Curcumin is the bioactive part of Turmeric and is concentrated at the stems of the cucuma longa plant. While a popular dietary supplement, many do not know that Curcumin has weak oral bioavailability. This is partly due to its rapid metabolism and its low intestinal absorption rate.

One way absorption can be improved by pairing it with a fat source such as fish oil. What is Piperine? Piperine is extracted from the Piper Nigrum plant which produces white and black pepper. Research has found that Piperine increases the absorption of some supplements that are consumed orally such as Curcumin. Why Should You Combine Curcumin With Piperine for Use as a Supplement?
