Turmeric has been used for thousands of years, and modern research has zeroed in on why: a compound called curcumin. Here's what turmeric and curcumin can do, and how to get the most from a supplement.

What is curcumin?

Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric responsible for its bright color and most of its benefits. On its own, curcumin is poorly absorbed, which is why quality supplements pair it with black pepper extract (piperine) to boost absorption dramatically.
