Supplementing with Turmeric

Turmeric may be consumed in a variety of ways, including smoothies, a simple tea, or just sprinkle the turmeric powder over vegetables themselves, but there is another option: taking a Turmeric supplement. Studies have noted that consuming a turmeric supplement with BioPerine (black pepper extract) may help increase bioavailability and absorption of turmeric throughout the body. BioPerine is a kind of piperine and can be found in plenty of high-quality turmeric supplements.
