Turmeric and Black Pepper: Why You Should Take Them Together

The above articles are self explanatory.

For a normal healthy person, drinking a daily dose of black pepper and turmeric tea has scientifically confirmed health benefits. The internet is also saturated with charlatans promoting miracle cures. Unfortunately, charlatans are the dominant force because people are too lazy to research and separate the facts from fiction. From personal experience, a few years ago, I tried a daily dose of black pepper and turmeric tea, it aggravated my stomach ulcer and I stopped immediately.

I eat a fair amount of turmeric and its brother & sister ginger and galangal
But because I like them, health benefit is a bonus

I eat lots of ginger too! I make ginger caramels to keep on hand for the occasional stomach flare up opposed to pepto-bismol...

I haven't seen galangal since leaving Las Vegas. The Asian stores would carry it matter of course.

I got all 3 in my garden

I haven't got that far yet. I always seem to have less garden space than my want for plants... I'll add another several hundred square feet next year.

I have ground turmeric on my countertop and sprinkle a little on just about everything. Haven't noticed any staining.
Now I'm looking fpr a tea recipe that cuts phlegm.

Also--I have heard the turmeric's effect is enhanced by a little chili or pepper,
Does anyone know anything about this?

Ginger candies, gummies, chewies, whatever might be a better call for an upset stomach. Turmeric helps with my joints and I've never noticed it to do anything either way for stomach issues. I used to keep a small bottle of "ginger shots" I called it in the frig and when there was an issue manifesting I'd take a splash.

Yes, it's the piperine in the pepper that enhances the bioavailability. Pretty much 1:100 is typical for piperine to circuminoids.

Then you have to look at Indian food. turmeric is one of the most used spices in Indian cuisine, and chile peppers are obligatory. Blacl pepper is one of the Indian "hot"spices, along with nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. Before chiles arrived in India in the 16th century, that was the hottest spice they used.

Even Thailand.
A popular (old) recipe there uses just white pepper (piper nigrum), coriander root and garlic as the only spice and it's hot and delicious!
