Organic Turmeric and Organic Black Pepper Capsules

We combine pure organic turmeric with the highest quality organic black pepper in these capsules. The piperine naturally contained in black pepper can increase the absorption of the polyphenol curcumin contained in turmeric by up to 20 times.  Even in small quantities, piperine ensures that turmeric and the curcumin contained in turmeric can better unfold its healing effect.
It is our conviction that we do not use any form of extracts, fillers or additives in all our products in order to achieve the best possible bioavailability through the interaction of all the ingredients of the raw materials.
Turmeric belongs to the ginger family and tastes mildly spicy and slightly bitter. The root contains essential oils and the active ingredient curcumin, which make turmeric so healthy. Curcumin has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and is therefore used for the prevention and treatment of diseases such as metabolic syndrome or cancer.
Curcumin also has a strong antioxidant effect. The active ingredient contained in turmeric can neutralise free radicals and promotes the activity of the body's own antioxidants.
Turmeric, or rather curcumin, strengthens the concentration of the growth factor BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the brain. This promotes the proliferation of nerve cells and reduces diseases and impairments of the brain.
Curcumin also has a positive effect on heart health as it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and strengthens the functioning of the endothelium. Turmeric has been scientifically proven to help with digestive problems and soothe the stomach.

But why turmeric and how healthy is it?
Numerous studies have already been able to prove the healing effects of turmeric. Scientific studies have shown that the substance curcumin is just as effective against inflammation in the human body as common medicines, for example aspirin or ibuprofen.

Turmeric has an anti-inflammatory effect
Acute, short-term inflammation helps the body repair damage and protects against dangerous bacteria. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can harm the body. Studies show that chronic inflammation can promote or cause diseases such as metabolic syndrome, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease.
The curcumin contained in turmeric has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and is therefore used to prevent and treat diseases. In some studies, the effectiveness of curcumin is even compared with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Turmeric has an antioxidant effect
Oxidative damage is caused by free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules with unpaired electrons. Free radicals react with organic substances such as fatty acids, proteins or DNA and can thus cause diseases and accelerate ageing processes. Antioxidants protect the body from free radicals.
Curcumin not only has an anti-inflammatory effect, but also a strong antioxidant effect. Due to its chemical structure, curcuminoids can neutralise free radicals and thus render them harmless. In addition, curcumin also promotes the activity of the body's own antioxidants. This fights free radicals particularly effectively.
Turmeric reduces the risk of brain diseases
Nerve cells are capable of forming new networks among themselves. In some regions of the brain, nerve cells can even multiply. The growth factor BDNF (Brain-derived Neutrotrophic Factor), the so-called neurotrophic factor, is decisive for this multiplication. BDNF is a type of growth hormone that is active in the brain. Some functional disorders in the brain, such as depression or Alzheimer's disease, have been linked in scientific studies to reduced levels of BDNF.
Studies show that the curcumin contained in curcuma increases the concentration of the growth factor BDNF. Thus, curcumin effectively helps to delay or even avert diseases of the brain and age-related impairments of brain function.

Turmeric reduces the risk of heart disease
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Heart disease is very complex and is influenced by many different factors. It turns out that the polyphenol curcumin can reduce the risk of heart disease (and cholesterol levels) due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-thrombotic and cardiovascular strengthening effects.
Curcumin also strengthens the functioning of the endothelium in the heart. The endothelium is a vascular coating that regulates the exchange of substances between the blood and the vessels. Reduced endothelial function affects blood pressure regulation and blood clotting and is a major cause of heart disease. Through its endothelium-strengthening effect, the curcumin contained in turmeric reduces the risk of heart disease.

Turmeric soothes the stomach
Turmeric, especially the polyphenol curcumin contained in it, helps with digestive problems and soothes the stomach. Turmeric promotes fat digestion in the stomach and intestines and thus prevents bloating and flatulence after fatty meals. The effectiveness of turmeric in treating inflammation of the digestive system has been scientifically confirmed.
