Synergy
What is happening. Digestive enzymes can improve curcumin absorption by breaking down the food matrix. Curcumin also stimulates bile flow which aids fat digestion.
Mechanism. Protease and lipase enzymes break down the food matrix, releasing curcumin for absorption. Curcumin stimulates cholecystokinin and bile flow, enhancing lipid emulsification for enzyme access.
Recommendation. Take digestive enzymes and curcumin with meals for mutual benefit.
