(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best turmeric herbal supplements

There is evidence to show that vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 help some patients with ADD. They are very important vitamins in general, and they play a very big part in the proper functioning of your nervous system (B6 is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis among other things, and B12 is involved in the metabolism of literally every cell in the body). Some of the effects that can be seen are increased energy, motivation, and focus. If you look at the ingredients list for 5 hour energy, for instance, you will see ridiculously large quantities of these two vitamins. It might be worth a try. A quick search of Amazon brings up the following:

https://www.amazon.com/Mason-Vitamins-Formula-Tablets-90-Count/dp/B002VPE74W/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469476887&sr=8-1&keywords=b6+b12

https://www.amazon.com/Webber-Naturals-Vitamin-Folic-Tablets/dp/B001LFK9MM/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1469476887&sr=8-5&keywords=b6+b12

Take your pick, both seem to have good quantities and seem relatively reasonable price wise.

You can also try a B complex, which includes all the B vitamins and can be found at your local pharmacy, but sometimes the presence of B1 (thiamine) seems downregulate the effect of B6 in ADD patients.

In the meantime, exercise is one of the best things you can do.

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\

This product 10mg per 1500mg dose

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.

This is sort of expensive but I eat tons of it. It might be all in my head but I seem to absorb better the nutrients when I eat gummy vitamins. I've actually had some success with the flare-ups going down.

Since I'm a compulsive overeater I have to be careful cuz sometimes I can really go to town on these.

Vitafusion Turmeric Curcumin Gummy Supplement, 60 ct https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C97ZCD1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vTIYDbXPBRJNC

To be exact it is standardised to 95% curcuminoids, not standardised to 95% curcumins, This is the standard concentration used in the supplement industry, and it is considered safe and efficient at this dosage. Curcuminoids are a larger family of natural phenols that includes curcumin, plus other active compounds. Here is an example.

Try taking a daily turmeric. Turmeric is anti-inflammatory & has helped my cystic acne (jawline & back) a ton. Works quickly too—if I get that itchy familiar feeling that a breakout is coming, I take 2–3 pills at a time, and a day later, it pops up and is healing by the following day.

Even on the pill I still got breakouts and have super-pale skin like you so those angry little red spots stand out. My esthetician also recommended drinking a ton of lemon water and eating a lot of fresh parsley (tabbouleh, yum!) because it's great for clearing up the skin.

I take 4 of these a day:

Turmeric Curcumin 2000 mg 180... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G1DB67P?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I compared it to Meloxicam 15mg which I was on for a year. My stomach feels better and I was able to reduce the number of physical therapy visits. It took a month to kick in and I honestly believe I have better quality of life. I still had flare-ups where I might need to add a Meloxicam on top of the turmeric to get rid of the inflammation, but overall I am better.

The key was large doses (4 pills minimum every day).

FWIW, after reading your post here, I did some further research and came across this product: http://www.amazon.com/Formula-Cherry-Extract-Celery-Turmeric/dp/B0088JPQOU/ Has the celery seed and bromelain you mentioned, but also the tart/black cherry, which I'm currently taking by itself now.

Haven't tried it yet, but just bought it to give it a go and see if it helps at all. Will definitely report back on this sub.

30mg? that's so tiny. and 130$ is a lot for that amount. I'm in Cali.

​

\^ what i like and buy. note that 400mg is with 95% standardized curcuminoids, while normal turmeric has only 2-7% curcuminonids. unless it's in a super form of turmeric (where they process in the lab to make it more bioavailable, you got ripped off, me thinks)

I use two teaspoons of this turmeric blend

It's very beneficial to consume turmeric with black pepper. This blend has that and it tastes nice.

We give our dogs Tumeric tablets, the oldest has had arthritis since he was younger due to ACL operations and is now acting like a puppy again.
Something like this, but make sure the tablets are the tiny ones.

Generally it's sold powdered so you can mix it in whatever you want! I put it in coffee, lots of people put it in milk (cow or substitute) or tea! As far as I know, it's Indian in origin (it's called haldi doodh over there!). It's really caught on in the Western wellness industry because tumeric is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties. But I just drink it because it tastes good!

The powder I buy I get from Whole Foods, but you could probably find it at a lot of co-ops. This is the brand I buy!

Hey there! Yeah I stumbled across a liquid with both Turmeric and BioPerine on a supplement website I had a voucher for; I did a Google search and found a better price on Amazon (of course!) so here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/PLANETARY-Turmeric-Ayurvedic-Nutritional-Supplement/dp/B003MBI8JE/

The bottle doesn't say anything about Curcumin specifically, but I think that should be present in all Turmeric supplements? Looking forward to trying it!

Here is what I use. I take about 4 a day.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JA4TLTI/ref=sns_myd_detail_page

I've heard that it's best to get a "standardized" turmeric to ensure the quality but have yet to find any that say that.

I am not a Dr. This is not medical advice.

Bromelain is the chemical in pineapple juice responsible for improved flavor. It is also an anti inflammatory chemical. These are the ones I take.

https://www.amazon.com/NOW-Turmeric-Bromelain-Capsules-Count/dp/B001N4NCHA

This is standardized extract with bioprene for better absorption.

https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B01HZRJK6K/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483778958&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=Standardized+turmeric+with+black+pepper&psc=1

They make extract of turmeric targeting the curcumin, such as:

http://www.amazon.com/Source-Naturals-Turmeric-Extract-Tablets/dp/B001G7R4EQ

It also includes the black pepper that makes it work better.

> If i'm buting Turmeric then i'm getting a spice which can have different levels of purity depending on where I buy from and what brands I get.

That's why they make the standardized extracts of herbs. They're standardized to contain something like 95% of the "active ingredient".

(If you shop around, you'll see that not all of them are even close to 53 dollars, but you get the point)

I'd say a labeled bottle is safer than an unlabeled bottle. Why not get something like this: www.amazon.com/Herb-Pharm-Certified-Turmeric-Musculoskeletal/dp/B000S85FYK

...dump the contents, rinse, refill with your liquid.

I take this liposomal (highly absorbable) mixture of curcumin and resveratrol. I also take the same company's liposomal vitamin c and glutathione.

https://www.amazon.com/Optimized-Liposomal-Turmeric-Resveratrol-concentrated/dp/B019E846AI

What do you mean by "you have not used any commercial preparations of curcumin"?

I was thinking of purchasing this powder: https://www.amazon.com/Strength-Anti-Inflammatory-Antioxidant-Supplements-Friendly/dp/B01DPW5DD8?th=1

And blending it with my topical steroid medication to make a sort of paste, and applying it to my nails and massaging it in.

I was also thinking of taking a teaspoon of it with black pepper and milk each day, orally.

How do you find curcumin? You don't purchase it?
