Tumeric doesn't absorb easily. It's best to take it with a bit of fat and/or pepper. From what I understand, some turmeric is processed in a way that it's more easily absorbed. That was the selling point for me with the Curimen I took for a while. I don't absorb things easily to begin with.
You can also buy powdered turmeric I think at the grocery store or get some online. Some were very pricy but I did see that McCormick's had powdered turmeric pretty inexpensive. I also saw Swanson Foods had an organic powdered turmeric for under $10 and it was a decent sized bottle. You could used this in recipes, salads, etc.
Here are some suggestions I found online that could help you.
"Sprinkle some on an avocado
Dissolve it in a tablespoon of coconut oil before adding it to a smoothie
Stir it into olive oil and then toss in fresh vegetables
Consume turmeric or curcumin with black pepper. “Adding black pepper to turmeric or turmeric-spiced food enhances curcumin’s bioavailability by 1,000 times, due to black pepper’s hot property called piperine,” says nutritionist Stacy Kennedy.
A little fat plus a little turmeric equals a whole host of health benefits. From reducing blood pressure and inflammation to preventing Alzheimer’s and treating depression—making the most of this beautiful root could have immeasurable positive effects on your health."
Hope this helps!
