Turmeric (95%) and piperine – food supplement in 500 mg capsules
This food supplement combines turmeric (Curcuma longa), standardised to 95% curcuminoids, with piperine, extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum). Piperine is added to turmeric in most supplements because curcumin on its own is poorly absorbed by the body. Each box contains 100 plant-based capsules of 500 mg. Also discover our Ginger Capsules. Carefully shipped from Europe.

How long does a box last?
| Capsules per day | 1 box (100 capsules) | 3 boxes (300 capsules) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 capsule | 100 days (about 3 months) | 300 days (about 10 months) |
| 2 capsules | 50 days (about 7 weeks) | 150 days (about 5 months) |
For a 3-month course at 2 capsules a day, the set of 3 boxes is enough, with about 2 months to spare.
Why combine turmeric and piperine?
Turmeric is a root of the ginger family, used for centuries in cooking and in South Asian traditions. Its main compound, curcumin, is poorly taken up by the body when taken alone. Piperine, a natural compound of black pepper, is paired with it for this reason: that is why the two are almost always found together in turmeric food supplements.
Capsules or turmeric powder?
Cooking turmeric powder contains only a few percent of curcuminoids and is hard to measure. The capsules provide an extract standardised to 95%, precisely measured, with no taste and no preparation.
