Turmeric and curcumin - reasons to take

I'll add my own anecdote: Terry Naturally CuraPro Optimum is what my body responds best to, at 650mg once when I wake and once before bed. It takes a week or so to build up for me, but this brand and this dose has made an outstanding difference in my Endometriosis / Adenomyosis pain. I've tried turmeric, but for my needs, it has no effect. Same with curcumin at doses less than 600mg. 650-700 are the sweet spot for me, and doubling it to twice a day made even more difference.
 
This is Something Ive added in the past year that I feel works. I use the Life extension super bio cumin, which is made from bcm-95, the same as what msRH reccomended. I feel bcm-95 is the best absorbed, bioperine also helps alot with tumeric/ curcumin with absorption.
 
if you want to go the cheapest route - buy a bag of turmeric, take a tablespoon, mix in black pepper corns (at least 10), and a 1/2 to 1 table spoon of olive oil. Make a ball and swallow it down. Caps of curcumin are expensive and if you can afford it, I would do both but the former is cheap.

no, it doesn't bother me in the least. It isn't exactly tasty but I don't mind it.
