If someone were to truly objectively evaluate turmeric, okay, I don't think there's one

0:27.9

condition. One health problem that you couldn't find some benefit from taking this right here. It's

0:33.7

amazing. I've been growing turmeric for the last nine months, and I finally harvested it, and my

0:39.6

wife and I are eating it, and we're just chewing it. It's like an aromatic carrot. It's not very

0:44.5

strong, but boy, does this have some serious potent properties. But first, let me talk about how to

0:51.1

increase the bile availability of turmeric. Now, anytime you take turmeric in a supplement,

0:56.9

and how they recommend you don't take it in the curcumin extract only. You want the whole plant,

1:04.2

because curcumin is only one of many, many, and I'm talking about thousands of different

1:09.8

vital nutrients in turmeric. So if you get something that says curcumin extract, also make sure it

1:15.0

comes with the turmeric powder, or you could just, like I said before, chew the whole thing.

1:19.9

Number two, black pepper, or white pepper will help you increase the absorption by roughly

1:26.8

2000%. The white pepper actually increases the absorption a little bit better, but they're both

1:33.1

pretty similar. Now, what you could do, if you're going to take a supplement or just consume this,

1:37.0

you can just take a black peppercorn or a white peppercorn and this swallow it. That will help.

1:43.6

And thirdly, add some fat at the same time you're consuming it. The question is why? Because a lot of

1:48.6

these phytonutrients, including curcumin, are fat soluble. So in order to better absorb them,

1:54.8

you need some fat. You can do ghee, you can do butter, MCT oil, coconut oil, olive oil, any of the

2:02.0

fats, just a little bit. Now, the other thing to know is that these phytonutrients are a bit heat

2:08.0

sensitive. So if you're going to put them in your foods, chances are they're not going to be as potent.

2:14.3

The other point is if you get a supplement with turmeric or the curcumin extract,

2:19.5

make sure you get the one that's freeze dried because freeze dried allows for these enzymes to be

2:26.0

activated. So they're in a state that's dormant, but they're not overly processed or heated.
