Yes, most Turmeric products contain pepper to enhance absorption. I'm 57 and had chronic headaches my entire life (6-7 days) a week. In my 40s I discovered Turmeric and it has been the closest thing to a cure that I have found. I've gone from moderate to severe daily headaches, to 1-2 a week that are mild.

Turmeric with black pepper changed my life! No asthma, no allergies, no stomach issues, ...🙏

[mrentertainer]

I found that turmeric with black pepper, in squeezed lemon and acv seemed to cure my urinary tract problems and prostate issues, along with low carb diet and exercise.

From Lopresti 2018 “curcumin's potential as a therapeutic agent may not solely rely on its bioavailability, but rather its medicinal benefits may also arise from its positive influence on gastrointestinal health and function. “ in the journal Advanced in Nutrition

You have amazing content man - plus your presentation style is so easy to understand. Thanks for all of this - great work.

I open a capsule and pour the powder along with black pepper in a small glass of water and heat it enough to make it warm. It absolutely works, the joint pain I was experiencing is dramatically decreased. It does work for me.

Long story short: get a curcumin supplement that contains Piperine. If the supplement does not contain Piperine then take it with a small amount of ground black pepper (which contains Piperine).
Studies have shown that Piperine increases bioavailibily (absorption) of Curcumin up to 2000% (!).
It's also good to take Curcumin along with some type of fat, so after a meal would probably be ideal.

I often wonder what supplements make it past the stomach…would love to see a video on that subject

[hitmusicworldwide]

I've heard this. None the less without and before all the hoopla, I used it and it cured I mean cured arthritis that I was beginning to have and have never felt since in my fingers. Definitely not a waste of money. There are most likely all sorts of interactions going on. Who knows, perhaps even with gut microbiota that are also contributing to this. To be continued... Meanwhile I love Indian and South Asian food.😊

Whilst the black pepper hack has been known for a long while I did not know that without it Curcumin was useless, so thanks for that.

Several years ago, I started taking half a teaspoon of turmeric, half a teaspoon of amla, and a fourth of a teaspoon of black pepper (as a spice tea) in the mornings and evenings. I have had lipomas (large, hardened fatty cysts) on my shoulder and back for years. Within a month or two, both lipomas swelled up and became inflamed. I was worried about this and made an appointment with my doctor. I ended up canceling the appointment because both lipomas healed up and went away entirely. I can only guess that my immune system was somehow activated by the spices and attacked the lipomas. I have had problems with sensitive, red skin for years, and that also went away entirely. I have no idea what the mechanism for this miracle was, but I'm not going to stop sipping my spice tea.

No body mentions how effective this root is at blocking iron absorption in the digestive trac. For me, with iron overload, this is a really good property. From my monthly blood tests I do see my normally increasing ferritin level stop in its tracks… sometimes even dropping in value. My dose is 500mg twice daily and am considering more.

Golden milk or golden chai tea is amazing with blackpepper, cinnamon, tumeric, anise star, clove etc

[dantheflim]

I was going to comment negatively Bud until you nailed it at the end. Love your work.

[jchall]

I had such pain from arthritis that I walked with a cane. Pain and iinflamatiin gone after sippin golden milk before bed. 5 grams recommended powder turmeric is about 1 tsp. . Combine with 1 or 2 tsp good extra virgin olive oil.(turmeric is only oil soluble )and few dashes pepper( vastly increase body's use of tumeric). After mixed to paste add one half to tsp powdered ginger( also antiinfamatory). Pour in 1 cup warmed milk and honey to taste.

[lmtrevino]

Turmeric is amazing! Has helped my inflammation and lower blood pressure too. I use it religiously 😂❤❤

[zhilahaghbin]

Thanks much Nick, I envy your student what an intelligent and amazing Prof they have, I wish I had you as my prof in medical school, trust me I would be a different and even better doctor

[hoffmancapote]

Thanks Nicholas. I have always taken turmeric with pepper for many years. Never bothered with the the supplements

@physionic there is discussion now on if curcumin acts best in the GI tract and if we don’t actually lessen its efficacy with adding agents like piperine or bioperine.
Curcumin has potential on regulating bowel microbiota and it is proposed that actually this effect could be responsible for most of its effects.
