DESCRIPTION: Dietary strategies, including the use of black pepper (piperine), can boost blood levels of curcumin from the spice turmeric by up to 2,000%.

Why would we care about boosting curcumin levels? I started talking about this golden spice pigment in Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection) and then moved on to treating actual clinical conditions in Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis) and Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis). Next I’ll end this video series with some cautionary notes in Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I’ve previously covered this topic of food synergy in videos such as Apples and Oranges: Dietary Diversity (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/apples-and-oranges-dietary-diversity/) and Garden Variety Anti-Inflammation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/garden-variety-anti-inflammation/) that emphasize the importance of eating a variety of plant foods to take advantage of some of these interactions.

The black pepper mechanism reminds me of the grapefruit (Tell Your Doctor If You Eat Grapefruit, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/tell-your-doctor-if-you-eat-grapefruit/) and broccoli (The Best Detox, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/) stories. A testament to the power of plants (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/power-plants/).

The painkilling properties of aspirin mentioned in the video are actually found throughout the plant kingdom: Aspirin Levels in Plant Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspirin-levels-in-plant-foods/).

In some circumstances, traditional medicine wisdom seems incredible (Tomato Effect, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect); in others, dangerous (Get the Lead Out, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/get-the-lead-out). But that’s what we now have science for!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/ and he’ll try to answer it!
