    I use Turmeric in everything that I prepare; from soups to hot/cold plates/. I know that Turmeric contains Curcumin. Is it possible to purchase Curcumin?

    1. John Cook says:

      Yes, turmeric contains about 6% Curcumin, so one gram of Curcumin equates to about 17 grams of turmeric.
      It’s important to mix Curcumin with black pepper and a healthy oil so choose the Curcumin supliment wisely.

        Does Curcumin come separate as a spice? or just within Turmeric?

        1. John Cook says:

          No, Curcumin is the golden yellow colour in turmeric but it has no Flavor by itself. So you can only get it as a supliment.
          I’m too poor to afford such things so I first got a kilogram of turmeric, it only cost $15 which is enormously cheaper than the typical prices as a spice. Then I managed to find a supplier in India and bought a kilogram of turmeric “Olioresin” from him. It cost about $35 but the shipping was another $45 but that eas still cheap because it is the raw extract from many kilograms of tumeric. It contains about 35% Curcumin.
          I mix it with black pepper, lethicin and coconut oil. Then each week I mix some of that with a tin of coconut cream and take a tablespoon each day.

            I apply it on Avocado. I read somewhere that you need to take it for best results with anything containing fatty acids, like avocado. Can you get me a price for getting the 35% down to Colombia, SA?

          2. John Cook says:

            Avocato is very good, but don’t forget the black pepper, it massively increases the bio-availability of the Curcumin.
            Sorry but the supplier thought it was too much of a hassle to supply just one kilo, he will only take orders for twenty kilograms or more from now on. This could be a great business for the right person. Good luck 🙂

            John, I am going to get fresh black pepper tomorrow. Is it possible that the supplier can contact me?

            I have sent your details to the supplier.
            This is my last communication with him:
            Whoops, it won’t allow me to paste anything, damn.
            Anyway I think he said that twenty kg including DHL airfreight would cost about $1450 US to australia.
