Increasing absorption of Turmeric

Turmeric (specifically its active compound curcumin) has very low bioavailability on its own, meaning your body doesn’t absorb it well. To increase its absorption:

1. Add Black Pepper:
Piperine (in black pepper) can increase absorption by up to 2,000%.

2. Consume with Fat:
Curcumin is fat-soluble, so taking it with healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or coconut oil helps absorption.

3. Heat It Gently:
Lightly heating turmeric when cooking can increase its bioavailability.

4. Use Fermented Turmeric or Liposomal Curcumin:
These advanced forms are designed to boost absorption and are available in supplement form.
