Turmeric shots are a palatable way to get turmeric in your diet each day. When I first began adding turmeric to my daily routine, I would add it to a dish or certain food. However, the flavor profile of turmeric can be overwhelming. Therefore, I experimented with different ideas and came up with the turmeric shot that incorporates juice and black pepper. Research shows that taking turmeric with black pepper greatly increasing the absorption rate.
As a huge Dr. Greger fan of NutritionFacts.org, I do follow his research. As part of his daily dozen list, he recommends 1/4 tea. of turmeric each day to help reduce inflammation in the body as well as other health benefits.
Check out my blog post, The Health Benefits of Turmeric to learn more about the health benefits and research that has been conducted.
