I am considering curcumin supplement. I noticed it in few signatures, so wondering if anybody would like to give me a feedback, if it was useful.

If you remember, please mention the brand and dose used.

Thanks in advance.

So far Doctor's Best Curcumin with Bioperine works best for me (I've tried four brands). I take 2 grams per day.

I use a tumeric ginger tea. it seems to quiet things. did the curcumin pills for a while, but the tea seems about the same. neither did a lot, but seemed to help a little.

I took the turmeric pills. I did not notice a difference. But I was taking them and ginger and vitamin E. My blood got too thin. I was bruising so easily. I actually got my finger stuck for a WBC and blood squirted four feet. So be careful because all three of those are natural blood thinners. Some doctors do not know it so it can be dangerous before procedures.

I took Thompson Tumeric Curcumin 2400 mg for a month, then 1200 mg.

It put 'gold flakes' in my poo. That's the only noted change.

delta,

great question.

I just started adding it a few days ago too.

The one i got is from LEF - they have a a super bio-curcurmin.

At this point it's only my 3rd day and I'm doing one pill a day.

We'll see. Although it's entirely possible that the dosage i"m on isn't high enough to make a dent?

BTW, I am not taking it for my UC ( which is in total remission), but rather for general inflammtion and i'm hoping it's going to help me with all my terrible pains.

I have used it for over a year and think it is helpful I would mention that it is well documented that you should take Bioperine with Curcumin. Otherwise, it likely is not going to absorb correctly and not provide the desired effect.

Best...

Re: piperine, I eat a lot of black pepper, and kept it at my place at the table during the time I was taking tumeric.

What benefit are those with positive results experiencing?

Adding curcumin pulled me out of my second flare. Gave me a nice 3 month remission until a virus set me back. I still take it since I have seen the benefits firsthand. Currently taking 2grams/day of Jarrow brand.
