Turmeric, and specifically the active component Curcumin, is one of the most studied nutrients on the planet.

But why should you bother taking turmeric with curcumin daily?

Do we really need to say more?

The problem with curcumin or any turmeric supplement is the fact that it is absorbed very poorly in the digestive tract.

There are so many factors that make the nutrients you pay a premium for literally get flushed down the toilet⁷:

• Moisture, oxygen and other factors in the environment
• Enzymes and digestive juices in the mouth and stomach
• Bile salts in the intestines
• Friendly and unfriendly organisms in the intestines
• Food and drug interactions in the digestive system
• Additives such as capsule gelatins, coatings, binders, fillers, sugars, colors and flavors to facilitate packaging of swallowing
• Incomplete assimilation due to partial or non-breakdown of tablet or capsule into small enough particles for uptake into intestines
