The benefits of turmeric, due to its active ingredient curcumin,  have been demonstrated by modern Western medical research and centuries of  empirical evidence from India and China.
The problem with turmeric’s  curcumin is that it has a hard time getting past the stomach and into the small  intestines where it can be absorbed into the blood.
So before purchasing  turmeric powder or extracted curcumin capsules, it’s important to know a couple  of tricks for getting the most beneficial absorption for turmeric’s  curcumin.
As an ingredient of curry, turmeric is traditionally mixed with  a healthy fat and heated. That’s a hint for what needs to be done in general  with turmeric powder, certainly the least expensive way of benefiting from  turmeric’s curcumin.

Optimizing turmeric/curcumin absorption

Here’s a convenient method of  making “Golden Milk:” Take a quarter cup of high quality, certified or  organic turmeric powder mixed in a half cup of pure water and simmer for a  few minutes on medium heat, stirring constantly to form a slightly moist, thick  paste.
Let it cool and put it into a glass jar. It can keep for weeks in  the refrigerator. To consume a dose, dissolve a small portion of the turmeric  paste in a bit of warm milk or coconut oil. Add some pepper to take advantage of  piperine’s nutrient absorbing properties.
If you want to avoid  preparation hassles, there are curcumin capsules available that contain black  pepper extract or piperine. Enteric-coated capsules can bypass the stomach and  into the small intestines where their contents can absorbed.
You can  boost the nutrient absorption further by emptying the capsule’s contents in a  small amount of warm, pure virgin olive or coconut oil. Add pepper if your  curcumin capsules don’t contain piperine.

Turmeric (curcumin) benefits

Turmeric’s curcumin is a safe, effective  anti-inflammatory. More and more health practitioners and researchers are  realizing that inflammation is the source of most disease, even if the  inflammation is not directly noticeable.
That means there are many  benefits of using turmeric (curcumin). Here  are six of them:
(1) It has been clinically proven to ease arthritic pain  and promote increased flexibility in many studies. It’s comparable to large  doses of ibuprofen (800 mg daily) without side-effects while actually delivering  other health benefits.
(2) It  slows or delays liver damage that could develop into cirrhosis.
(3) It  slows and helps reverse the onset of Alzh
