How to Use Curcumin (Turmeric)

Curcumin is more potent when ingested with black pepper. Research suggests that consuming black pepper with curcumin enables the body to absorb curcumin by an additional 2,000%!Liquid curcumin may also work well for those who cannot tolerate black pepper.

Either form—dry or liquid—may be added to foods or beverages and consumed orally (by mouth). Just know that research suggests that the body does not readily absorb pure curcumin/turmeric powder by itself.
