Taking Organic Turmeric the Right Way
To understand how to use organic turmeric effectively, one has to understand the term “bioavailability.” According to one
medical journal, “Bioavailability is a measure of how much a substance is able to access the circulation and reach the target area, and it depends on absorption (how much we get in) and secretion (how much we get out).” In simple terms, bioavailability is the amount of a substance that the body can use. The more of the substance that can be used, the better.
Turmeric has many health benefits (more on that later), but an individual’s potential for receiving those benefits depends on how bioavailable their turmeric is. Unfortunately, turmeric by itself is not a particularly bioavailable substance. One might think that means they just need to take more of the spice to access its naturally beneficial properties, but that’s not necessarily a good idea. Taking too much turmeric can lead to unwanted side effects, much like taking too much of any substance, even healthy substances, can have negative side effects.
Thankfully, Immune Solution’s Owner and Founder, Jackie Page, innovated a solution that resulted in the company’s proprietary organic turmeric supplement. Simply, we mix turmeric with black pepper!
According to multiple studies, combining turmeric with black pepper helps increase the body’s ability to absorb turmeric’s beneficial compounds. Piperine, a substance in black pepper, can be combined with curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) to increase bioavailability by a stunning 2000%.
What does that mean for you? It means Immune Solution’s 100% Natural Organic Turmeric with Black Pepper is a superior turmeric blend, a traditional, time-tested, and proven natural medicine designed by master herbalists to promote healthy inflammation response by making the curcumin in turmeric significantly more bioavailable to the body.
An Almost Endless List of Organic Turmeric Powder Benefits
It would take a long time to list all of the medicinal and health benefits of organic turmeric powder. Here are just a few:

- Anti-inflammatory

It’s no wonder healers have used turmeric for thousands of years. It’s nature’s medicine! And as with any natural medicine, individual results may vary, because turmeric tends to give the body what it needs most. Someone not struggling with inflammation will not likely feel a difference in that category due to taking turmeric because the inflammation is not at significant levels for the curcumin to act upon. However, suppose an individual is struggling with any of the issues mentioned above and they take turmeric. In that case, they will likely notice a reduction and potentially even a total cessation of their unwanted symptoms.
Adding Turmeric Supplements Into Food or Drink
Another way to maximize turmeric’s potential is to add it to the meals and beverages one prepares daily. As with so many other Immune Solution products, 100% Natural Turmeric with Black Pepper makes an excellent addition to one’s daily meals.
A doctor from Johns Hopkins recommended a simple, three-step recipe for turmeric tea. Just:
- Add one’s daily turmeric supplement (powder) to one to two cups water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Lower to simmer for five minutes and then strain.
Turmeric supplements also go great in soup, as the soup’s flavor easily absorbs the turmeric, and the natural yellow dye in the turmeric makes the soup more colorful. The following are the ingredients for a simple, vegan curried pumpkin butternut squash soup, also from a Johns Hopkins doctor:
- Olive oil
- One pound each of pumpkin and butternut squash peeled and diced
- Two shallots, diced
- Two to three tablespoons of Thai red curry paste
- One’s daily dose of turmeric supplement in powder form
- Four cups of vegetable stock or broth
- One can of unsweetened coconut milk (can use full fat or low fat)
- Salt and pepper
As for the directions to prepare the soup, the doctor laid them out as follows:
- Roast the pumpkin and butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a large, heavy stock pot or a Dutch oven, sauté shallot, red curry paste, and turmeric in olive oil for 8 to 10 minutes. The shallots should be soft and translucent.
- Add vegetable broth, roasted pumpkin, and squash.
- Simmer for at least 20 minutes.
- Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, and/or red curry paste.
- Add coconut milk and simmer, stirring occasionally.
These recipes are tasty and nutritious ways to get one’s daily dose of organic turmeric. We hope you like them as much as we do.
