Allergen free food supplement – 120 capsules. Natural Options Organic Turmeric & Piperine is a conveniently encapsulated potent blend, designed for optimal digestion and absorption. Research evidence and clinical trials have shown that the consumption of a diet abundant in turmeric is inversely correlated with numerous health issues.
The principal constituent of turmeric is curcumin, which is considered responsible for much of turmeric’s effects. Turmeric has been shown to reduce a number of precursors of inflammation within the body and has been shown to scavenge and purge free radicals from the body, which can damage the structure of the cells and potentially result in inflammation. Piperine is a derivative of black pepper, which is used to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients through increased absorption.
Turmeric has low bioavailability, because the majority of it is metabolised before it has the opportunity to be stored in the body. Piperine (black pepper extract) has been shown to increase the bioavailability of turmeric by up to 2000%, through the inhibition of digestive enzymes. Therefore, by combining turmeric and piperine is beneficial for optimising the effects.
