Curcumin increases the bioavailability of green tea.

A recent study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies found that the combination of turmeric and green tea reduced cholesterol levels in mice that were fed a high-fat diet. It is important that curcumin increases the bioavailability of EGCG (the active part of green tea), that it allows it to exert an antihyperlipidemic effect, Ukr informs. media.

Active speech in turmeric creates a wonderful diva for the body. Curcumin is the main active ingredient of turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers.. However, as with green tea extract (EGCG), curcumin may impair bioavailability. Dana Angelo White, Registered Dietitian at Queenpack University in Connecticut (USA), says that "

“In order to reverse this hypothesis, the team conducted experiments on mice, which were supplemented with diets with high fat content. The stinks divided the bears into three groups. The first group (A) took the rare atorvastatin, a drug for lowering cholesterol, the other group - green tea extract (B), the third - green tea extract with curcumin (C)"

Researchers have shown that group C recognized the greatest reduction in blood cholesterol levels. They suggested that curcumin added to increase the bioavailability of EGCG, allowing it to contribute to lowering cholesterol.
