Curcumin and coconut oil - Note to Rhoda and thanks to Duane

[Guest guest]

Rhoda -

Just so you are not mislead - there is debate about how effective piperine (bioperine) is at increasing the bioavailability of curcumin and it appears the consensus of opinion from studies is that their is an increase but it is marginal.

Not everyone even agrees with using coconut milk (or oil) and when you do use it you should dissolve the curcumin in the milk first (which can be a messy affair), but that is a method I like and recommend.

I would never select a product just because it contains piperine. The best option by far would be to select a curcumin product that has been formulated for maximum bioavailability in the first place, such as the curcumin products of LEF and turmeric-curcumin.com

My thanks to Duane Christensen for pointing out his concerns about my earlier recommendations as recommending the tumeric-curcumin.com product.

She misunderstood(since I attempted to explain about curcumin and

piperine). She began to add cumin seeds (not tumeric) and black

pepper to her plate of food (after cooking it). Within 3 days she

was no longer bothered by the pain and is very happy to be able to

walk, stand, & move around all day, without pain. She has informed

others about her results. So, I believe the black pepper appears to

help facilitate matters. So, basically, I just wanted to inform

people about the effectiveness of cumin seeds and black pepper in

arthritis. I am assuming that cumin has curcumin in it also, or am I

wrong? Francine

Francine,

I think Black seed oil is made from cumin seeds and it is meant to be a

panacea to many ailments - touted as a " a cure for everything except

death " by Ancient Egyptians I think. So that misunderstanding just led

to another wonder of nature. I would guess that cumin seeds were

probably more potent than the black pepper.

Blackseed oil is unfortunately pretty foul tasting.
