I hear that turmeric has a lot of health advantages and would like to start taking it. What brand do you consider to be the best?

I take Qunol.

I take Cooper Complete Turmeric Curcumin Complex Supplement. They are not capsules but instead are tightly pressed tablets.

If you are on meds, check if this agrees with what you may be taking. Doesn't work well with blood thinners and some other drugs.

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.

@Sapphiregal Another vote here for Andrew Lessman.  Look up the item on HSN and read about it, lots of info there.   I have arthritis in my lower back and take his Turmeric daily with a multivitamin (his brand too, of course).  Good luck.
