Turmeric, often consumed with black pepper and ginger, is used to counteract inflammation and has a history in Ayurvedic medicine.

“For instance, I'm consuming like turmeric with ground pepper. I always read it. I never say it, piperine? Yeah piperine. There we go. So to increase the bioavailability and absorption. So that's pretty old school. You've got turmeric, curcumin pills or whatever. There are a million ways to go about it. But I've tried to whenever possible . . . So, you have like L-methylfolate, let's say. Very interesting to me. But unless I'm mistaken, pretty new kid on the block. It's a relatively new addition to the supplement arsenal. Whereas like turmeric, it's like, Ayurvedic medicine, they've been doing that for thousands of years. I feel pretty comfortable bringing in turmeric tea with some ginger and black pepper to counteract unnecessary inflammation.”
