VITAPROS TURMERIC, BLACK PEPPER & GINGER

Turmeric & Curcumin supplement that provides a blend of turmeric root and turmeric extract. This supplement provides 95% curcuminoids, the highest concentration available. Some curcumin products use an extract which provides only 85% curcuminoids. Curcumin is the constituent of turmeric that contains all the beneficial properties. In food sources of turmeric, curcumin only amounts to 3%. To further increase curcumin absorption, black pepper extract is included as it is renowned for increasing bioavailability of turmeric. Ginger, a member of the turmeric family, has also been added to the formula for its similar and complementary effects. Try taking turmeric with a meal that contains fat as this may further increase absorption. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is the spice that gives curry its yellow colour, with curcumin being its active ingredient. On its own, turmeric contains a low level of curcumin, around 3% by weight, which is insufficient for significant benefits. This blend addresses this by combining both turmeric extract and turmeric root, offering a much higher concentration of curcumin. Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%. Our health supplement uses the highest quality black pepper extract providing 95% piperine. This supplement is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is also approved kosher and does not contain any major allergens.
