Turmeric, also known as the "golden spice," is the underground plant stem of the flowering plant, Curcuma longa. It bears a striking resemblance to ginger but has a bright yellow to golden orange hue and boasts a long history of use in traditional medicine. Turmeric's color comes from natural pigments called curcuminoids, the most well-known of which is curcumin. The many health benefits associated with turmeric are often attributed to these compounds, particularly curcumin.

According to research, curcumin possesses a wide range of health-supporting properties. However, its potential is inhibited by the fact that it has poor bioavailability when taken orally, meaning it isn't efficiently absorbed by the body. Fortunately, researchers have found a simple yet effective way of improving curcumin absorption, and it involves combining it with a compound that can only be found in a commonly used spice and seasoning: black pepper.

In this feature article, you will learn the science behind the beneficial components of organic turmeric and black pepper, and why black pepper is the key to unlocking the many health benefits of turmeric.
