Turmeric is a true superfood that with tons of amazing health benefits, while the active ingredient of it-curcumin isn’t easy to be absorbed by your body, it means turmeric had low bioavailability. “Bioavailability refers to the extent to and rate at which the active moiety (drug or metabolite) enters systemic circulation, thereby accessing the site of action.” Explained by the Merck manual.

This character of turmeric has been proven by several studies:

A 1978 study (1) in the rat found that curcumin was poorly absorbed in the gut, less part was absorbed and almost 3/4 of it was excreted via the feces.

Another recent study (2) found that only 0.36ug/ml of curcumin was found in the blood serum when 10mg/kg of curcumin was orally administered.

In these researches, even increasing the dose could not lead to better absorption. So it’s essential to find ways to increase the bioavailability of curcumin in the body. Healthyandnaturalworld listed 3 methods for this:

Mix it with black pepper;
Mix it with fats;
And mix it with quercetin.
Check how these 3 methods will enhance the absorption of curcumin in your body at here.
