Navigator Turmeric with Black Pepper - 60 capsules.

Turmeric with black pepper is a classic combination in Indian cuisine, and at the same time, a duo that is exceptionally common on the supplement shelf. This product realizes this idea in the simplest way possible: powdered turmeric root and powdered black pepper, and nothing more besides the capsule coating itself. The daily portion consists of one capsule taken with a meal, and there are 60 capsules in total in the package. Each capsule contains 500 mg of powdered turmeric root and 10 mg of powdered black pepper fruit, and that is the entirety of the active ingredients. It is worth noting the word "powdered," as it distinguishes this product from many similarly named preparations: it is ground plant material, not an extract. The coating consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is plant cellulose, and the manufacturer declares the absence of sugar, iodine, casein, lactose, alcohol, and gluten, and states that the product contains no allergens.

Ingredients

Content per serving, which is in one capsule:

Powdered turmeric root (Curcuma longa) - 500 mg.
Sproszkowany pieprz czarny (Piper nigrum) - 10 mg
Capsule coating: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
Adnotacja producenta przy obu surowcach: dzienna dawka nieustalona

Both raw materials are provided by the manufacturer as powder from the plant, not as an extract: it is ground turmeric root and ground black pepper fruit. With ground plant material, the extraction ratio does not occur at all, as nothing is being concentrated here - the capsule contains exactly the 500 mg and 10 mg of raw material that the manufacturer lists in the table, and nothing beyond that. The entire daily portion fits in this one capsule taken with a meal, so the composition table and dosage recommendation describe exactly the same thing. The hard capsule coating is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is plant cellulose. The manufacturer lists a whole list of declarations "free from": no allergens and no sugar, iodine, casein, lactose, alcohol, gluten, salt, starch, wheat, corn, and dairy. If you are reading labels for food intolerances or allergies, review this list in full before your first order.

How to use

The manufacturer provides one scheme and links it to a meal, which has practical justification for plant-based raw materials soluble in fats:

One capsule daily with a meal
Do not exceed the recommended dose
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients
Swallow the capsule whole and drink with water

The manufacturer links the capsule to a meal rather than a specific time, so you can take it with the meal you eat at a regular time. However, it is worth remembering that turmeric is often mentioned among plant raw materials that interact with medications, so if you are taking anything regularly, discuss the use of the product with your doctor or pharmacist.

Who is it for

This is a choice for someone who wants turmeric with pepper in a convenient form and is intentionally looking for ground raw material instead of concentrated extract. Such a product is closer to what goes into dishes in the kitchen and is often better tolerated by those who simply do not respond well to strong, concentrated plant extracts. It will also be useful when you simply do not want to measure spices daily and prefer to have the same portion in a ready capsule. One capsule daily with a meal is a scheme that does not require you to watch the clock - just link it to the meal you eat at a regular time. The manufacturer's declarations (absence of allergens and absence of lactose, gluten, and dairy) ensure that the label answers these questions right away, without scrutinizing the ingredients. However, if you are looking for a product described by a specific content of curcuminoids, this is not the shelf: this product is a powdered raw material and is described by the mass of the raw material, not the percentage of active compounds.

Frequently asked questions

Is this turmeric extract?

No. The composition lists powdered turmeric root and powdered black pepper fruit - this is ground plant raw material, so there is neither an extraction ratio nor standardization. Each capsule contains 500 mg of turmeric root and 10 mg of black pepper, and that is the total active ingredient content.

Jakie deklaracje alergenowe i dietetyczne podaje producent?

The manufacturer states that the product does not contain allergens and separately lists the "free from" items: sugar, iodine, casein, lactose, alcohol, gluten, salt, starch, wheat, corn, and dairy. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which is plant cellulose. Check the full list for your batch on the packaging.

Why is black pepper included in the composition?

This is a traditional combination in Indian cuisine, where turmeric is almost always served with pepper. The manufacturer includes 10 mg of powdered black pepper in the capsule alongside 500 mg of powdered turmeric root - the ratio is therefore the same in each capsule and does not change between servings.

The package contains 60 capsules, and the manufacturer recommends one capsule daily with a meal. Swallow the capsule whole and drink it down with water.
