"BIOAVAILABILITY

Of note is that curcumin is not readily absorbed. However, black pepper boosts assimilation by 2,000 percent. So pair your turmeric with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. You can further increase effectiveness by adding 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Since curcumin dissolves in fat, the oil quickly ferries the compound into the bloodstream.

If you choose to take a supplement, look for one that’s standardized to 95 percent curcuminoids and also contains piperine or black pepper extract."
