THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
This will be long but the history is necessary so you understand where I was and where I am now. :)I have struggled with joint pain for as long as I can remember. There has not been a single day that I can't remember not being in pain and it's just something I've come to live with. I was eventually diagnosed with labral tears in my hip joints, fibromyalgia, and palindromic rheumatoid arthritis (PRA). The pain got so bad that I received cortisone injections and agreed to surgery in the near future that would leave me immobile for 6 months on each hip. Until then, I was on every kind of medicine imaginable. Lyrica, Nucynta, Percocet, Vicodin, 800 mg Ibuprofen every 8 hours, etc. I couldn't function without them, my joints were stiff and it was hard to walk. I used to be a runner but due to the labral tears was not able to exercise more than a brisk walk which really made things worse. I have three children under the age of 5 and I was sick of being sick. I was tired of being looked at like a junkie every time I had to get my prescriptions filled. People made comments because I'm not even 30 yet and I look young so clearly I must have been faking it. It was humiliating and I was suffering in silence so I ended up on antidepressants also. Chronic pain tends to do that to people. I was tired of not having energy, of being depressed, and being miserable. I decided to do some research and find a natural way out of the pit I was in. I started taking Vitamin D, B complex, Turmeric, a multivitamin, Probiotics, St Johns Wort ( for depression), Sam-e (for depression), Stinging Nettle Leaf, and Diatomaceous Earth (DE). (I'm pretty sure all of them are available on Amazon.) I started taking these about a year ago and was able to wean off of my antidepressant one month in. I eventually was able to stop taking all of my pain meds and have been med-free for several months now. This is nothing short of a miracle. I still have days where I wake up stiff and sore due to the barometric pressure changes but I no longer need to carry the pills with me wherever I go and stay medicated just to be able to function. I have energy, I am happy, I am able to get outside and can actually ENJOY playing with my kids. I am so thankful that I said NO MORE to Western medicine and took my life back. Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of the Turmeric / Curcumin (and keeping my stress level as low as humanly possible), I haven't had a flare-up of PRA in almost a year.Turmeric is one of the most amazing supplements you can take. There are so many benefits and I recommend it to everyone. I'm sure you've already read about them which is why you're here, reading reviews. If you decide to purchase, it will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Inflammation down
I have been taking turmeric for years, but this is the first time I've taken Dr. Tobias....the inflammation in my fingers has gone down considerably and I've only been taking this for 2 weeks. Looking forward to future benefits!

GREAT PRODUCT
FOR ABOUT A YEAR, I HAVE HAD ANNOYING PAIN WITH MY LEG JOINTS. I HAD RECEIVED AN EMAIL REGARDING TURMERIC AND THEN RESEARCHED IT. I LIKED THE REVIEW FOR DR. TOBIAS AND ORDERED IT. I AM STILL ON THE ORIGINAL BOTTLE I ORDERED. I WOULD SAY IT TOOK ABOUT 3 WEEKS FOR ME TO START FEELING RELIEF FROM THE PAIN. NATURAL PRODUCTS ALWAYS TAKE LONGER THAN BIG PHARMA POISONS, SO IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HAVE 90% LESS PAIN NOW. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE DR. TOBIAS'S TUMERIC. IN FACT, I FINALLY CONVINCED MY HUSBAND TO START USING IT. HE IS WRACKED WITH INFLAMATION AND TAKES ASPIRIN ALL DAY LONG FOR PAIN, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD THING. I WILL REPORT BACK WITH HIS GOOD NEWS IN A FEW WEEKS. I AM NOW ABLE TO DO THINGS WITHOUT PAIN WHICH HAMPERED MY A GREAT DEAL. I AM A DOER BY NATURE, BUT WAS INHIBITED BY PAIN. NOW I AM ACTIVE AGAIN. SO THANKS!

I just have been feeling amazing lately and I'm glad I bought this
I bought this and started taking with a few other supplements and I do believe it has an extremely beneficial effect. I just have been feeling amazing lately and I'm glad I bought this. But my purpose was for the health benefits. I purchased this product in particular because it had black pepper in it to aid on the absorption.

but it was much worse to begin with
I am making an all-out assault on my knees rehabilitation (osteoarthritis), so I am not certain how much the Turmeric supplement is contributing. However, I did notice a definite reduction in pain almost immediately after beginning the daily capsule and I will continue to take it. The research I did has convinced me that this is worthwhile treatment. I am going to the physical rehab and the aqua exercise classes as well. My right knee especially still gives me trouble, but it was much worse to begin with. I appreciate the company's communication and willingness to provide information and requests for feedback. To me that indicates real dedication to the customer and concern to provide an effective product.

Very good for knee pain
Very good for knee pain, however it can cause stomach ache if you take it daily. My recommendation is to take it for couple of days and then skip 2-3 days. It does help keep knee inflammation in check.

Working well reducing my arthritic pain
I have been using this turmeric supplement for several weeks and have noticed a marked reduction of arthritic pain in my fingers when compared to other turmeric supplements I have taken. I particularly appreciate the fact that only one capsule has 750 mg of turmeric extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids, whereas my previous brand required 3 capsules daily with far less potency. The price for these two products is comparable--another benefit.
