Anti-inflammatoryDigestive supportImmune supportWarming and comforting
This warming golden latte is a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of turmeric. The combination of turmeric, black pepper, and healthy fats from coconut milk helps maximize the absorption of curcumin, turmeric's active compound.
Why This Recipe Works
The key to getting the most from turmeric is combining it with black pepper and healthy fats. Black pepper contains piperine, which enhances curcumin absorption by up to 2000%. The fats in coconut milk also help your body absorb the fat-soluble curcumin.
