Ordinary curcumin products can benefit from the use of black pepper to aid absorption. However, the Meriva Curcumin Phytosome used in Good Health Naturally’s Curcuminx4000®, is up to 30x better absorbed than ordinary curcumin. The phytosome technology offers superior absorption and does not require any additional aids to absorption like black pepper.
