I found Curamin to be a complete waste of money and a totally overpriced product.
I started out with Turmeric Force but I soon moved to a Boswellin+Curcumin C3 w/Bioperine mixture. Now I am also taking The Greentea with Curcumin and Bioprene.
Since there are rules about posting the website that I get those products from type it into your browser and let your search engine figure it out.
Turmeric with the Bioprene (black pepper), the Boswellin, and now the one with Green Tea has done a number of things for me.
First I sleep better which means I have more energy. Second my BP lowered 30 points on both sides (3 months), my kidney function (GFR) went from 55 to 68, my blood glucose went from 118 to 95, all in 3 months, and in the past year I have lost 36 pounds on it.
And I didn't change a thing regarding diet and exercise.
As for pain I don't think I would be functioning to well with the two bulging disk in my low back (work injury) I currently have. I take 4 of the Boswellin, Curcumin tablets and then I also take 4 of the Green Tea ones per day.
Other people I know that are taking this stuff includes a person with ALS. She now is getting feeling back into her legs. The breast cancer women that I know that have taken these tablets in conjunction with the kemo have had to have less kemo treatments and their surgeries healed up at an incredible rate of speed. The doctors were amazed.
Other uses I have are wounds on the animals. I feed Turmeric powder to my one horse who has arthritic hocks. I also feed it to some of my horses to enhance their coat color. I mix the powder 4 to 1 with black pepper.
I had a mother sow once that got too much sun and the sun burn made her turn really bright pink and she was in misery! I mixed the powder with water and sprayed her down. My bright red pig turned yellow but she had no blistering and she was running about the next morning.
I feed it to the sows that don't clean real well after farrowing. I feed it to them for any mastitis issues this problem might bring about. It sure beats the $100.00 per bottle antibiotics. It also makes them milk real well.
Turmeric with its curacuminoids has antibacterial, antiviral, and antipyretic properties. Preliminary studies have shown that damaged heart valves are healed by the curacuminoids, lung tissues are healed, and now they are studying it as a means of birth control.
Everyone should take it really except it does thin the blood and it causes the smooth muscles in the gall bladder to be active which would explain why people with gall stones can't take it.
Remember the people in the government run cancer studies are on 12,000 mg per day. You can not overdose on this stuff.
But please inform your doctors that you are or want to take it if you are on anything that thins the blood. And remember it does enhance most all other substances that you consume including prescription drugs so this is the downside or the upside depending on which way you look at it.
