Curcumin...anyone use it?

I take 500 mg circumin with each of my three meals a day- many of us on this forum take it. I have not really noticed any direct impact on my symptoms, but I reckon it is beneficial for health in general according to many studies. Occasionally when in flares I tried increasing my intake but then notice that there is an upper threshold of tolerance (ie too much can worsen symptoms a bit)- it is, after all a form of spice- so those experiments didnt really get anywhere.

I have seen brands that are integrated with pepper in order to increase absorption and bioavailability... However i bave had bad experiences with tolerating pepper, so personally I stick to pure circumin capsules.

I was taking a curcumin supplement last time I flared up. I have since stopped taking it, I assume it wasn't helping too much if I went into a massive flare up while taking it. I don't think it was hurting but I cut back on all supplements due to reduced income. I am now financially more stable but I haven't started anything except Vitamin D and B12. I don't think the B12 is helping with my ehaustion and I will probably discontinue it in a few weeks.
