Turmeric Curcumin with Black Pepper Extract (Piperine) - 95% Curcuminoids Turmeric Supplement for Joint & Healthy Inflammation Support – Ultra High Absorption Vegan Tumeric Capsules - 120 Capsules

I have been taking this for a few months how and noticed over time that I was starting to feel much better with my joints and having fewer problems with inflammation. I had already planned to continue taking this. Then my stepmom called to tell me my dad was in the hospital and I needed to get there. I initially planned to drive but had a gut feeling that I needed to fly (I'm glad I did). The unfortunate result of flying out that very day meant that I did not have proper time to pack. I flew in my pajamas...I tossed random clothes into a backpack...and left. I did not take ANY of my supplements with me. I was away from home for over a week and noticed after a couple days that I was in more and more pain by the day. By the time I came home I resorted to prescription pain meds to take the edge off of how bad it had gotten. I only had them because they were already in my bag from my last trip. For me, this supplement as well as the glucosamine chondroitin that I take daily means that I can function in my daily life without using prescription pain meds nearly as often. While I do still have some bad pain days...most of the time I do just fine without needing to take anything stronger. I have tried other brands and prefer this one. Other brands I typically ended up with at least one burst capsule that peppered all of the pills in the bottle and left them staining my skin and tasting much worse. This brand has yet to send a bottle with a damaged capsule...which I view as a win. These ones don't taste quite so bad when I take them...because as it turns out, I do NOT like turmeric. *Please note that most of this review is copied to the review for the glucosamine chondroitin that I take as well due to having the same thing to say about both products.

I use this product man for many years very helpful. I absolutely satisfied.

I have been using this product for a few weeks now. I was told by a friend of mine and have also heard that other people are also taking Tumeric. My friends doctor told him that she does recommend Tumeric and that she has her own mother on it as well. I decided to take it hearing about the anti-inflammatory properties of it. I do have trouble with my back where it does go out and goes out to the point where it becomes quite difficult to even put on socks, pick things up off the floor, etc. My back has actually become much better since taking the Tumeric. Now I cannot swear that the Tumeric was actually a direct cause of the back becoming better along with the back healing on it's own, but it may have played somewhat of a roll in helping it to resolve the pain in the back. I will continue to take the Tumeric and see if by back does continue to keep feeling better. Try the product, it won't hurt to give it a try and see if it may help with some type of condition you may have such as back pain or of the like.

I am an old guy who has hit the exalted age of 70. I still have all my teeth and hair. I don't take any drugs and still my cholesterol levels are well below 200 and my blood pressure is consistently in the 110/70 range. I wear a pedometer and average 14,000 steps per day. I like to think that my good health results from staying away from junk food, eating organic foods - much of what I grow in my own gardens, and taking the right kind of supplements to make sure I am getting the maximum benefits from leading a healthy lifestyle. In terms of supplements, I have a regular regimen of things that sit beside my coffee cup in the morning. I take specific supplements for various benefits for long term health not because I expect A, B, or C happening after using something for X amount of days. You won't find me saying a supplement gives me lots of energy, or that my skin is soft and smooth after taking "Z" for only 20 days, etc. No, I take these supplements for long term benefits. One of my favorite supplements is curcumin which I have been using for several years. I started looking into curcumin because of some health issues I developed in the past. I am a survivor of colon cancer and I have had an issue with blood clots in one leg. The docs couldn't find any reason for the way my blood clots as I am very healthy and active, but they wanted to put me on blood thinners which present their own set of problems. Plus, my joints are starting to get a little creaky and cause me some pain now and then. I saw several articles on curcumin and it seems the stated benefits addressed some of my health issues. So, when I did my own research on curcumin, I found a lot of interesting facts. - Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color. - Turmeric has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. - Turmeric is on top of the list as one of the most frequently mentioned medicinal herbs in all of science and the next most popular studied herbs include garlic, cinnamon, ginseng, ginger and milk thistle. - Turmeric contain compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin. - Of the 6000+ studies referencing curcumin, the most interesting finding is that when turmeric is compared to conventional medicine its benefits equal that of many pharmaceutical medications. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. However, the curcumin content of turmeric is not that high… it’s around 3%, by weight. Most of the studies I could find on this herb are using turmeric extracts that contain mostly curcumin itself, with dosages usually exceeding 1 gram per day. It would be very difficult to reach these levels just using the turmeric spice in your foods. Therefore, it looked like if I wanted to experience the full effects, then I needed to take an extract that contains significant amounts of curcumin. I am not going to go into all the study findings, etc. I just wanted to state why I started taking curcumin and why it is part of my daily regimen. As I already stated, I am pretty healthy now. My colon cancer has not returned. I have not been having issues now with my joints, and I feel really good. Hopefully it is because I take supplements, like curcumin, that I can't get in the strengths that I need just from eating food. I like this brand because it does not contain junk ingredients, like stearates or titanium dioxide and other worthless fillers, and because it is reasonably priced and made in the USA.

