Source NaturalsTurmeric with Meriva for Healthy Inflammatory Response* - 500mg, 60 Capsules

Like many of the other comments on here, I've had increasing pain in my joints (mainly my knees). It was strange because it seemed to occur suddenly. I have been working out more to lose weight, but I've never experienced knee pain like this. I have been taking hemp oil 2x daily for arthritis in two toes (the result of serious breakage). That has been working great for my feet, but not so much for my knees.I just happen to be an IT specialist for a large medical practice and while I was in working on one of our natural medicine doctor's PC, I saw a couple bottles of Turmeric on his desk. So, I looked it up and saw that it's great for inflammation. So, I bought my first bottle a few weeks ago. I didn't really notice much relief at first, but I kept up with taking it 2x a day. By last week, I have noticed that my knees don't hurt as much when I first get up in the morning, and there's not much pain during the day. I'm going to keep using it to see if the pain relief continues.It's been almost a month now and I'm so pleased. I just trotted up the steps this morning and smiled because my knees didn't hurt. I need to add that I've also added Glucosamine, so the combination of the two is a huge help.UPDATE: After a few months of taking this and noticing a big reduction in the pain in my knees, I'm totally sold on this product. But, the test actually came recently when I stopped taking it. I was on a medication for an issue and my doctor told me to stop taking any unnecessary supplements because they could affect the potency of the prescription med. The RX she prescribed was for two weeks. My knee pain returned while not taking Turmeric. My part time job in the evenings has me on my feet from 6 to 10 hours. The following mornings, I can barely walk when I first get out of bed. But, I'm now back using this twice a day and the pain is once again greatly reduced.

great brand of tumeric, easy to absorb and worth the price. helps with inflammation a lot

So, far, about two weeks, I have not seen a difference between this and other quality tumeric supplements without this product's additional ingredient of meriva. Both have been equally effective in alleviating joint stiffness. So, that said, do not dismiss this product. One would have to make his/her own evaluation. Price is very good compared to other vendors for exact same product.

Bulging lumbar disc impinging L4 here which suddenly caused pain down leg, numb patella and shin and a weak quad. MRI also suggested stenosis may be in the mix (but who knows with mri results). Was on week 5 of physical therapy with steady but very slow progress. Couldnt walk more than 200’ at a time and still in frequent pain. Was taking standard formulation turmeric 3x day upon recommendation of a friend and noticed an hour or two of some relief. Did some research and found the whole thing about absorption challenges and how meriva is better. Took my first meriva pill at lunch and by 3pm was able to walk for 1/2hr. Starting to regain some feeling in the shin. Problem is keeping myself from over doing anything since the pain is reduced so much. Id also mention that many other joints throughout my body feel “loose” which i assume is all about the inflammation reduction. Im sold so far and am surprised at how different it is than standard turmeric.

Suggested to take with 1-A-Day vitamins

Had a sales person in a health food store recommend this because I was having issues with shoulder pain and that muscle that runs along your shoulder bone on your back. I told her I got relief when I took ibuprofen but I didn’t want to take it all the time. She suggested this as it helps with inflammation. I was skeptical, but my wife insisted I try it. I took two at once per her instructions (just initially for a couple of days) then one twice a day. The relief was immediate and dramatic. Definitely not like ibuprofen, but definitely a huge difference that improved daily as I continued to take it. The only think i would say is take it with food. It does upset my stomach some if I’m take it on an empty stomach.

I have had significant relief from hip bursitis taking this brand. I increased the dose I take to 9 capsules per day (3,3,3) and the inflammation is so much less. It took two weeks to notice a difference, but thank goodness it is working. Pain meds don’t touch my bursitis, only PT with dry needling and electrical stimulation ever help. It is taking much longer this time, but the tumeric is helping.

I actually found out recently just how good this Turmeric with Meriva really is...I ran out of the first bottle and when I did, the inflammation in my joints...fingers, knees, and ankles, came back big time causing me alot of pain, so I ordered two more bottles and requested fast delivery, and within ten minutes of taking the first two capsules, I could feel the relief setting in...I now take two in the morning and two in the evening, and my pain levels are way down because of this great supplement. I take this one because I am allergic to black pepper and this stuff works GREAT !! I have alot of joint pain due to injuries sustained as a firefighter for nearly 40 yrs.

I liked the product. But there is no legitimate need for an increase from about 3600 yen to about 4800 yen, in 6 months. No sale.
