not sure if you knew this or not but curcumin  is very poorly absorbed now what is curcumin  

that is the main polyphenol or phytonutrient  in the spice turmeric now curcumin has some  

seriously powerful antioxidant properties  and it’s a very powerful anti-inflammatory  

it’s very effective in exercise-induced  inflammation muscle soreness exercise recovery  

all the arthritises both osteo and  rheumatoid it’s also good for your  

mood like in anxiety it’s been shown to  be very effective in metabolic syndrome  

and it’s also effective in degenerative eye  conditions like glaucoma cataracts problems  

with your retina and it’s very popular around  the world india uses it in all their curries  

the u.s just sells supplements in thailand they  use it in cosmetics in china they use it as a  

colorant to color certain things because of  the pigment in korea they use it in a drink  

malaysia they use it as an antiseptic pakistan  they use it as an anti-inflammatory in japan you  

can find it in a tea but the question is why does  it absorb that well well because it’s fat soluble  

so unless you’re taking in a certain way you’re  not going to probably absorb as much as you think  

there are three things that can help you increase  the absorption the first one is to add another  

phytonutrient from black pepper called piperine  you want to consume that at the same time so a lot  

of times when you’re taking curcumin it’s already  coming with this black pepper extract piperine  

which will increase the absorption by 2 000 now  the next thing you can do to increase absorption  

is to consume it with some fat it can be fat from  an avocado it can be fat from your meals from  

your meats from eggs it doesn’t matter but anytime  you’re taking a fat soluble vitamin whatever it is  

you’re going to absorb more of it if you take it  with a fat and the last thing you can do is you  

can heat it slightly this is why when you’re using  in a hot tea or maybe a curry the heat if it’s not  

overdone can actually activate more of this vital  nutrient and if you haven’t seen my other video
