<br>There are a number of supplement forms of turmeric widely available, however, high doses are needed in order to achieve all of the anti-cancer benefits, mostly due to the fact that curcumin is not absorbed particularly well. When we consume curcumin, most is metabolized before it is absorbed. However, combining [[Black pepper]] with curcumin can increase its bioavailability up to 2,000 times. Black pepper is super healthy in itself so this is a winning combination. Black pepper contains piperine which has been shown to increase serum concentrations of curcumin and its absorption in animal and human studies.<br>See also : [[Wild Turmeric]]
