Black Pepper

[Joanne HarrisonStudent]

I just watched the blog about Black pepper and I was curious about the enhancing quality of it. Can it also work against you by enhancing bad chemicals as well? ie turmeric is enhanced by black pepper

Just curious

Thanks for the question. Let me ask one to go along with it. If I take turmeric in capsule form would a shot of black pepper still help, since it will be awhile before the turmeric is released in the gut?

Loved the video.

Taking black pepper with the encapsulated turmeric will still help. The capsules won’t last long in the intestine where all the action is happening. :0)

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

There’s no evidence to suggest that black pepper, Piper nigrum, enhances the absorption of toxins. In fact, some studies have suggested that the compounds found in black pepper may have detoxifying effects by increasing the activity of liver enzymes that are responsible for breaking down toxins in the body.
