Turmeric is a tall plant that grows in Asia and Central America. It gives curry its yellow colour and has been used in traditional Indian medicine for thousands of years to treat various health conditions. Studies support its use and show that it can benefit your health.

Black pepper is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, known as a peppercorn, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Both turmeric and black pepper have key active ingredients that contribute to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease-fighting qualities ¹.

Here are some of the potential health benefits of combining turmeric and black pepper, based on science:

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory effects, which may help reduce inflammation in the body. Piperine, the active ingredient in black pepper, has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties ¹.

2. Improved Digestion: Piperine has been shown to help relieve nausea, headaches and poor digestion ¹.

3. Boosted Immunity: Curcumin has been shown to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which may help boost the immune system ¹.

4. Lower Blood Sugar: Curcumin may help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes ¹.

5. Anti-Cancer Properties: Curcumin has been shown to have anti-cancer properties in test-tube and animal studies ¹.

Turmeric contains vitamins B6 and C, fibre, potassium, and healthy amounts of iron and magnesium ¹. Black pepper contains vitamins K and C, potassium, fibre, and small amounts of iron and calcium ¹.

When combined, turmeric and black pepper may enhance each other’s effects. Piperine in black pepper has been shown to help increase the absorption of curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%
