Curcumin also needs some kind of fat for its absorption. So turn to healthy fats like ghee or olive oil.

Why the Turmeric with Black Pepper Combo?

 

    1. Turmeric powder is a spice known for its health benefits since ages in Ayurveda. It’s the compound ‘curcumin’ in turmeric which possess the so-called nutritional attributes. However curcumin is poorly absorbed in the body as it is easily metabolized. 
    2. Thus its combination with black pepper came into limelight. Freshly ground black pepper contains a compound viz. ‘piperine’ which inhibits the metabolism of curcumin and thus makes more of curcumin available to the body. Thus piperine increases the amount of curcumin being absorbed in the body too. 
    3. What more? You also need to add a dose of fat in this combo, as curcumin is fat-soluble and is absorbed the most in presence of a fat like ghee or coconut oil or olive oil.

Ratio of Turmeric Powder to Black Pepper

 

    1. There is no specific ratio of turmeric powder to black pepper to be consumed in reality. It is said that the average content of curcumin in turmeric ranges from 4-7% and average content of piperine in black pepper ranges from 2-7%. A ratio of 100:1 of curcumin to piperine is recommended. However this quantity seems to be very small. Since it is difficult to get perfect ratios of these bioactive compounds, to make it simpler it is said that even 1/20th of pepper powder is enough to increase the bioavailability of curcumin from turmeric powder. This means that 1 tsp of turmeric powder (2 g) can be combined with 1/8th tsp of freshly ground black pepper powder (250 mg).

FAQ for Turmeric with Black Pepper for Anti-inflammation

 

    1. Q. Can u use honey or real maple syrup instead of olive oil?  A. We have used ghee as curcumin - the substance in turmeric powder has high bioavailability in the presence of fat as it is fat-soluble. But you can use honey if you wish to. Honey also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties.
    2. Q. I have been taking turmeric and ground pepper in water or kombucha. No oil. Will it still benefit me if I mix with water. Don''t know if I can handle the oil paste mixture. But truly glad I saw this post. Thank you. I''m 80 years old. Fairly healthy except for screwed up low thyroid. A. Curcumin also needs some kind of fat for its absorption. So turn to healthy fats like ghee or olive oil.
    3. Q. Can you advise how to take this please? Off the spoon? With a meal ? If a meal What kind of meal ? Is it ok with porridge etc Thank you. A. Serve off the spoon immediately and have it on its own and not with other foods.

Pepper may irritate the digestive tract and that may be a reason for acidity.

Yes, you can have this combination. It may help to reduce inflammation in the body. However, please note that all these natural remedies may help prevent or delay the onset of cancer, but they may not be a remedy to overcome any type of cancer.

Hi, I am a Hepatitis Carrier, had liver inflammation 2 years ago, currently on Liver Medication every morning without meal, 1-2 hours before meal. Please advise, when is the best time to take this remedy? When i mentioned to my doctor that i will be taking this remedy, she has no objection to this supplement. Which way is more effective, mix the paste with water or take the paste directly without mixing with water? Please advise. Thank you.

Have the paste without water. You can take it any time of the day. Prefer it early in the morning on an empty stomach or in between meals. However it is advisable to not consume anything for half an hour after having this paste.

I do love what it does for my well being. I somehow stopped without realizing and don?t know how that happened because I love the way it helped with inflammation and energy. This morning I think the 1/8 tsp of tumeric was more than it should have been. Due to a few lumps within the measurement. My question is how much does this matter?

I mix it all together turmeric ginger black pepper with coconut oil. It does go a little hard. This does not worry me. I take it every morning 1 teaspoon have been doing this for about 5 years. Are you saying it does not work as well by mixing a lot together regards Betty

Thanks for the recipe. If I am using 5 gram of turmeric, 1/10 teaspoonful of black pepper is kinda too little to blend really smooth. Will the black pepper loose its active ingredient if I ground a weeks supply for everyday use instead of grinding the little quantity needed everyday?
