Both nano- and liposomal formulations improve absorption modestly. Piperine massively increases absorption but has some GI intolerance. Thus 5-10 mg a piperine is probably enough per 500 to 1000 mg dose of curcumin to get optimal absorption.

Thank you Dr McCullough for your continued vigilance in your spirit of serving your fellow men and women. Question: One or two nutraceutical companies have begun to offer a liposomal version of Tumeric to help with absorption. Might not this approach replace the need for the black pepper, for those vegetarians that avoid that substance?
