Turmeric and Black Pepper each have health benefits, due to the compounds curcumin and piperine. As piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2000%, combining the spices magnifies their effects. They might lessen inflammation and enhance digestion, especially if taken as supplements.

The key compounds in turmeric are called curcuminoids.
Curcumin itself is the most active ingredient and appears to be the most important.

Curcumin is a polyphenol that has many health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties in addition to being a potent antioxidant.

However, curcumin’s poor absorption by the body is one of its most significant drawbacks, which is why our tablets include piperine to increase curcumin absorption.

Piperine, a bioactive compound found in black pepper, is an alkaloid similar to capsaicin, the active ingredient found in chilli powder and cayenne pepper.

Piperine has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to help relieve nausea, headaches, and poor digestion.

However, its most significant benefit may be its ability to increase curcumin absorption.

Turmeric does not provide a quick fix, so you will need to take it on a daily basis to see results. If you’re wondering how long it takes turmeric to work, it depends on the individual. However, when taken on a daily basis, you should expect to see results in 4-8 weeks.
