Turmeric + Black Pepper
Aside from spicing up your favorite dishes, turmeric and black pepper do wonders to your health. Turmeric is known for supporting digestion, soothing joints and muscles, and reducing skin conditions like eczema. On the other hand, black pepper contains magnesium, phosphorous, iron, calcium, fiber, antioxidants and other nutrients.

So why should you take these two together? Turmeric is also known for its antioxidant curcumin. However, it's not easily absorbed into the bloodstream — which is where black pepper comes in. You see, it's rich in piperine, which enhances the absorption of curcumin into your body. This boosts your immune system and makes turmeric more effective.

Prebiotics + Probiotics
Some of your favorite yogurts may already contain probiotics, the good bacteria that aid in your digestion and boost your immune system. But to help them flourish, you've got to feed and nourish them with prebiotics. Think of it like gardening inside your body: The probiotics are the plants while the prebiotics is the fertilizers which ensure that your garden is blooming.

Calcium + Vitamin D
You've known since childhood that calcium makes healthier bones. But even though you're a full grown adult now, your body still needs bone-supporting nutrition. Calcium can protect you from heart disease, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Taking it together with vitamin D helps your body absorb it better. Aside from that, the vitamin D also plays a role in the growth and remodeling of your bones.

Vitamin E + Omega-3
Both vitamin E and omega-3 work amazingly for your vision, brain, and skin. It may seem repetitive to take them together, but they can actually amplify each other's benefits, especially for your brain. Vitamin E protects the omega-3 fatty acids in your brain, which in turn provide support to your cognitive health. Sharper mind and amazing skin? We want it!

Try: Puritan's Pride Vitamin E-1000 IU , $9.27 & Nutrigold Triple Strength Omega-3 Fish Oil, $56.24
