Turmeric and especially its most active compound curcumin have many scientifically-proven health benefits.
Since ancient times, turmeric has been used in Asian countries for many human ailments.
Multiple studies over the past decade have indicated the safety and efficacy of curcumin and have provided a solid basis for evaluating its efficacy in human clinical trials.
Significant evidence has indicated its potential against several chronic diseases.
In spite of its efficacy and safety, curcumin has not yet been approved as a therapeutic agent in part perhaps because of lack of intellectual rights to it.

Because curcumin is fat-soluble, consuming it with fat may increase absorption.
Turmeric is also best consumed with black pepper.
The liver gets rid of substances by making them water-soluble so that they can be excreted, and piperine (from black pepper) can inhibit this process so that curcumin is not excreted. This explains how piperine can help to make curcumin more bioavailable.
