Health Benefits of Ginger and Turmeric
Better together
Not only are ginger and turmeric great on their own, but they actually work better together. Like many natural substances, the different phytochemicals present interact with each other for increased potency. Compounds called gingerols in ginger act as bioenhancers (source). This means that they help your digestive system absorb other compounds. Since the main active component of turmeric - curcumin - is poorly absorbed on its own, it’s likely that consuming it with ginger helps the process along.
