I do not take any medications, I've been taking Curcumin for the past 3 weeks for arthritic knee pain. I has found great relief and increased mobility.I think the effects of Aspirin and Curcumin are similar therefore the chances of intestinal bleeding. My best advise in this matter is to check with your physician for possible side effects

  I would recommend seeking the advice of a practitioner who specializes in alternative medicine modalities. A good acupuncturist perhaps. they have exceptional knowledge about "non prescription" holistic choices.

  Hi, Barbara. According to a May 2013 clinical study on turmeric and curcumin by the University of Maryland, the recommended dosage for adults is 400-600 mg 3 times per day.

  Since curcumin is a common ingredient in Indian food, I don't know that is an amount that is too much. However, you might want to consult with an MD experienced in natural/alternative remedies to determine which ones might help you best. Be aware that curcumin by itself is hard to absorb, so it's best taken with oily food and black pepper, I believe. Other products, such as ZyflaMend, are also targeted at inflammation and might be worth considering in addition to or instead of curcumin.

  Sorry, I don't know that. Dr. Oz said nothing about quantity--just to include it in your diet.

  My acupuncturist and my arthritis doctor recommend 500 mg 2X per day.

  I don't know if it's good for depression, but it's definitely safe to take. As the main ingredient in the spice curry, millions of people take curcumin as a dietary staple every day. There have been no reported cases of overdose, ever. A May 2013 study by the University of Maryland suggests 400-600 mg 3 times per day for adults. No pediatric clinical studies have been done. Curcumin may cause heartburn at first, so I'd suggest starting out with a low dose and increase it slowly. For myself, it took about 3 weeks to adjust to each 500 mg increase.

  I do not know if this product is good for children. I do know that it is very helpful for inflammation.

  Probably better to look it up on wikipedia, but is is probably one of the most powerful derivitives from Turmeric

  It helps the joints to function better.

  Memory enhancement.

  It's great fro reducing inflammation and pain relief all natural, so you do not over does on asprin, Tylenol, Aleive Advil products.

  I can't answer your specific question. An herbalist recommended it for joint health. Tumeric, it's other name, is an ingredient in Indian cooking and I suspect it aids my digestion as well.

  I have all the same issues you have described and have had NO relief from any of them. After 9 months on Curcumin I will not be buying it again as it has done nothing of benefit for me.

  Doctors have not been able to identify the cause of my hip pain so I thought I would try this product. It did not help, but I don't know the nature of the pain I have.

  I did take curcumin for nerve pain but I can not say positively that it helped. I think I needed a higher dose.

  Supplement Facts on the vitamin shoppe website do not indicate piperine is contained in this product.
It is my understanding that turmeric supplements without pepper are not easily absorbed. The brand I take now does have piperine in it.

  Jarrow Curcumin 95 doesn’t contain peperine, and I believe it has some benefits in taking it alone, but taking addtl supplement of peperine is said to improve absorption.

  I probably heard on Peoples Pharmacy that the -95 makes the Curcumin more effective. Now I've moved on to Turmeric with Meriva from Source Naturals.

  My research has indicated that curcumin is excellent for the brain and the heart. It is also considered an anti-inflammatory agent and a natural pain reliever among the fairly long list of other benefits.

  I have found no benefit from taking Curcumin. I was taking it for inflammation for over a year but no relief or any other benefits. Save your money.

  It's good for so many things, it supports healthy liver function, detoxes the liver, assists in making your immune system stronger and healthier

  I take it for 2 reasons...first is it is a natural antioxidant. Second, it relieves joint pain from my workouts...particularly in my knees.

  thank u for ur help

  My bottle is gone now so I don't know. But ingredients are listed on Vitamin Shoppe website and you can see them before you order it.

  I don't know. But it certainly helps reduce joint pain.

  I do not see BCM-95 written in the ingredients.
