This vitamin and mineral-packed root is traditionally used in herbal medicine. We’ve combined this with black pepper and ginger root powder to make it even easier for the body to absorb. What is turmeric? Turmeric root has been used for over 4000 years in traditional Indian medicine. It’s often used in cooking, but more recently it’s taken as a vitamin supplement. Why is turmeric combined with black pepper? Combining turmeric powder with black pepper is said to help your body absorb the supplements. In this supplement, turmeric is also combined with ginger root which is said to have anti-inflammatory properties. However, there is little clinical evidence to support these claims, and more research needs to be carried out before it can be recommended. Please bear in mind that you should consult a healthcare professional before trying turmeric and black pepper and to continue to take any prescribed medication.
