When Turmeric is most valuable
Curcumin's inhibition of NF-ฮบB is directly relevant to endometriosis, adenomyosis, and general menstrual inflammation. Always consume with black pepper (piperine): it increases curcumin bioavailability by up to 2000%.
Recommended if you have these conditions
Curcumin studies are laboratory and supplement based; dietary turmeric is poorly absorbed, which is why black pepper is usually suggested alongside it.
Curcumin trials used concentrated supplements; turmeric as a spice is poorly absorbed.
How to track Turmeric accurately
Used in very small quantities: log as "1 teaspoon turmeric (3g)" or as part of a recipe. The anti-inflammatory benefit comes from consistent daily use rather than large single doses.
