I couldn't remember on the bioperine. It's good to have you as a baseline.
Curcumin is probably the #1 alternative thing we have going in terms of supportive research with green tea a close second. I wonder if bioperine boosts its absorption as well.

The information on curcumin is overwhelming now, showing it is a multifunctional supplement, in that it is a powerful antioxidant, anti inflammatory, and heavy metal chelator, to mention but a few.
It is consumed in quantity in curries in India, where PD incidence figures are low. Rick, this tends to argue against your excellent work showing
an excess is detrimental?