I started taking this Curcumin on a whim after someone recommended it for people who struggle with depression. I’ve been combining two of these daily with 5-HTP for the past few months, and my lows have all but disappeared. Seriously, I can’t believe that I can function like a normal person again?? I used to get terrible lows totally out of the blue that could last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to a few months. I finally got to the point where I knew I needed to do something about it, but after experiencing friends and family who’ve had horrible issues with medication, I refused to take a questionable drug that was certain to give me adverse effects. After perusing the internet for herbal solutions, I finally found my answer: 5-HTP and curcumin. The combination has been a miracle. But I know that curcumin has been a vital factor because I was taking the 5-HTP alone months before I started this. Alone, it helped. But with curcumin, it was magic. The curcumin has not only enhanced the effects of the 5-HTP, it has helped me to FINALLY sleep well (and I know, because for the first time in my life I’m dreaming!) and overall helped me to feel... well, GOOD. It’s crazy. I’ve never been so great. I’ve waited so long to write this review because I wanted to make sure the effects weren’t temporary (sort of like how melatonin can stop working after taking it weeks in a row), but after months of this goodness, I’m convinced this stuff is a God send. And for those who have really, really sensitive stomachs like me, this has never bothered me. Not once. And I follow the directions and take it 25-30 min before a meal, so always on an empty stomach. No sickness, no stomachache. Not sure if it’s the pepper combo, but I’ll never buy another brand. Love this stuff.

I have purchased this multiple times. I am very sensitive to many things and inflammation has been a constant battle for me. The turmeric has made a very real difference and noticeable reduction in my and my husband's inflammation. I will undoubtedly purchase this again.

I have read many articles on the benefits of taking turmeric and one article in particular from a woman with severe back pain from horseback riding and the relief she got from turmeric with piperine. I have taken the turmeric for sometime and although I don't think it has relieved my back pain in any significant measure, I will continue to take it as I do think it might take a while for any noticeable relief and I also think that the turmeric itself is beneficial to my health in other ways. It might not be the cure for my particular back problems, but it certainly might be the cure to someone else's. Bottom line...going to keep taking it.

For the last several years I’ve had mild pain that I was able to write off for a long time, maybe my knee pain was from my shoes or my back pain was from my mattress. December 2018 I got some sort of illness and something happened to my body causing a ton of pain and inflammation to the max. $2000 dollars and several specialist visits later, no answers. I discovered on my own that inflammatory foods made my symptoms worse, so I cut out gluten, dairy, eggs, and especially sugar which was surprisingly the hardest. I still wasn’t 100% and constantly get some mild pain and exhaustion all the time, especially in the morning. I was told I likely had some form of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. I read that turmeric could potentially help. Let me tell you, I’ve been taking these pills a little over a week and it’s like night and day, it’s as if I have my life back. I still eat healthy, but this pill has taken me a step further and alleviated so much pain and exhaustion. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to eat the same as I did before all this started happening, but I can at least live feeling basically normal as long as I watch what I eat and take these turmeric pills. I hope there are others out there who get the amazing benefits I felt.
