This Is A Must Read Before Ever Using Turmeric Again

Since turmeric is fat-soluble, in order for your body to fully absorb it and experience its amazing health benefits, turmeric needs to be combined with a fat.

When eaten with healthy fats, such as coconut, ghee or olive oil, curcumin can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lymphatic system thereby in part bypassing the liver.

This is very important because less curcumin is exposed to metabolic enzymes and remains in a free form allowing it to stay in the body longer. via DrNibber

3. Heat Increases Turmeric’s Bioavalibility

“The potent ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which, despite its power, is not easily absorbed by the body without assistance. This is where the sauté pan and a little warm oil come into play,” Dr. Sukumar explains.

“I use it [turmeric] in every sauté, just a quarter teaspoon, a half teaspoon is enough. But you don’t have to use it sparingly – use it lavishly.”

“The better way to take it, I feel, is to use it in your cooking very extensively. If you have any sauté, just sprinkle it in. The moment you heat oil and add turmeric to it, it now becomes completely bioavailable to you.”

BOTTOM LINE

To maximize the effectiveness of the turmeric you’re eating always make sure to do these 3 things:

• Activate turmeric by heating it up.
• Boost turmeric’s absorption by 2,000% by combining it with some freshly ground black pepper.
•  Mix turmeric with a healthy fat to bypass the liver.

Dosage guidelines according to the University of Maryland Medical Center:
