I've been incorporating turmeric in my diet for the past few months. I enjoy the taste and the placebo effect, so why not?) I'm curious if others here have done the same.
I wouldn't go as far as to make claims regarding it's effectiveness.
One tip I've heard is to take it with black pepper to increase bioavailability. I don't understand the mechanism, but the active ingredient is apparently piperine.
- mrob 11y agoI mix cocoa powder, turmeric, black pepper, and enough extra virgin olive oil to form a smooth paste. I then add hot water and it forms a suspension and the oil mostly doesn't separate out. I think the bitter taste and the fact that all the ingredients are plausibly active makes it an effective placebo, even if it turns out not to actually do anything.
