper allows it to be absorbed better. One
study exemplifies that if 2 grams of curcumin are taken
alone, there isn’t a noticeable serum level reaction. If it’s taken with 2mg of black pepper, its
absorbability increased 2000%! Together, black pepper and turmeric
offer to control obesity, high cholesterol and diabetes; relieve
peptic ulcers (by preventing H-pylori bacteria growth); prevent
some cancers, lessen pain even possibly neuropathic
pain (by initiating transient receptor potential
vanilloid type 1); and alleviate inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis,
ulcerative colitis and the like). (2) Novelli Wellness Center sees
