not sure if you knew this or not but curcumin is very poorly absorbed now what is curcumin that is the main polyphenol or phytonutrient in the spice turmeric now curcumin has some seriously powerful antioxidant properties and it’s a very powerful anti-inflammatory it’s very effective in exercise-induced inflammation muscle soreness exercise recovery all the arthritises both osteo and rheumatoid it’s also good for your mood like in anxiety it’s been shown to be very effective in metabolic syndrome and it’s also effective in degenerative eye conditions like glaucoma cataracts problems with your retina and it’s very popular around the world india uses it in all their curries the u. s just sells supplements in thailand they use it in cosmetics in china they use it as a colorant to color certain things because of the pigment in korea they use it in a drink malaysia they use it as an antiseptic pakistan they use it as an anti-inflammatory in japan you can find it in a tea but the question is why does it absorb that well well because it’s fat soluble so unless you’re taking in a certain way you’re not going to probably absorb as much as you think there are three things that can help you increase the absorption the first one is to add another phytonutrient from black pepper called piperine you want to consume that at the same time so a lot of times when you’re taking curcumin it’s already coming with this black pepper extract piperine which will increase the absorption by 2 000 now the next thing you can do to increase absorption is to consume it with some fat it can be fat from an avocado it can be fat from your meals from your meats from eggs it doesn’t matter but anytime you’re taking a fat soluble vitamin whatever it is you’re going to absorb more of it if you take it with a fat and the last thing you can do is you can heat it slightly this is why when you’re using in a hot tea or maybe a curry the heat if it’s not overdone can actually activate more of this vital nutrient and if you haven’t seen my other video on curcumin i put the link down below check it out hey before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my content i would love to hear about your success story please share it in the link down below you
