No. While black pepper extract (piperine) is often added to inferior, lower quality curcumin supplements to promote intestinal permeability and make up for their poor absorption, Dr. Myers designed the Liposomal Curcumin to be the most absorbable form of curcumin on the market today. The micelle liposomal delivery form drastically increases its solubility and bioavailability. This is excellent news for those sensitive to black pepper, or who are searching for the absolute highest quality curcumin complex available.

The curcumin complex has no ingredients that are contraindicated for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers. While it is perfectly safe for most people, we still recommend working with a qualified healthcare provider so they can take your other supplements, medications, and health history into account when deciding if Curcumin Super Soluble is right for you or your child.

Because curcumin is fat soluble, Curcumin Super Soluble is best taken with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. While curcumin may be taken with only a glass of water (it does not have to be taken with a meal), it is far better absorbed when taken with food!
