Hi @nana59

I use tumeric from a couple different sources. I like and trust Whole Foods spices as high quality. Same with their vitamins.

In addition to the tumeric spice, I also use a powder chai tea mix that has tumeric in it. It's by Numi. What I like about the mix is, it has black pepper in it. Which is supposed to help with the absorption of the tumeric.

How do you plan to use it? I know there are a lot of teas on the market. I tried them but did not like the taste. I usually just add it as a spice and that is more palitable to me.

i bought some on Prime day by Schwartz. Tumeric Curumin with bioperine. I wanted it for general aches in knees and ankles. 3 per day and i noticed relief on the third day. They aren't cheap but do the job. i will probably look for less expensive ones, next.

Turmeric works for me but not just any turmeric. I look for one with 100% curcumin extract (standardized to 95% purity) + black pepper added to it for absorption in the gut. Be sure to read the label carefully. If you see 'blends', 'blended with' or 'proprietary' that's a good indication the supp contains a mixture of turmeric spice root powder (cheap stuff) and extract (expensive stuff) which would be reflected in the lower price. Pure extract is what you want b/c that contains the active component (curcumin or curcuminoid) which is what gives us relief from pain/inflammation. Recommended amount is approx 1500 mg daily, usually divided into 2 or 3 doses taken with food.

Some people say that turmeric never worked for them. That might be b/c they weren't taking the extract but rather the root powder. Another reason why some say it doesn't work could be b/c their dose was too low. Dosage is important.

Currently I am taking this one from amazon. The price is outstanding for what you are getting here.

@SilleeMee Your advice is so excellent. I often see where someone says vitamins don’t work and are a waste of money. Maybe. But I believe the *right* vitamin in the right amount can make such a difference.

I gave my husband a quality turmeric and it helped with a joint pain he was having. When he ran out he picked up a lesser quality and very quickly noticed the difference, and it wasn’t good. Now he’s back on the better one. It does matter.

I just want those who want help to be able to get it.

I've seen that Pure brand turmeric at $23 per bottle earlier this year. Luckily I didn't need it at that time. I had stocked up a short time before the price went up that high.

I bought 2 about 2 months ago when they had it on Amazon for about 13.50 with extra 20% off with Prime. But I may get another bottle now, my hubby takes it also. Their prices go up and down like a seesaw !!!

I have Andrew's Turmeric. I've been taking two a day. The Mayo Clinic has high recommendations in their newsletter,

I was using Tumeric spice powder, before I got AL's. Supposedly, the spice does not absorb w/o some other vitamins which AL has.Good things about joints and memory in Mayo's newsletter..
