   TURMERIC

Turmeric is closely related to ginger and has been used for thousands of years throughout its native Southeast Asia. It has traditionally held a high medical value in Indian, Chinese, and other Southeast Asian medical systems. While you may be more familiar with turmeric as a spice often used in curries and other Asian cuisines, it has many health benefits. Taking turmeric has almost immediate health benefits due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.8 In one study, patients with gastric ulcers took daily turmeric supplements. After four weeks, 48% of patients were healed, and this number jumped to 76% after 12 weeks. A daily curcumin supplement for 18 months. This showed a clear improvement in memory and brain performance. Finally, a group of coronary artery bypass surgery patients who took curcumin a few days before and after their surgery had a 65% lower risk of having a heart attack following the procedure.

Side Effects – currently, there are not any reported side effects for the top-rated turmeric supplements.

Black pepper extract, also known as piperine is the extract obtained from black pepper fruits which have been found to enhance the absorption of turmeric by the body up to 2,000%. Black pepper extract helps to boost the bioavailability of any turmeric supplement. (Bioavailability refers to the rate at which drugs get absorbed into the system). Curcumin is the main property of turmeric known to have very poor bioavailability. The black pepper extract, therefore, helps to increase the amount of turmeric curcumin that can be absorbed by the body. So, in short, it is essential that you look for turmeric curcumin supplements that contain black pepper extract.
