You might have been hearing a lot about turmeric as of late, but how to consume it? This turmeric tonic is all you need to ensure adequate absorption, all the while keeping it delicious and fresh!
Turmeric is one of the best herbs for treating cancers. Particularly breast, uterine and prostate cancers. Turmeric contains the active ingredient, curcumin, which prevents the formation of cancer-causing enzymes, and therefore reduces the risk of cancerous cell-formation and cell growth. The mechanism of action works where by curcumin inhibits the activity of the enzyme Topoisomerase, which is essential in the replication of cancer cells. Turmeric literally limits the ability of cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body, and starves them of nutrients inhibits their growth.
But most of the time, people just eat turmeric as it is without pairing it with ingredients that help increase its absorption. Consuming turmeric with black pepper allows curcumin bioavailability to increase by over 2000%! Pairing it with plant-based fats, like coconut milk, will also speed absorbability.
