Turmeric & Black Pepper

The main active ingredient in Turmeric is Curcumin, a powerful natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound with many therapeutic effects. Turmeric is often chosen by arthritis sufferers to mitigate the pain and swelling caused by inflammation in the joints.

As well as being one of the most potent anti-inflammatories and antioxidants available, Curcumin also boosts levels of the brain protein BDNF which increases the growth of new neurons and may help fight degenerative processes in the brain. However, one of the greatest downfalls of Curcumin is that it’s not well absorbed in the body.

Piperine, a compound contained in Black Pepper, has been shown to help relieve nausea, headaches and poor digestion and also has anti-inflammatory properties.  However, its most significant property is its ability to significantly aid the absorption of Curcumin in the body by up to 2000%.  When combined, Curcumin and Piperine are a powerful inflammation-fighting duo that can help reduce discomfort and pain in the joints, the gut and elsewhere in the body.
