But kale is disgusting unless you pair it.

with citrus.

Also, from what my studies have taught me, that if you do not introduce a vitamin C component, the actual nutrients that are rich in these leafy greens are not bioavailable.

Wow.

Thanks for clarifying that because people think kale is a superfood.

Kale can be a superfood if it's paired correctly with other things.

Just like all other things, these relationships matter.

So Hermetica, for example, my new brand, is a company that was built off of the foundation of synergy, relationships.

It's about understanding the dynamics between various plant medicines and combining them in an intentional, constructive way so that you can use less of the active and get an increase in bioavailability.

A perfect example of this is black pepper and turmeric.

If you are using turmeric therapeutically without black pepper, you are losing literally about 400% of the potential that you could be.

Damn, I took it this morning for inflammation.

Look at the number of how much turmeric is more bioavailable when you add a literal pinch of black pepper.

It is substantial.

It's not like, oh, maybe 1% or 2%.

It's hundreds of percent.

The 400% was an estimation that I made.

It's more than 200% of an increase.

Let me just start by there.

When I learned that, I asked myself, what other things do that?
