"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."
