I've been drinking turmeric, ginger, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil tea every morning since October. Sometimes I'll nuke a cup and drink it hot at night.

I drink it mainly for the inflammatory benefits. It's better than ibuprofen.

I used to boil it but I felt I was burning up alot of the minerals and vitamins, so I blend and strain it.

Black. And NB4 Why?......

Both turmeric and black pepper have key active ingredients that contribute to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and disease-fighting qualities.

The key compounds in turmeric are called curcuminoids. Curcumin itself is the most active ingredient and appears to be the most important.

As a polyphenol, curcumin has several advantages to health. It’s a strong antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.

However, one of the greatest downfalls of curcumin is that it’s not well absorbed in the body.

Black pepper contains the bioactive compound piperine, which is an alkaloid like capsaicin, the active component found in chili powder and cayenne pepper.

Piperine has been shown to help relieve nausea, headaches and poor digestion and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Still, its most significant benefit may be its ability to boost the absorption of curcumin.

Unfortunately, the curcumin in turmeric is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, you could be missing out on its advantages to health.

However, adding black pepper can help. Research supports that combining the piperine in black pepper with the curcumin in turmeric enhances curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%

Funny story (to me).

My first batch of the ginger turmeric tea I misread teaspoons and used tablespoons for the pepper. I suffered through it 4 days before I realized what I'd done.

Yeah, If and when I get another one it will either be the exact same as I have, or a name that's well known. Garmin, fitbit or Samsung.

I like how it is Amazon watch has all the features and Alexa. You can ask it what the weather is and it tells you. They have a nice one that is $170 that could compete with Fitbit or Samsung. And it's got GPS. I am not going to pay for Garmin those go up to $1000.

Good luck if you go for it. I'm fine with mine. Now the only reason I'd like another one is to get a round one. This one is all I need and as long as it continues to work, I'm good.
