Reddit mentions: The best turmeric herbal supplements

Thank you so much again for the reply. I know my posts can be long but no matter how long it takes for you to get back to me, I really appreciate it. Really means a lot to me to have someone as competent as yourself answer my questions, and I've been thinking about what you've said a lot lately.

>Hmmm, I don't actually know for sure which would be more stressful on your heart valves between those two choices, sorry I can't be of more help there.

I appreciate your honesty there, no problem. Smart answer.

My solution right now is to run it the NPP at 490mg and run P5P and Vitamin E instead of caber (Unless you think that'd still carry negative health effects) but if that doesn't work out then I'm done with nandrolone forever and lower dose tren would be my only 19 nor I'd use again. Don't even think I'd need any 19 nors after this blast or even now since like you said, I have a good base now. Just sucks to throw away so much NPP and tren but I'll probably just try to run test/EQ after this blast, as it keeps weighing on my mind as the smartest decision every time since you've brought it up.


>If you're taking a 10-20mg/day of Tbol as a day versus 50-100mg/day, there's obviously going to be a difference in risk. But 50mg/day isn't going to be 5x as beneficial (or even twice as good) as 10mg/day, when used to "kickstart" a cycle.

Smartest way I've seen anyone lay it out, just like you did in your other reply

> because at a certain point you're looking at heavily diminishing returns with more potential detriment. Cuz the difference between running a total of 250mg/week of 500mg/week of AAS is astronomical, but there's not that big of a difference between 500mg/week and 750mg/week, and definitely not between 1g/week and 1.5g/week. But the detrimental effects increase pretty much linearly, so the risk:reward profile gets worse and worse.

I've always understood diminishing returns, but it's just that I've seen how the muscular gains in certain testosterone studies were linear up to 600mg/week of test E (the highest dose I've seen in the studies), so I assumed that it might be linear even higher up and similarly with things like nandrolone or tren or even bold. Tried to find the studies but here is one at least Don't have access to the full text through so I'm sorry.


Regarding beta blockers, I should be able to get some metoprolol pretty easily in a few days here, although I know it's not as cardioselective as nebivolol which would be a little trickier to obtain. Not sure how much more cardioselective or better overall nebivolol would be but I've heard it's by a lot.

I might give metoprolol a try but not sure what dose you'd recommend to start at. It's alright if you don't have time to lay out specific dose related recommendations for it and let me know if you think nebivolol would be a lot better.


Thanks for explaining your reasoning for mentioning tbol as well. Surprised you didn't mention dbol or anadrol since those have been pretty widely used historically, but anadrol gives me really bad sides. I'd be willing to tolerate the bloat, high BP and pretty bad lethargy if it didn't make me lose 30-40 hairs every day lol. Dbol makes me lose just enough hairs to make it not a long term viable option, so I'll look into giving tbol a try then!

Another random thing I wanted to ask you about, you said if you do ever use AAS you'd use

>2.5mg of aromasin/day

The only pharma Aromasin pills I've seen are 25mg, how do you plan to dose 2.5mg of pharma asin?

Lastly, I see that you're mod of /r/Supplements. Thanks for the reassurance that the Vitamin D3 and CoQ10 are helpful. Just wanted to ask if you have any recommendations in regards to other things to include, or what to remove.



On blasts, I'm also still taking: Tumeric This brand, which claims to include Bioperine due to tumeric's supposed low bioavailability, just wanted to ask what you think of that or tumeric in general for AAS centered supplementation.

Which form of CoQ10 you recommend (Ubiquinone vs. Ubiquinol) or if that even matters.

In addition to Fish oil (just omega 3s, would you recommend Omega 369?), 500mg milk thistle on orals, 1.5g TUDCA on orals, 1g Choline/inositol for liver health year round, 2.2g aged garlic extract for cardiovascular health, 1.2g NAC, and a multivitamin, (Complete multi by Naturemade because they're USP certified, let me know if you have another multi preference to recommend!).

