Turmeric and pepper: a golden combination

In Indian cuisine, many dishes contain turmeric and pepper, and in this country, a number of diseases that we encounter in the Western world are almost non-existent. Coincidence, or a golden combination? The spice turmeric gets its yellow color from curcumin, and this powerful antioxidant is linked to a variety of health benefits. When you eat curcumin, only a small amount ends up in your blood. Your liver breaks down the curcumin.

Curcumin from Goldea Health

Active ingredients in our Curcumin supplements

Curcumin C3-complex®

Very high curcumin content (95%). Curcumin gives turmeric its bright yellow color.

Bioperine®

A component of black pepper that, among other things, provides the sharp taste of this spice. Makes curcumin more absorbable.

The effect of pepper on the absorption of curcumin

If you eat regular turmeric, the Curcumin is visible in your blood after a few hours. However, the amounts are small, because your liver starts working to break down the Curcumin. Do you combine eating turmeric with pepper? Then the values of Curcumin in your blood shoot up, because the substance Bioperine® in black pepper inhibits the breakdown process.

Turmeric and Bioperine®: Not for Everyone!

Both turmeric and Bioperine® can affect the way your body absorbs medications. Are you taking medication? Always consult an expert before starting to use a supplement.
