\"Turmeric<\/p>\n

Adding turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root to multiple things you eat throughout the day, such as saut\u00e9ed veggies, curry dishes, smoothies, and \u201cgolden milk,\u201d could be a great way to take advantage of curcumin\u2019s health benefits. The challenge is that turmeric is only around 3% curcumin, and the bioavailability of curcumin is low \u2013 meaning our bodies aren\u2019t able to absorb and use it very efficiently. But there are several things you can do to boost the bioavailability of the curcumin you eat.<\/p>\n

Consuming turmeric in its whole food form (fresh or dried as a powder) can enhance the bioavailability of curcumin seven to eight times.
\nAdding black pepper has been found to boost curcumin\u2019s bioavailability by 2,000%.
\nWhen consumed with fat (think eggs or flaxseeds), curcumin can bypass the liver and be directly absorbed into the lymphatic system.<\/p>\n
