Turmeric / Curcumin with Black Pepper

Turmeric root or a curcumin extract (the yellow part) in capsules, with black pepper extract (piperine) because curcumin on its own barely absorbs.

• Curcumin + piperine
• Capsules
• 90–180 count

Why you’d want it: The most-bought spice-in-a-capsule on Amazon, and the one on every 'recovery' shopping list.

Picking tip: 'Turmeric 1,500 mg' and 'curcumin 500 mg' are not the same strength: turmeric root is only about 3% curcumin, so read which one the number refers to. Take it with a meal that has some fat in it. It can stain: keep the open capsule away from white worktops.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.
