You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry.  But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine. Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existance. Many high quality studies show that it has major benefits for your body and brain. Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders. It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, depression, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. If you want to experience the full effects, then you need to take an extract that contains significant amounts of curcumin, which is the main active ingredient in turmeric. Unfortunately, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. It helps if you consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2000%.
