Tumeric

springers — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 21:30:27 GMT

I have been buying the liquid from Costco, I see they offer tablets (same brand). Does anyone who have taken both have a preference?

My husband and I notice a difference when we are taking this.

@springers What benefit does tumeric provide?

@springers

I think anything liquid absorbs faster. (I take capsules, but always sprinkle it on my green salad.)

May I ask what brand of liquid you take? I didn't know there was liquid turmeric.

eta: Is there a Costco brand?

I've tried it for joint health. Honestly, can't say there has been a noticeable difference. However, I'd encourage you to try both varieties and decide for yourself.

Wish I could have taken it. Had to give it up. It does have some promising reports.

However, I've never taken a supplement in my life that gave me such heartburn, and I rarely have such issues.

Qunol is the brand. They run discounts but it's pricey so I didn't want to buy tablets if people noticed difference. I know the advertising stating better absorption from liquid, then I thought why sell in tablet. We have noticed it helped. I posted my aches on another thread and I realized I stopped back in Feb.

I took a turmeric supplement for about a year for the beginnings of arthritic pain in my knees. My pain disappeared. Stopped taking it about 4 months ago, and so far the pain hasn't returned.

I bought mine from Piping Rock online. It was not expensive.

@springers I take turmeric capsules from Costco also, but I purchase the TruNature brand. It's a litte less expensive than the Qunol brand. I've been taking it for several years and it really helps. I also send it to my 87 year old dad and he loves it.

@Boomernichols here are the benefits of Tumeric

SilleeMee — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 22:47:39 GMT

You'll benefit the most from taking the extract form of turmeric. That component is called curcuminoid. The standard concentration is 95%. It will absorb better in the presence of black pepper (piperine) usually combined together into a capsule. A good quality turmeric supp usually contains higher amounts of the extract and is reflected in the higher price point. You want this extract because that is the most bioavailable form of turmeric which will give you the most benefits while taking a minimal amount of it compared to just plain turmeric.

If you have not had a positive experience from taking turmeric then the reason may be because your supp does not contain enough extract. There's a world of a difference between versions of turmeric supps out there.

Silee Mae The Qunol does contain pepper. I remember reading that. So much to know today.
Thanks for recommending Tru Nature I will look into it.

Sille, remember last year you and I went thru all of this about turmeric, when I explained it to you about the percentage of curcumin. You then switched from Piping Rock to Vitacost, a lot more money but a lot better product. You still buying the one from Vitacost, I still do.

Hey! @Shelbelle

Yes I remember that well. I am on my second big bottle of the Vitacost brand. I told some of my friends about the Vitacost, too, and they are taking it now. It's really good stuff. Thank you so much for recommending it. I was going to give you a shout out here but you beat me to it...lol! Oh and btw I just started taking the Trunature Verisol collagen after seeing your rec here a while back. I'm anxious to see how it works out for me...fingers crossed.

eta- Lindberg Verisol powder is on sale now at PipingRock...the big size $15.

I give our Golden Retriever Curcumin. (Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.) The type I bought for her is Dr. Mercola. The jar says, "Supports a normal immune response." I read a lot about it before I bought it for her. She's SO worth it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hello @springers

I take Andrew Lessman's Turmeric, but I also add a 1/4 teaspoon of it to my morning cuppa Joe and a pinch of ground black pepper for best absorbtion.

I thought I'd have to choke it down, but to my surprise it tastes great.

My Java is sweetener free, but I do add half n half to make it palatable.

Back in the day I used to add a teaspoon of black strap molasses to coffee, but I gave it up (for now).

A friend of mine who's a retired doctor suggested it for arthritis - she takes it herself - and bought me a bottle of the powder form that she uses. We have "matching" arthritis issues! She mixes it with fruit juice.

I prefer to use it as a "spice" when cooking rather than taking it "straight." I make a lot of curry, and add tumeric to some of my potato/egg breakfast/brunch dishes.

Sillie, we have so much in common, I stil take the Verisol tablets daily, either Puritans Pride brand or TruNature which is Costco's brand, which is caps, so easier to get them down, but I also recently got the Lindberg from PR tablets, half price so I did buy a 6 month supply of them. I complained to PR that the ingredeint deck on the laberl did not match their website, it has now been corrected.

I have to watch how much turmeric(curcumin) I take. Too much can inhibit the effectiveness of the tamoxifin I take from breast cancer I had. but having said that, I take a joint supplement that has a few hundred mg and not the thousands of mg that the studies have said weren't good. I eat things with turmeric in it as well. Doesn't give me any upsets at all. I take it in capsule or tablet form.

@Shelbelle

I know this thread is a couple of months old but I needed to ask you about the Vitacost turmeric. Have you tried to find it lately? I can't find it and I emailed them to ask them about what happened to it? Do you know anything?

ETA - I've emailed them twice already and have not heard back.
