Turmeric + Black Pepper 500 mg Capsules

Description

Turmeric (curcuma longa), known for its active compound curcumin, is celebrated for its powerful calming properties and potential antioxidant effects.

Black pepper, which contains the active compound piperine, helps improve curcumin absorption by up to 2000%, making them the perfect synergy to support your well-being.

Our potent 500 mg turmeric + black pepper capsules are made with a high-strength 95% curcumin extract and a 95% piperine black pepper extract which allow you to reap the benefits of turmeric in a highly concentrated and potent form.

Standard turmeric powder only contains approximately 3% curcumin, meaning one would need to consume over 30 capsules to get the equivalent curcumin dose to just one of our curcumin supplements.

Price match guarantee – we aim to offer the most affordable curcumin UK prices. If you have found a better offer, please get in touch!

Culinary turmeric powder is in itself a very healthy food ingredient. However, to get the same health and well-being benefits as concentrated curcumin supplements, it would be necessary to consume a very large amount which would not be tolerable for most people.

How many turmeric capsules should I take per day?

Turmeric supplements or curcumin supplements that do not contain supporting compounds such as piperine (black pepper extract) may indeed have low bioavailability (absorption rates by the body). Black pepper extract can boost curcumin bioavailability by up to 2000%.
