Plains work and Air Capital shifts

Kansas wheat harvest means long days in the cab, and cattle and grain operations run year-round. Wichita, known as the Air Capital of the World, has thousands of people working aircraft-manufacturing shifts. Across the state, people drive long distances on open highways to get anywhere.

Long drives across the plains invite the kind of stress that lingers. Our article on calming stress naturally covers habits, and our explainer on pairing curcumin with black pepper covers the science.

Five parts, one routine

Wichita aircraft builders, Dodge City feedyard hands and Kansas City commuters prefer things that just work. The black pepper is not a seasoning here; its piperine helps your body actually take up the curcumin. Its creator spent two decades with patients before building it in Baton Rouge. Here are the references we used.

Storm season and harvest season

Spring storms and summer wheat cutting can scramble a Kansas schedule overnight. Many customers in Hays and Hutchinson keep two capsules in the truck console during harvest so they are taken with a field lunch instead of skipped. Just bring the bottle back inside before afternoon heat builds in the cab.

Flint Hills burns and Sunflower State summers

Each spring, ranchers burn the tallgrass of the Flint Hills to renew the prairie, and by July sunflower fields bloom across the western half of the state. Kansans who work that land, or commute to aircraft plants in Wichita and offices in Overland Park, usually want one less thing to manage. Supper is a good time to take the capsules, when the day's work is done and the kitchen table is the one fixed point in the schedule.

Shipping to Kansas

Ground parcels reach Topeka, Salina and Garden City after the trip up from Louisiana. Free freight starts at fifty dollars.

Questions from Kansas customers

Why is black pepper in a turmeric supplement?

Curcumin, the main compound in turmeric, is poorly absorbed on its own. In a small 1998 study of healthy volunteers, adding 20 mg of piperine from black pepper raised curcumin absorption by about 2,000%. Our guide to curcumin with black pepper covers the research and its limits.

My doctor in Wichita has me on a blood thinner. Can I take this?

Not without asking that Wichita doctor, because curcumin may affect clotting. Our interaction guide explains more.

Can I order for my whole family in one shipment?

Yes. Add several bottles to one order; once the total passes $50, shipping costs nothing.

Your Kansas starting point

Kansans usually try a lone bottle first, then switch to a subscription they pause during wheat harvest. Order in Kansas.
