make me giggleAre you the real Vlad? if so - I am a real fan of your work
Is it tumeric or corcmin that's "the good stuff"?
Any general recs about daily doses, if it needs to be combined with other stuff to aid absorption, etc.
There's a lot of products and info out there and it's confusing!
Curcumin is the more active ingredient in turmeric that is quoted in much of the literature. But I would have to think that there are many other chemicals/alkaloids found in turmeric that are healthy and have not been really studied yet.
So buy a tumeric product rather than the curcumin ones?
Thanks.
That is a personnel choice. You will need a larger dose of turmeric to get the same amount of curcumin, then if you just took a dose of curcumin. That is what I do.I am guessing their may be other polyphenols etc. in turmeric and would be getting the benifits of things that haven't been studied yet.
On a serious note,,, I have read that turmeric is an amazing super supplement... I have fibroids which suck.. and are benign tumors....so I tried turmeric and after about a month smelt it coming through my pores!!!! Soooo I stopped taking it! It was a valid enough reason.. and thankfully I returned to my normal nice smelling self...
I drink 5 grams curcummin spice with a black pepper pill/vegetable powder every morning. Then 500 mg curcumin extract (nature's way) with another black pepper pill.
Any feedback on Puritan pride brand?
I've used LEF Super Bio Curcumin for 3 yrs now....been using Meriva Phytosome(Jarrow,Doctor's Best) for the last several months but don't notice a difference. This is interesting though and I posted it a few weeks ago..

A lot of these studies seem contradictory. For example, the bioperine (piperine) study talks about 2000% increase in bioavailability compared to curcumin alone, then the BCM-95 study says it's 6.93x more bioavailable compared to curcumin alone but somehow also 6.3x more bioavailable compared to curcumin+piperine.
So either they're interpreting data differently (e.g. using area under the curve vs peak concentration or some other method) or the formulations are different because in the BCM-95 study the curcumin alone had almost the same bioavailability as the curcumin+piperine
Meanwhile, the Meriva study says the demethoxycurcumin is what is actually elevated rather than curcumin, and that its "a more potent analogue in many in vitro anti-inflammatory assays. " yet above in the article it mentions this is largely inert. And the article specifically says " plasma concentrations were still significantly lower than those required for the inhibition of most anti-inflammatory targets of curcumin."
Anyone using an injectable curcumin?