I think the best supplement you can take to help with lifting is creatine. It's cheap, the most studied supplement on the market, and beneficial for just about everyone. Terry Wahls talks about adding it to her diet as a way to put her MS in remission. It's good for your brain, muscles, hormones. I'll probably take creatine for the rest of my life. Examine.com has probably the most comprehensive page on creatine I've ever come across. Solid, straight forward info on it. Related, I just read a study where parkinson's patients took creatine for 2 years straight and had no adverse effects (some people are concerned with kidney function, because creatine raises blood creatinine levels, which can be a marker of kidney problems).

In some folks (like me), creatine also makes you look kinda fat, so if you start taking it and gain water weight (that's all it is), just don't worry about it :) Creatine causes your body to retain a lot more water in every cell, and basically makes me look like I've gained 5-10lbs. If I stop taking it for a week or two, I deflate back to normal.

If you don't want to go the creatine route, bulksupplements carries a ton of good supps. You could get caffeine powder, which will last a while, and add it pre-workout for energy and post-super-intense-workouts with carbs to help replenish glycogen. It could also potentially help with your weight loss goal, though probably not enough to make a big deal of. Also, I'd just recommend drinking coffee before your workout, because coffee has a lot of benefits and is a strong antioxidant.

BCAAs are good if you wanted to get some more. Citrulline malate is a good pre-workout, you could add it to BCAAs pre-workout. Read a study the other day that says fasted AM cardio was awesome for fat burning. You'll want to take some BCAAs before that to preserve lean muscle. If you wanted to try something like lean gains, BCAAs are a staple if you also exercise in the fasted state.

I might even get a big bag of cinnamon because cinnamon's awesome. Curcumin (turmeric extract) is good, too. You can eat both of these, and each has some pretty cool properties.

I'm not sure if this helps, it does for me, but turmeric has been known to be a highly effective anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-arthritic natural medicine.

Mix 1 full tsp turmeric with 1/4 tsp pepper in 10 once glass of water with green tea package. It will taste off but trust me it works! You can warm it to sip it like a broth or broth-tea. Mix regularly since turmeric powder settles and it should begin to clear it up symptoms.

You two be brave and positive, MMJ will relieve the pain if you can get your hands on it. But turmeric and green tea will hopefully reverse the disease she's been stricken with. The pepper is for the enzymes of turmeric to be absorbed more efficiently by the liver.

It doesn't hurt to try. Research it. Here's a good link for turmeric. God bless.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019G9P3OI/ref=mp_s_a_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1504315034&sr=8-6&keywords=turmeric+powder

Edit: Vitamin D and B12 will help balance the immune system. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with crohn's disease, by adding it back in it will correct the autoimmune system.

All the basics that help people stay regular. Eat a salad for lunch, the insoluble fiber will help with your constipation and as a benefit will keep your blood sugar stable and reduce your cravings for snacks in the afternoon.

You can try taking a probiotic, this is the one I'm using.

But you know what has seemed to really help eliminate my constipation problem, I mean totally eliminate it? Magnesium.

Not only are my poops no longer hard but they are many times actually soft. I recently decided I didn't like the direction my health was headed, got my blood work done and found I was pre-diabetic and had slight anemia. So I started hitting the gym nearly every day, eating way better, and supplementing. I did some research for supplements backed by science. The list I came up with was this:

Creatine Monohydrate

Magnesium (L-Threonate is supposedly better able to cross the blood-brain barrier)

Vitamin D3

Turmeric

Fish Oil

I've been taking all of this stuff for about two months now and between that, the better diet, and working out my energy levels are much higher, my strength is already improving a lot, and my poops are not hard anymore.

Right now I'm on a low dose of Suboxone, 2mg/day, so I'm sure that helps. After being on this drug for 11 years I'm a big believer in being on the lowest dose you can be comfortable on.

I don't want to get too off topic but this channel has been so helpful to me for to start improving my health that I'm going to link to the supplements video in case anyone else here finds it useful:

https://youtu.be/1U5W1pQjqmA

Good luck with your poop!

I'd recommend getting a little of each and seeing which ones help your pain the best (avoid getting any tinctures, extracts, or anything stronger than regular kratom, as this will be very strong and increase your tolerance). You'll want to get a kitchen scale to measure out your doses accurately (one that measures in grams).

