Organic Turmeric Plus with Ginger & Black Pepper 120 capsules
Our organic turmeric capsules are the most effective and convenient way to take turmeric. The highest quality, manufactured in NSW, Australia in a TGA approved facility.
Organic Turmeric Capsules PLUS was the first turmeric powder formulation with ginger and black pepper in Australia. It's based on traditional Ayurvedic knowledge that used a preparation called ‘trikatu’ that contained black pepper and ginger to increase the absorption of foods and medicine. This is also supported by modern scientific research which has found active constituents in ginger and black pepper that increase the bioavailability of other substances (phytochemicals).

Organic ginger can help with absorption and digestion. Ginger comes from the same family as turmeric (Zingiberaceae) and has many healing properties of its own. A wonderful addition to this product to enhance its healing properties.
To further improve absorption, organic black pepper has been added to the mix. Black pepper contains an active called piperine that has shown to improve the absorption of many different phytonutrients, including the actives contained within turmeric.
Can you absorb turmeric without black pepper?
Yes but the benefit of black pepper is to increase the speed of absorption and maintain blood levels of turmeric actives, which may give a stronger effect.
Can turmeric be used for inflammation?
Inflammation is usually the beginning stage of any disease process and once it becomes chronic, it can cause many problems. There have been hundreds of studies on turmeric and inflammation, with India using turmeric for thousands of years for many ailments. One of the main reasons people seek out turmeric is for its anti-inflammatory properties.
How much curcumin is in our turmeric capsules with black pepper?
Our turmeric is always between 3-5% curcumin by weight. So, in every capsule, there’s at least 18.7mg of curcumin. This isn’t a particularly high dose of curcumin in and of itself, however our curcumin is extremely bioavailable. Unlike other turmeric products, we use the whole food. Studies show that tumerone and the other essential oil components of turmeric vastly improve the absorbability of curcumin, and in addition to curcumin, whole food turmeric also contains other bioactive constituents such as zingerene, cineole, eugenol, limonene, borneol, bornanol and p-coumaric acid. What this means is that you still get the effectiveness of curcumin without needing to take such a high dose.
Piperine-Curcumin Complex
Black pepper has now reached celebrity-status for its ability to increase the absorption of turmeric. This is because black pepper contains piperine, which is a p-450 enzyme blocker in the gastrointestinal tract and liver. When these enzymes are blocked, it means that the biological activity of other substances, such as curcumin, is increased. One of the main reasons we add black pepper and ginger is that this is a traditional, Ayurvedic method from India of taking turmeric. Research on the p-450 enzymes has further indicated that there is an amazing synergy between these two spices, which backs up knowledge that has been applied for thousands of years.
