How is pepper related to Turmeric in anyway?
To understand this better we have to have a look at what lies beyond the horizon ( i.e. what does not meet our naked eye) and a learn a bit about the chemical composition of Turmeric

Curcumin has numerous benefits as it has antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties.

Unfortunately, our body cannot easily absorb the curcumin content in turmeric powder.
This is where our hero the black pepper comes to our rescue.

Pepper contains an natural bio ingredient called Piperine.
Piperine is another magical chemical naturally present in black pepper and helps in rectifying poor digestion, nausea and relieve headache.