Start low, with 3 grams or so, and increase by 0.5 g each time you take it until you get the results you are looking for. Then stay at that dose as long as possible. Make sure you take it when you get up and have an empty stomach, and avoid taking it with dairy, as this will coat your stomach and hamper the effects.

I also recommend getting a blender bottle to mix it in a liquid. I recommend shaking it up with either strong orange juice (get frozen OJ and use a bit less water than it calls for) or chocolate or dark chocolate almond milk. It tastes like shit, so be prepared for that.

It also makes some people nauseated, so I recommend getting some Chimes ginger chews and eating 2 of those after you take your kratom so that your tummy is okay. Ginger also has some antiinflammatory properties itself.

I take 2 of these capsules about 30 minutes prior to taking my kratom, as it is said to potentiate the kratom and also have antiinflammatory properties, and then I take 1.5 g agmatine sulfate right before taking my kratom, as it helps keep tolerance down and helps keep any withdrawals at bay if I can't take my kratom right on time.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. I truly believe that kratom saved my life. I'm still in pain, obviously, but it treats it well enough (and without being a drugged up zombie) that it's worth it. It does still make you a bit high when you take a higher dose, but nothing on the level of prescription narcotics.

Also, you should visit /r/kratom and/or /r/KratomKorner. Those are both great communities for people who use kratom, and you can get answers to a lot of your questions there. Good luck! I hope it works as well for you as it has for me.

Ukon no Chikara ingredients: glucose sugar, 10g turmeric extract (30mg curcumin,) dexirin, oligosaccharide, niacin, plus ginseng, vitamin B6, vitamin E and inositol. Probably not enough curcumin to help. I take them when my old knee injury acts up sometimes, usually with another anti inflammatory like asprin, and something that has black pepper so that curcumin will actually absorb. You might be better off finding some supplements at a pharmacy. Like 明治薬品 濃縮秋ウコン or something else under this category.
Ranitidine pills are here, too, in case you run out of those. Look for ラニチジン75 mg, packages with "胃酸を抑える薬" on them. Or whichever dose you normally use. This is the kind we got for my MIL when she visited and left her pills back home on the counter. There are pill forms and the more common powder packets that you mix with water and drink. They worked fine for her, but she also avoided a lot of "spicy" and acidic foods anyway because she isn't that adventurous of an eater. YMMV. If Zantec isn't working for you, look for that package and check out the other options near it with all the distressed stomachs on them. Google translate camera should help you parse out the active ingredients.
There's a lot of ginger here. Would just eating pickled ginger help? Or making tea with fresh ginger from a supermarket? Any import shops (like Jupiter or Khaldi) will probably have jars with Korean honey ginger tea, usually near the yuzu/citron tea. There are chews and candies with real ginger, too. Check out any 100 yen shop, Daiso usually has the best selection of that sort of thing. And just like the curcumin above, here's some supplements to look for.
Apple cider vinegar is at most grocers, too. With all the other vinegar. There's usually a few with apples on it that say リンゴ酢, like this. They're not as cloudy as the ones you are used to, not sure if they'll be as effective.
Feel better soon! Don't miss out on all the tasty things.

I actually did some research on supplements that can help the liver recently for an alcoholic family member. Here is what I found,

Milk Thistle


Multiple studies from Europe suggest benefits of oral milk thistle for cirrhosis. In studies up to five years long, milk thistle slightly improved liver function and decreased the number of deaths in people with liver disease. Although these results are promising, most studies have been poorly designed. Better research is necessary before a strong conclusion can be made. Source

Recommended Dosing For cirrhosis, 160-800 milligrams of silymarin (Main ingredient of Milk Thistle) has been taken by mouth in 2-3 divided doses daily by mouth for up to two years.

Tudca

The next supplement is Tudca (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid) is known to help reduce liver enzyme levels and liver re-genesis. From my understanding this supplement is much more effective and has better studies than Milk Thistle. 10-13mg daily has once been shown to improve liver regenesis rates in a clinically ill population.

