Hi been reading with interest the info on curcumin. I started taking this a couple of months after my diagnosis after I read an article first by Professor Bharat Aggarwal from MD Anderson and then by Richard Beliveau.It appears that one of the most effective ways to increase absorption is to mix it first with black pepper and a little oil(olive or flax).This is supposed to significantly increase absorption some believe by 1000% and is thought to be one reason why it may reduce cancer in south east Asia where it is mixed with oil and black pepper in traditional curries.I have had some difficulty obtaining good quality curcumin in England and have recently started importing it from Ageless Cures in Houston.
