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 like Andrew Lessman and he just had a special yesterday.

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.