The decrease in liver enzymes associated with cholestasis is quite strong, and TUDCA is a reference drug for these effects. Source

An increase in hepatocyte regeneration has been noted with TUDCA in persons with liver disease. Source


Turmeric

Turmeric may be another supplement that can help regenerate the liver. Studies have shown regenerative properties and lower enzyme levels in individuals with liver damage. Source

Here is a link from Amazon for the fermented kind that was used in the main study, Link.

Ever thought about a potentiator? Lemon is an easy one but Turmeric is a two-fold helper.

Turmeric with piperine (black pepper) to help lower your dose and it has a ton of anti-inflammatory properties. I used to have good results with the GAIA brand capsules. Unrelated to the kratom seller GAIA. There are cheaper versions but make sure it has the pepper. It can thin your blood if you have other health issues just FYI. I hope you find relief.

Is this the one you're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-Enhanced-Absorption/dp/B00A39MPNI

It looks really good actually, it has black pepper in it to help with absorption. It also tells you exactly how much of the 500mg is made up of curcuminoids which is awesome, but I'm guessing a lot of supplements don't say tell you right? So it'd be really difficult to know.

FWIW I take Sports Research for all my other supplements like VitD & Omega 3's and I really like the company. Overall a fantastic brand with great quality stuff. Just never knew they had a curcumin capsule

I'm in the nutraceutical biz and what I've found is most effective is to look up on Amazon or Vitacost the drug that I'm taking, than I check the ingredients and from this you'll find the safe dosages. Branded retailers are pretty good about putting correct qty in capsules.

Go to Amazon and just type in "Enhanced Turmeric" a number of products show up. or click this link
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=enhanced+turmeric

this product says 10mg per 1500mg dose
https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499540532&sr=8-2&keywords=enhanced+turmeric

This product is 10mg per 1300mg dose
https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-absorption-BioPerine-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01N18P82R/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499540532&sr=8-3&keywords=enhanced+turmeric\

So the suggested dose of retailers is 10mg per 1500mg that is the safe level. These companies have researchers who investigate the products before formulating. Let them do there work and just follow there findings and you'll be fine. We are in a litigous society so if they are wrong than they can be sued. They usually aren't.

Is "BioPerine" just a brand name for Piperine? From Google it seems like they are both extracted from pepper. If so would something like this be an ideal way to get both from a single source?

Edit: A little more Google-Fu answered my first question. "BioPerine® is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. Secondly, it is the only source from piperine to have undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use." Thoughts on the product linked?

I highly recommend a good turmeric circumin supplement, I take two in the morning and one at night and have found it highly beneficial. Here's what I use, it's got the best concentration to price ratio I've seen on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VSVKJ8I?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Did you use turmeric or curcumin?

Make sure you get something that is only only turmeric extract (curcumin) at 95% curcuminoids. They get tricky with labels and add turmeric to lower the cost, but also the effectiveness.

This was the best product I have used:

https://biotest.t-nation.com/products/curcumin

Although, I went to order some the other day and they were out. I look today, the price went up $8 and it says "new double strength formula now with 50% more servings" and is still out of stock. So obviously they are reformulating it. I think the label there is still the old label.

Anyways, I ended up going on Amazon to find a comparable product. Lots of shady ass labels with proprietary blends. I ended up ordering this, still in the mail:

https://www.amazon.com/Sports-Research-Turmeric-Curcuminoids-Bioperine/dp/B00A39MPNI/

Haven't tried curcumin with kratom, but I assume it won't do anything to change the effects, other than possibly helping with pain/inflammation in the long run. I think potentiation would be non-existent or so small as to be non-noticeable. Good supplement though.

Oh, one more idea: there have been numerous recent studies linking depression with inflammation, and the most frequently identified supplement to treat this is Turmeric, ideally encapsulated together with black pepper as it potentiates the effects. I use this as a daily supplement (but never in place of my regular medications). Below is the link to the specific kind I use in case you want to be spared all the research that myself and my mother have done into which product is the BEST 😆


Dr. Tobias Turmeric Curcumin - 15x Strength: 750 mg per Capsule of 95% Curcuminoids Plus Bioperine - 120 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y4VIHKG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Hey there! I've actually been using this turmeric supplement, but I've been taking the minimum dose. I'm going to up it to the max dose (3 tablets daily), and combine it with a CBD product... sounds like a good idea.

