When consuming turmeric as a food, your body has to work to extract curcumin on its own, which requires a lot of effort. Also, some curcumin may be lost due to heat and chemical changes when cooking foods spiced with turmeric, which may prevent you from getting the full scope of benefits. Our Turmeric supplement uses Bioperine to help your body absorb the right levels of curcumin, maximizing its potency.
