Turmeric, also known as the golden spice, is a tall plant that grows in Asia and Central America. It gives curry its yellow color and has been used in traditional Indian medicine for thousands of years to treat various health conditions.
The key compounds in turmeric are called curcuminoids. Curcumin itself is the most active ingredient and appears to be the most important. As a polyphenol, curcumin has severaladvantages to health. It ’s a strong antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
However, one of the greatest downfalls of curcumin is that it ’s not well absorbed in the body. As a result, you could be missing out on its advantages to health. However, adding black pepper can help. Research supports that combining the piperine in black pepper with the curcumin in turmeric enhances curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%. There are currently two theories on how this works. First, piperine makes it easier for curcumin to pass through the intestinal wall and into your bloodstream. Second, it may slow down the breakdown of curcumin by the liver, increasing its blood levels. As a result, combining curcumin with piperine increases its potential health benefits.
Black pepper contains the bioactive compound piperine, which is an alkaloid like capsaicin, the active component found in chili powder andcayenne pepper. Piperine has been shown to help relieve nausea, headaches and poor digestion and also has anti-inflammatory properties.
While curcumin and piperine each have their own health benefits, they ’re even better together. Both turmeric and black pepper have key active ingredients that contribute to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease-fighting qualities.
Some people may experience nausea, diarrhea and mild stomach distress, especially when taking high doses for prolonged periods of time. Tulsi is a herb that soothes anupset stomach. It treats indigestion, ulcers, vomiting, gastric irritation, acidity and stomach cramps. So combining tulsi will help to prevent or relieve any associated gastric symptoms.
