Herbals Diet Curcuma&Pepper capsules

Turmeric is one of the most common ingredient in the Indian cuisine as most dishes are prepared with it. 

While curcumin in turmeric has antioxidant, antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, black pepper has properties that improve digestion, boosts metabolism, regulates nerve signals and controls obesity. Speaking of turmeric and black pepper together, curcumin in turmeric cannot be used properly by our body because of its poor bioavailability. The component's metabolism is pretty quick in the liver and intestinal walls. Only a small fraction of curcumin enters out blood stream. This is where black pepper plays an important role. Black pepper is known to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties just like turmeric. Piperine is an important and extremely healthy bioactive component which is present in both white and black pepper.

Studies have found that piperine in black pepper improves bioactivity of curcumin in humans. It also improves its concentration in the serum. The best part is that there are no side effects of consuming turmeric and black pepper together. The two ingredients can be used together in various ways.Health benefits of turmeric and black pepper:

4. Controls obesity

People on weight loss expedition can use black pepper and turmeric to enhance their process of burning fat and losing weight. Having a mixture of turmeric, black pepper and ginger in warm water early in the morning gives a nice boost to metabolism.

This is possible because curcumin interacts with body's pancreatic, fat, liver and immune system cells. It also takes care of activities such as immune resistance and inflammation.  Similarly, black pepper and ginger have a beneficial effect on insulin resistance and fat storage. It reduces both insulin resistance and inflammation. When combined together, the two work wonders for burning excess fat.  

Besides piperine, other things which improve bioavailability of curcumin include fat (because it is fat soluble), quercetin (a flavonoid present in citrus fruits like lemon, ginger and even apple Cider Vinegar) and heating.

5. Prevents cancer

It is said that the combination of turmeric and black pepper can prevent risks of cancer. Curcumin plays the role of killing cancerous cells. There have been studies which illustrate the promising nature of turmeric's effect on breast cancer cells, gastric and colon cancer cells and also leukemia cells. Indians consume turmeric on a daily basis. This is probably why the incidence of cancer is low in India as compared to the western countries.
