Pairing Turmeric with Black Pepper
A substance in black pepper known as piperine increases the bioavailability of turmeric. It does so by delaying the metabolic breakdown of turmeric compounds in the gut and liver to allow higher levels of those compounds to stay in the body for longer, thus increasing the amount of time our body has to absorb those compounds before they are eliminated from our body.
