FAQ:
Q: Why is black pepper added?
A: Black pepper contains piperine, which enhances the body’s absorption of curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) by up to 2,000%.
Q: Can I drink this daily?
A: Yes! It’s safe for most people to consume once a day. However, if you’re on medication or pregnant, consult your healthcare provider.
Q: Can I use turmeric supplements instead?
A: While supplements work, whole-food forms are more bioavailable and often come with synergistic benefits from other natural compounds.
Q: What does it taste like?
A: Earthy and slightly spicy, with warmth from the ginger and a citrusy brightness from the lemon — the honey balances everything beautifully.
