Why turmeric outperforms many pain medications

Randomized controlled trials demonstrate that curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, reduces inflammatory markers by up to 58% and provides pain relief comparable to ibuprofen for arthritis sufferers.

Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that taking 500mg of curcumin extract daily significantly improves joint mobility and reduces morning stiffness without the gastrointestinal side effects associated with traditional pain medications.

For maximum absorption, combine turmeric with black pepper, which contains piperine that increases curcumin bioavailability by 2000%. Add a teaspoon of turmeric to warm milk with a pinch of black pepper each evening, or consider a standardized curcumin supplement for therapeutic doses.
