Turmeric
Turmeric or yellow ginger is a spice with numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and blood sugar lowering capabilities. Also, curcumin, a compound found in abundance in Turmeric, has been found to benefit kidney health in diabetics. This is important since diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. Curcumin is difficult to absorbed on its own, but when taken with piperine (found in black pepper), its absorption is increased dramatically.
