The Claim
Co-administration of curcumin and piperine increases the bioavailability of curcumin, resulting in measurable changes in oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers in humans.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking curcumin with piperine increases how much curcumin enters the bloodstream and leads to detectable changes in markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in humans.
See the scientific wording
Co-administration of curcumin and piperine enhances the biological activity of curcumin by improving its bioavailability, leading to measurable changes in oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers in human trials.
Piperine blocks enzymes in the liver and gut that break down curcumin, allowing more curcumin to enter the bloodstream. Higher levels of curcumin in the blood then directly reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in tissues.
What the research says
1 studyAdding piperine to curcumin helps your body absorb more curcumin, which then does a better job of reducing inflammation and oxidative stress — and this study shows it actually works in people.