Thanks!

I'm 3 months into my treatment on Absorbica and i've been lifting consistently throughout my cycle 6-7 times per week with cardio in the morning. I started to feel some joint pain that isn't typical for me, so I upped my Turmeric game. Turmeric is one of the greatest anti-inflammatories, and I highly reccomend it if you're feeling any joint/tendon discomfort. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y4VIHKG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 - This is the best Turmeric product out there in my opinion because it contains 750mg of the 95% extract, whereas other supplements will only have 500mg-1g of regular Turmeric. Best of luck to you on your journey!

Turmeric curcumin has been my best friend I take 2-3 of these in the morning and night before I go to bed. Drink at least a half gallon of water per day.

I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HK6FGIS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Only because the pictures were better than some of the other ones (I don't give a rat's ass about Dr. Danielle and only a cursory concern about it being organic). I was hoping to find a version that has more piperine (examine.com recommended 20mg) but 5mg seems to be the best I could get.

I want to do some more reading on the other options (non-piperine) that examine.com mentions, once I've seen if this helps.

Well the problem is I literally cant afford to just up the dosage, as it is already expensive for me. I take 2 a day, which makes it only last 25 days. This other curcumin seems more cost effective. I already bought it so why not try it and see if it's a decent replacement for the longvida? This new curcumin is the highest rated on amazon with over 9000 reviews, all raving about its effectiveness with bodily pain, I didn't see many people talk about curcubrain helping with their body inflammation, just the mental benefits.
edit: also if you know of any well reviewed high dosage curcumin products, i'd love to check them out. This is the one I just got:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBTFO98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure if you already ordered, but for future reference, I've taken this brand on Amazon for a few years now. It's cheaper at $22 for 180 capsules and has great reviews as well, and it has always worked for me.

Yeah absolutely, glad to help. I take these and also make sure I get plenty of salt and potassium salt.

Turmeric After Sport - I get horrible lactic acid buildup that causes stiffness for days when I work out unless I take this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QATFRJE/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_qdVLzbSC3E09F

I'm sorry to hear you hurt all the time ☹

I have suffered from bouts of strong arthritis pain I my wrists, knees & list back since I was a kid. I'm also allergic to all anti inflammatory meds that could help me. So I rely mostly on natural stuff & Tylenol to manage my pain when it gets real bad. It is also a super digestive aid

Best thing I ever discovered was turmeric pills (curcumin). It is a strong natural anti-inflammatory that really works for me. I recommended it to a friend that suffered from severe IBS and he said it helped him so much after 2 weeks of taking it.

Please discuss it with your doctor & add it to your wish list if you get the green light & I will gift it to you ❤

Piperine, found in simple black pepper, increases absorbion of curcumin by 2000%

I like it, its good for inflammation and hsd other long term promising health benefits.

I take it every day. Here's the one I get: Turmeric Curcumin with Bioperine 1500mg https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DBTFO98?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Source Naturals Serene Science Theanine Serene with Relora

Gaia Tumeric Supreme

*Valerian Root Extract

Also you might want to try another strain. That source naturals stuff is stronger than the benzos I am prescribed.

I'm in the states XD

I'm just worried about wasting money on a product and it not working because it's not quality.

I tried turmeric or curcumin/piperine:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBA8DZF/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_04bdzbMYGHFQ0

.. and didn't notice any difference in my burn.

Then I tried agmatine:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PZ5WXWI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_a8bdzbQTE3RF7

... and didn't notice much change in tolerance or potentiation but I did notice it was affecting my SSRI antidepressant almost boosting it so I stopped taking it.

I'm just trying to find something to give my burns that little extra kick when I need it. The only other supplements I've found are BSO and Cats Claw. Just wary of wasting more money but BSO seems promising based on the reviews I've read. I'm not worried about the taste I use to take oregano oil and that stuff was harsh lol.

