I take a pill containing curcumin with black pepper extract. contains 1000mg Curcumin. I wonder what the extra 3k mg buys you? Piper negrum (blck pepper ext) is supposed to make the curcumin more bioavailable.
Yes, the black pepper is meant to improve absorption. The X4000 product has the curcumin bound to highly absorbable phosphatidylcholine which is a further improvement. With curcumin being so well studied with so many beneficial effects I've gone for the best I can get. It's a shame they don't do a similar product with quercetin combined in the same capsule.
Check out Curcumin X4000. You won't be getting much of the active ingredient from tumeric alone.
