But there's a lot of work on making more bioavailable, getting the levels up in the blood.
And if you add pepper, you might get from 1% or 2% to 2% to 3%, you know, but it's still small beer compared with the amounts of turmeric that we take, the amounts of curcumin that we take in an ordinary curry.
So what's going on and what is going on is that curcumin in turmeric is one of the best remedies we have for microbiome.
There's a conversation going on.
The turmeric is encouraging the good guys.
The good guys are breaking turmeric and curcumin down into more available materials which are active.
It belongs in the gut and its inflammatory modulating effects come mostly from the products of the microbiome working on the curcumin bacteria.
and moving through the body that way.
So it's a wonderful lesson in, you know, that the medicine actually relies in this case almost entirely on a good microbiome, an effect that is reduced by the way, if you have a lot of antibiotics.
Not as well as you might expect.
Yes, that is true.
We talk about, we've got probiotics, which is the yogurts and the kimchis and the kaffirs and so on, which are actually living organisms.
They have to get through the stomach, by the way, which is quite a hard deal because the stomach's job is to sterilize foods.
But some of them will get through.
Those are the probiotics.
The prebiotics are what we've been talking about here, the foods that will encourage the good guys in the microbiome.
We've got a new kid on the block called postbiotics.
Mm-hmm.
which is now an industrial term used for killed bacteria, which are then given as a medicine.
But technically, a postbiotic is anything that the bacteria produce.