Thanks again for the insight. I may just try the 1 oz version for $8.49 as a add on item next time I purchase something

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006ZF1GW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_1bcdzbWJYG354

So is cory to increase BA mostly or for its effects of its own? And I heard people use black pepper to increase BA is this similar to using cory for BA%? And how does this product look: https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485531136&sr=8-4&keywords=curcumin
It has black pepper/bioperine in it. And do they make one that contains cory? Thanks!

Sorry to jump in on an old conversation, but does this product look similar to what you are taking?

This is what it lists for the dosages: -500mg Organic Turmeric (Curcuma longa) - 5mg Black Pepper (Bioperine®)

Thanks for any help you can provide, I am trying to slowly understand tumeric/curcumin as a supplement.

Personally I would not take a medication with those side effects. Would trying something different be doable? If so, I highly suggest Turmeric! I started taking it (prior to keto) for bursitis/tendonitis/arthritis in my shoulder. I was able to avoid eventual surgery (bone scraping) because of it! It also resolved an SI joint injury and mild arthritis in my right hand. It takes at least a month and sometimes more to notice any difference, but it truly is amazing. I take the one below, but any quality brand will work.

https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Tobias-Turmeric-Curcumin-Curcuminoids/dp/B00Y4VIHKG

And here is just one article of many you can find on the web:

https://www.arthritis.org/living-with-arthritis/treatments/natural/supplements-herbs/guide/turmeric.php

ETA: I was taking 800mg of naproxen per day for my shoulder and quit when it caused some pretty severe swelling in my ankles. It was also only taking away about 70% of the pain I was having.

I used to make golden milk which requires buying raw spice powder but I now just take a supplement (https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_121_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MEC0C78W4X0S9J4WHMJ2). I determine how much I take just based off the daily serving on the bottle. I would suggest starting off using golden milk as I think it works better. It is cheaper as well.

Yep. It's a little known secret. Try and report back!

I like Gaia brand. 2 caps at a time. Pricey, but good.

https://www.amazon.com/Gaia-Herbs-Turmeric-Strength-Phyto-Capsules/dp/B00F1J7Y9K

There's Nowfoods Longvida which is quite cheap, but dunno if it's as good. There is also this with bioperine, and apparently it's recommended for brain fogginess.

What differences have you noticed between the various BDNF methods? Curcumin vs fasting vs exercise vs Semax/Selank.

interesting. Didn't know they worked together. Thanks!

(also, I think my turmeric is some form of extract. Would this dose still be applicable? Link below to exact product I have: https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Curcuminoids-Piperine-Supplement/dp/B00WT4D57K/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1502366465&sr=1-5&keywords=turmeric&th=1 )

They say it increases the bioavailability by like 90 percent and the only part of it that matters is the actual amount if cucurmin in it from 95% I got this one for half off during a lighting sale and wish I had ordered more.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GUOFDG0/ref=mp_s_a_1_6_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1510152025&sr=1-6

I replaced it with drug store one with the same breakdown and it's fine. The bioperine is pepper.

These are the capsules: Turmeric Curcumin with Bioperine 1500mg. Highest Potency Available. Premium Pain Relief & Joint Support with 95% Standardized Curcuminoids. Non-GMO, Gluten Free Turmeric Capsules with Black Pepper https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DBTFO98/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3dm0AbE5RSGYV

Decent price.

I'll look into that. Thanks

And I use this

Perhaps someone might be aware of a better product?

No I meant turmeric itself. Apparently there are additional benefits to taking turmeric as a whole. You can get it with Meriva and am taking it now. For instance: http://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-Meriva-Turmeric-Complex/dp/B004ICYO8K or http://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-ultra-turmeric-phytosome-meriva-500-mg-60-caps

Yeah I would like to avoid reflux so I may stick with Meriva. Thanks.

I bought this a few days ago: Turmeric Curcumin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GUOFDG0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QYXpzbN56Q158

This has helped far better than anything else I've tried and I absolutely recommend it.

I'm not on any medications so I didn't feel the need to consult with a doctor about any drug interactions. I've read that turmeric is a blood thinner so keep that in mind if you decide to try it, or talk with your doctor if you are on meds.

