Turmeric or curcumin is not only known as a spice or as a food additive (E100). Food supplements can also contain components of the rhizome of the curcuma plant, often in the form of curcumin-enriched extracts. In addition, piperine or piperine-enriched extracts from pepper may also be added to these products. Piperine can increase the bioavailability of curcumin so that curcumin can be better absorbed by the body.
