Curcuminoids

Turmeric’s golden pigments — famous, promising, and notoriously hard for the body to absorb.

Core Principles & Analysis

• Curcumin gives turmeric and curry powder their color and stains everything it touches.
• Bioavailability is dismal; co-dosing with black-pepper piperine multiplies absorption dramatically.
• Curcumin lights up many lab assays nonspecifically, so its clinical claims demand extra skepticism.