I personally take two of these once a day. I found it to work better than the wellbutrin I was put on.

A quick article search shows a growing effort of research regarding curcumin and its relationship with depression.

You could grind fresh turmeric into a powder in theory, but I'm don't have the time, finesse or know-how for all that lol

I probably wouldn't worry too much about gluten then. I highly recommend supplementing with this and a green tea supplement as well.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DBTFO98/

what formulation is this?

Also if you have some info on differences in formulations that would be appreciated.


Also can you just take the pill with some black pepper? Because there's like https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005MZXLKY/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A2NQQPCTDSKAC8&psc=1 which is pretty high curcumin/$ but I'm not sure about formulations and the lot.

So DHA-EPA is a good source of Omega-3s. It's also good for brain and heart health. It's usually fish oil, but since I'm massively allergic to fish, I take a vegan form made from algae (which is how fish get it to begin with). And here's the turmeric I take, it does have the black pepper in it. I have RA so it's helped a lot with inflammation.

I don't think AIP is going to inflame your body even more if you make sure your carbs are around 100/day. I think it'll actually help with your pain. But also keep in mind it's not going to go away instantly; it might take a couple of weeks before you notice a difference, so keep with it!

Thanks. I'll take your recommendation on the caffeine. Regarding the curcumin, the serving size is 3 pills, I am already taking less. This is the one I am using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBTFO98. It's for aiding in recovery, although I wouldn't be able to tell how much is helping.

​

The ashwagandha I use is this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078K93HFD

This is exactly what I take. Hopefully this doesn't get flagged as spam or anything, swear to god I'm not profiting off this in anyway, just want to help folks out.

https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98

Curcumin extract is the active ingredient in turmeric - or at least the main driver of the benefits. I have seen some positive anti inflammatory effects myself, less joint pain after working out, reduced allergies, etc.

It is not very bioavailable in the body, so make sure you go with a brand that is high quality and uses bioperine - which enhances bioavailablity.

Curcumin Extract Supplement

Here is the one I have been using. Its cheap and I can afford it, LOL

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WT4D57K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought some from Amazon

It works really well w/ black pepper

https://www.amazon.com/Starwest-Botanicals-Organic-Turmeric-Powder/dp/B019G9P3OI/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=turmeric&qid=1572651305&sr=8-7#customerReviews

Kratom On!

Oh really? :/

I got the Divine Bounty brand, which you can order on Amazon. Here is a link:

http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1459344989&sr=8-1&keywords=divine+bounty+turmeric+curcumin+c3+with+bioperine

Better absorption than black pepper/bioperine

This one works a bit better for me. Notice it has 750 mg and there are 120 capsules

http://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B00VSVKJ8I/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1462640302&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=divine+family+curcumin

Yes :) the formal dose is two, but I just take one once a day with my other supplements. Helped within 24-48 hours.

This is the one I used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A39MPNI/ref=mp_s_a_1_34_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1519401803&sr=8-34&keywords=tumeric+curcumin+supplement&dpPl=1&dpID=51FEEhwhlJL&ref=plSrch

I'm not entirely sure at the moment. Right now I am doing the following:

• 4 vitamin D drops/day [8,000iu] https://amzn.com/B004HGF69I
  
• 3 turmeric capsules https://amzn.com/B00WT4D57K
  
• 1 fish oil pill https://amzn.com/B004O2I9JO
  
• No starch in diet along with lowish carbs. Lots of salad with some fruit. Lean meats
  
• Low-impact cardio every evening [longboarding]
  
• 8 hours sleep/night
  
  Prices of those supplements may be less elsewhere...
  
  For the past few years I have taken Humira as needed when the AS really flares up. But I haven't had a shot for months, and this is probably the best I have felt since I was diagnosed. I can't believe how well the above protocol is working. Hopefully it lasts: AS is a horrible disease!
  
