Delicious Golden Milk-Potent Bioavailable Turmeric Beverage!

Golden Milk-  Potent Bioavailable Turmeric Beverage!

I  take turmeric in the form of golden paste every day, twice.  As I said before that turmeric is hard to absorb in the GI tract.  Good news, there is a way to fix that and make it up to 2000 times more absorbable!  You read that right, 2000 times MORE ABSORBABLE!  How?!  Read on.

Here’s how to make golden paste:

1/2 cup organic turmeric powder

1 cup filtered water  ( plus 1/3 cup more water in reserve if needed)

1/3 cup unprocessed, unrefined, virgin coconut oil 

2-3 teaspoons organic black pepper corns FRESHLY GROUND for optimal piperine.  When freshly ground the essential oils are more available.

1. Place turmeric and water in saucepan and stir over gentle heat.  You want to cook for 10 minutes but you don’t want to boil it.  Stir constantly to avoid scorching.
2. You want a paste like consistancy but not to thick, you can add more water if it is to thick and cook for a couple more minutes.
3.  After you have a nice paste, remove from heat and add coconut oil and fresh ground pepper and stir well and put aside to cool
4. Place mixture in jar after it has cooled down some and put in fridge for up to 2 weeks for optimal freshness.

You can add 1 teaspoon to water  or I like to add it to warmed coconut milk.  It has a pleasant taste when added to 1/2 cup of warmed coconut milk and makes it even more bioavailable. This is called Golden Milk.  I do this once in the morning and once around dinner time.  The black pepper has a substance called piperine.  Black pepper is a powerful spice with many health benefits of its own. The piperine significantly increases the curcumin and its bioavailability.   One study called Influence of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of curcumin in animals and human volunteers showed that when piperine was taken with curcumin and given to humans that the bioavailablility increased by 2000%!  Turmeric is fat soluble.  For your body to fully absorb turmeric it needs a good fat like coconut oil.  For maximum benefit I take the Golden Milk twice a day and a high quality curcumin supplement.   To learn more about turmeric and what it can do go here.
