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]

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.