  I'm actually off Testosterone shots right now, and my natural production is slowly creeping upwards. My AS might have actually gotten worse on T shots. Impossible to say for sure, though.

interesting — how long have u been taking it?

this one

yes this is the one I'm using

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VSVKJ8I?keywords=curcumin&qid=1453173557&ref_=sr_ph&sr=1

up to 4 pills a day now don't notice anything from it

The brand is not important.
Look at the "power": 700 mg in my case; the higher, the better.
Next time, I probably will buy https://www.swansonvitamins.com/swanson-premium-turmeric-720-mg-240-caps .
My current ones are https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005MZXLKY .

sure thing:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WT4D57K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

i take them for joint stiffness, and any additional mental health benefits. i'm 54, have tried taking one for a while, but it wasn't enough.

To be fair, that brand claims to test for heavy metals: https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Bioperine-Available-Standardized-Curcuminoids/dp/B01DBTFO98

GUYS GIVE YOUR DOG A LITTLE CURCUMIN IN THEIR FOOD DAILY!! My YORKIE had a skin growth that disappeared after 1 month of curcumin use. I use https://www.amazon.com/High-Quality-Turmeric-Curcumin-Curcuminoids-/dp/B00WT4D57K/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466249594&sr=8-1&keywords=curcumin

It's $19.99 at cvs but amazon has it for $11.72. It's a 60 count but you take 3 at a time.

Lara Briden recommends Meriva turmeric or Davidson laboratories. I buy this [one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWA6WO8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it seems to be working.

We use this, I take it too! First we made sure they were okay with it by just adding a weight-appropriate amount to their food once a day, then twice a day (the recommended amount is for a 150lb person so we just did 1/5th a capsule for 30lb dog). We do our own raw and I do a veggie mix with leafy greens, carrots, beets, pumpkin/sweet potato, yogurt, raw honey, seasonal herbal and seaweed mixes (prepared by our local raw feeding co-op), some fruit, ginger, and red palm oil, so once I knew they were okay with it I just ground up a month's worth of turmeric capsules for two dogs with a month's worth of the veggie mix and added it to the meat grind.

Oh, and FWIW, we also tried switching to a "cooling" protein (traditional chinese medicine thing), since we had been feeding chicken before, and I am not sure that made a difference, other than being a pain in the ass to grind (duck has a TON more fat and it kept clogging the grinder).

1,500 mg per day. You will see results in 3-4 weeks. You don't have to take it forever, just until symptoms are cleared. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WT4D57K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My mom is getting up there in age, works a job in retail where she is standing all day, and doesn't take care of herself much, consequently she started developing joint pain/arthritis. Looking around I found the best bet for reducing her symptoms was an absorption enhanced curcumin supplement and boswellia serrata extract. She hasn't complained in months about aches or pains, and this was after trying glucosamine/chondroitin/fish oil which did nothing for her.

Yeah, man. This is the one I take, but there are plenty out there:

http://www.amazon.com/Gaia-Herbs-Turmeric-Strength-Phyto-Capsules/dp/B00F1J8K4I/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1418666564&sr=1-1&keywords=gaia+turmeric+supreme

Curcumin. My daughter's GI suggested it for it's benefits in the inflammation of the Intestines, but we find it brings her joint pain from a 6/7 to a 0/1. She even recently has started working out again. She takes two of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DBTFO98/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A32DGYOAL6LMZV a day, which is the amount that the tests the NIH show to be beneficial.

Interesting... is this the one you've been using?

Did you check Schwartz Bioresearch brand?

I was going to buy curcumin 500mg for my grandpa. But what do you think about it ? Is it sufficient or something else to replace/ go with it ?

dude I've felt like that before. try what I did: start taking this Turmeric stuff twice a day. It's good for your liver and an antidepressant. Also if you're not getting enough sunlight and nutrition, you're probably vitamin D deficient, which also contributes to depression. Grab some D.
Last but not least, take these liver pills before drinking. It will help minimize the damage to your liver.

Another thing, see if you can get yourself into a detox for at least a weekend, try to get some help. sounds like you're on a rapid downward spiral. suicide ain't the answer man. PM me anytime.

When it gets bad, I take 2 tart cherry extract caps and 1 turmeric cap all at once and I feel it fades away for awhile. It only works for 4 hours. I've been taking these pills for 10, 15 years no problem.
