When it comes to turmeric supplements, one of the most common questions we get asked is:
“Does it have black pepper in it?”
You may have read that black pepper helps your body absorb turmeric better and while that’s true in some cases, it’s not always necessary. Let’s break down the science behind it and explain why our Turmeric, Honey and Vitamin C Tablets work beautifully without it.
The Power of Turmeric
Turmeric has been used for centuries for its powerful health benefits, from supporting joint mobility to aiding digestion and promoting overall wellbeing.
The magic lies in its active compound, curcumin, which is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
However, there’s a catch, curcumin on its own isn’t very easy for the body to absorb. That’s where the idea of adding black pepper (piperine) came from. Piperine helps to temporarily slow down the body’s metabolism of curcumin, meaning more of it can circulate and be used.
But Here’s the Thing...
Not every turmeric supplement needs black pepper to be effective.
Our Turmeric, Honey and Vitamin C Tablets are formulated differently each tablet contains a high-strength dose of 2500mg of turmeric, alongside Vitamin C and honey, which bring their own unique benefits.
The actives in our formula, including curcumin and flavonoids have been carefully chosen for their proven support in:
✔️ Normal immune function
✔️ Collagen formation
✔️ Cartilage and joint health
Because our turmeric is high-strength and designed to deliver potent benefits, there’s no need to add black pepper purely for absorption. Every ingredient in this supplement is there for its own health-promoting reason, not just as an absorption aid.
Why We Left Out Black Pepper
We believe in keeping our formulations purposeful and balanced.
For some people, black pepper can cause digestive discomfort, and since our turmeric content is already strong enough to be effective, we’ve chosen not to include it unnecessarily.
Instead, our blend focuses on holistic support combining turmeric’s soothing properties with Vitamin C, which contributes to collagen formation and supports the normal function of cartilage and bones. The addition of honey brings gentle, natural nourishment for everyday wellness.
The Takeaway
Black pepper can be beneficial in certain turmeric supplements, especially where the curcumin levels are low or standardised extracts are used. But with high-strength turmeric like ours, you can enjoy the full benefits without it.
So, if you’re looking to support your joint health, immune system, and overall wellbeing naturally, our Turmeric, Honey and Vitamin C Tablets are the perfect daily addition — no pepper required.
