Turmeric

The Turmeric is a spice exotic well known to gastronomic level as natural dye.
However, this root hides very potent properties for health, specifically, to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation .
Curcumin is the component that has this curative virtue, and is present in about 4% of the turmeric powder.

Black pepper
The black pepper has a power softer than turmeric but, when combined, complements and multiplies analgesic.
This is due to its high bioavailability, its ability to enhance the effects of other nutrients.
The substance that has this virtue is the piperine, which activates the receptors of the body that counteract pain.
In addition, black pepper has other medicinal properties:
It improves digestion and prevents the onset of gastric ulcers.
