The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
when you consume piperine which is an extract from black pepper it increases the absorption of turmeric and the medical community came out and was like applauding themselves like guys we had a medical breakthrough we found if you consume this one compound in black pepper with turmeric it increases the absorption

furthermore as i talk about in my book the reason that curcumin from turmeric is paired with black pepper is because black pepper inhibits udp glucuronasal transferase making curcumin 2 000 more times bioavailable to the body well your body clearly understood that eating turmeric root is not something you want to do a lot of but there are compounds in there like curcumin which i've spoken about in detail in the past and in my book which are not great for humans at all and it's trying to get rid of
piperine inhibits UDP glucuronacil transferase which is a detoxification enzyme in the liver one of the reasons that black pepper is given with turmeric is because your body doesn't want turmeric and turmeric is very poorly bioavailable but if you give black pepper with piperine and you inhibit UDP glucuronasal transferase which is one of the ways your body detoxifies turmeric or specifically curcumin from the turmeric it adds a glucuronacial moiety to it much more of that curcumin is absorbed in your body
curcumin turmeric so turmeric is a root right contains an active ingredient called curcumin which is a polyphenolic compound as you said humans don't absorb much curcumin if you eat turmeric root which is a root it's going to have some defense chemicals there you don't absorb much circumin it may actually affect the gut Flora in a positive way but if you add black pepper which is a seed which contains compounds like piperine and other toxic compounds called saffil but specifically piperine inhibits an enzyme in the liver called UDP glucuronic transferase
specifically piperine inhibits an enzyme in the liver called UDP glucuronic transferase right long name it's part of our detoxification systems and when you inhibit that enzyme with piperine and pepper you now absorb 1,000 to 2,000 times more of the circumin
