Turmeric is a flowering plant of the ginger family native to parts of Southeast Asia and India. Most are familiar with turmeric as the flavor-packed, bright orange spice that gives Indian curries their signature color and taste. However, turmeric has also been used to flavor drinks, create dyes and, of course, as a supplement in traditional medicine systems for many generations.
Turmeric is home to a host of healing compounds known as curcuminoids. Curcuminoids are to turmeric what cannabinoids are to CBD — dozens of naturally occurring molecules that hold beneficial potential for the human body. There is one curcuminoid known as curcumin that stands above the rest in its healing capacities, appearing to be the key behind turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
While the majority of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties come from curcumin, the compound does have one big problem. It has low bioavailability, meaning it’s rather difficult for your body to absorb it.
Don’t fret, though, because there is a very simple way to boost your body’s ability to absorb all the great properties of curcumin. All you have to do is mix your it with a bit of black pepper.
bring it all together, with cbd
When brought together, black pepper and turmeric bring a seriously powerful wellness kick to anything you add them to. And when you add CBD into the mix, things go to a whole new level.
CBD is already great for helping you recover from your post-workout strain — especially if you’re using all-natural full spectrum CBD. Combining CBD with turmeric and black pepper only makes things better. The natural anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric and black pepper fortify CBD’s own ability to fight exercise-related pain, resulting in relief that is superior to anything that these products could provide on their own. Not to mention the benefits CBD, turmeric and black pepper will all have on your daily detox routine.
