The combination of Curcumin and Piperine for preventing cancer is perhaps the most fascinating. Studies have demonstrated that the combination could inhibit the growth of cancerous stem cells in breast tumours. Also, Curcumin has been shown to have anti-cancerous effects on leukemia cells, colon cancer cells and gastric cancer cells. Moreover, researchers have found that spice extracts of black pepper and turmeric can be used to protect healthy tissue in those undergoing radiation therapies.

Curcumin and Piperine may help in weight loss. One study published in the Annual Review of Nutrition in 2010 showed that Curcumin will interact with liver cells, pancreatic cells, fats cells, muscle cells, and immune cells called macrophages. This allows to fight several factors associated with obesity, including inflammation, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance.

Curcumin is also known to protect against several toxins that can have a negative impact on the liver, including tobacco smoke, peroxide, galactosamine, and household chemicals. When combined with Piperine, Curcumin may be able to boost the absorption of glutathione—a compound responsible for liver protection at cellular level.

In Ayurveda, turmeric has been used for digestive support for centuries. Research suggests that Curcumin can help manage symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, such as gas, bloating and abdominal pain.

Curcumin and Piperine together, may relieve joint discomfort, soreness and stiffness. Curcumin is often used for joint pain, whereas Piperine can desensitize a pain receptor called TRPV1. A study published in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine in 2017 found that Curcumin and Piperine supplementation before and after exercise can reduce some aspects of muscle damage. This makes the combination great for athletes to consume before and after workout.

The Piperine is thought to reduce the inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, while a number of studies indicate that the Curcuminoids in turmeric can prevent rheumatoid arthritis.

Research shows that Curcumin and Piperine works as potent Antiglycation agents and therefore, significant in preventing glycation-associated complications in diabetes.

Curcumin has natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties, which make it ideal for wound healing and cleansing.

A study published in the journal Life Sciences in 2010 found that Curcumin can decrease memory impairment and cholinergic dysfunction (such as Alzheimer’s disease). Another study found that the addition of Piperine to Curcumin created a significant increase in antidepressant-like effects including enhancing neurotransmitter activity to decrease stress, anxiety and depression.
