Step 1: Turmeric Intake
5.0 g
Curcumin content
Turmeric contains ~3-5% curcumin. 1 tsp ≈ 3g. Black pepper can boost absorption by up to 2000%.
Step 2: Absorption Factors
Bio‑enhancers
Piperine (black pepper) and fats (especially medium‑chain triglycerides) dramatically increase curcumin absorption.
