The herb turmeric is now available from Quest; but the Quest formula is unique and offers special advantages because it contains Piperine hence the product name; Turmeric Plus.

Piperine is Vital for Turmeric absorption

Turmeric supplements will only benefit the user if they can be absorbed. To be absorbed, turmeric must be filtered by the liver and it has been found that even consuming as much as 2000mg of turmeric is unlikely to be detected. However, including piperine, an active ingredient of black pepper, enhances the absorption of many different nutrients including for example beta carotene, Coenzyme Q10 and curcumin from turmeric.

The bioavailability of the curcumin compounds from turmeric were increased by 2000% in one study when piperine was included in the formula.

Quest Turmeric Plus is available in 30 tablets, rsp £7.99
