Which of the following statements is/are correct with reference to the Piperine?
A. It enhances curcumin absorption in the body.
B. It gives turmeric its multivariate healing and protective power.
C. A & B
D. None of these
Explanation:
The actual turmeric slices or turmeric powder that we use every day in preparing our meals (as Haldi, Manjal, Pasupu, Arishina, Halud) has about 3% of the active component molecule called curcumin, a polyphenol diketone (and not a steroid). Piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body. It gives turmeric its multivariate healing and protective power.
