Turmeric Curcumin with Black Pepper Extract 1500mg - High Absorption Ultra Potent Turmeric Supplement with 95 Curcuminoids and

A) this really does work-FAST- for pain and inflammation. B) I read somewhere that "inflammation is decay." So even if you can stand the pain of whatever it is you're dealing with, you can't just sit there and let inflammation rot your body from inside. Here's your answer. C) I had zero side effects, no stomach upset etc. D) I did my graduate work in complementary medicine which tends to make me very skeptical. I'm not going to say something works if it doesn't. I've taken turmeric before and it did nothing but the dirty little secret is that a lot of supplements are just garbage. But this brand seems to be very high quality. I chose Bioschwartz because I had good luck with their mushroom supplement. Moral of the story: for this price point, there is no reason NOT to try this product if you are dealing with pain/inflammation/joint issues. I purchased because of a small rotator cuff tear which I wanted to nip in the bud. After I took the first capsule the pain was completely gone so then I cleverly went and tweaked it again because I thought it was healed. Needless to say, this product works best when you REST the affected area. Read more

Turmeric is one of the best herbs of all time. I'm fascinated by herbs and read a lot about them in my free time....and I would say if I had to just pick 2-3 herbs to take (I take like 10 daily.....haha), this would be one of them. I'm including it's benefits below: 1. To start, it prevents blood clotting. Unfortunately, blood clotting becomes common as people age. Doctors will tell you to remedy this by popping a daily aspirin. Don't do it. Aspirin is horrible and does more harm than good to the body when used for a while. Instead, take turmeric. It's just as powerful, if not more so, without the side effects. 2. It's an antidepressant. Studies show it is just as effective as Prozac, but again, without all the nasty side effects. 3. It contains curcumin, one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in the world. The effects of having chronic inflammation in the body are serious - cancer, arthritis, and chronic pain are just a few. Turmeric keeps the inflammation at bay, warding off the potential for serious diseases. 4. It's amazing for arthritis. Since it's an anti-inflammatory, it is one of the most powerful herbs you can take to relieve arthritis. 5. Perhaps my favorite benefit - it's a cancer treatment. These days more and more people are getting cancer. The sad thing is, it's not surprising with all the crap put into the food supply (antibiotics, steroids, bpa), but that rant is for another day. One of the best things you can do is to take turmeric daily as a cancer preventative. It has the ability to kill cancer cells and prevent them from growing. 6. It's amazing for diabetes. It lowers blood sugar and reverses insulin resistance. 7. It's a gastrointestinal treatment. Any time you take antibiotics, your gut flora will become unbalanced...causing a whole host of other problems. Turmeric helps heal the gut and supports the growth of good bacteria (probiotics). 8. It's a cholesterol regulator. A study done by Drugs in R & D found that curcumin was equal or more effective than diabetes medications at reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the treatment of high cholesterol. 9. It's a natural painkiller. 10. It can be used in replacement of steroids. There are many conditions out there treated by steroids - psoriasis, Lupus, arthritis, inflammation in the eye, and chronic pain to name a few. The issue is that steroids have A LOT of negative side effects - Acne, asthma, cancer, cataracts, diabetes, delayed wound healing, insomnia, kidney and thyroid malfunction, and I can go on and on. Maybe one problem will be solved with steroid use, but at what cost? It's better to try turmeric at least for a few months to see if it relieves the issue instead. 11. Anti aging and improved brain function. Curcumin happens to be a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals. It also boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain. 12. Preventing Alzheimer's disease. It is known that inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. As we know, curcumin has beneficial effects on both. 13. Weight management. Curcumin in turmeric can fasten to capsaicin receptors and increase thermogenesis rates. This leads to greater fat burning and helps with weight loss. Adipose tissues which store fat cells require angiogenesis to provide the required nutrients and oxygen to adipocytes (fat cells), curcumin is said to have anti-angiogenic properties that could reduce fat mass and inhibit fat tissue growth therefore leading to weight loss. I mean c'mon guys! Is this not a miracle herb? The benefits are pretty amazing. One thing to note is that Turmeric should be taken with bioperine (black pepper extract) for maximum absorption. This is why I personally love this brand. It comes with the bioperine already in the formula. I just got my mom to start taking this supplement about a month and a half ago....and so far she says that she feels that she has more mental clarity and is remembering more details that she would have typically never remembered a few months ago. Even if you are healthy as can be, I still recommend taking it for preventative measures....because why not? If it can save a potential future trip to the doctor, it's totally worth it in my opinion! *Disclaimer: I bought this turmeric supplement with my own money. This product was not gifted, sponsored, or anything of that nature. Read more

I’ve been taking this Turmeric Curcumin with Black Pepper Extract 1500 mg supplement for a few weeks, and overall I’m pleased with it. The high-strength 95% curcuminoids and added BioPerine black pepper extract seem to help with absorption, and I’ve noticed gentle support in my joints and overall inflammation without any stomach upset. The capsules are easy to swallow, and the Non-GMO label is a plus for me. I didn’t feel an instant dramatic difference, but over time I’ve noticed less stiffness after activity, which is exactly what I was hoping for. If you want a well-formulated turmeric supplement with good absorption, this is a solid choice. I’d give it 4 stars because the effects are helpful but not super strong right away — more like steady, subtle support. Read more
