    I take Thorne Research Meriva Curcumin, 2 caps twice per day, for about 5 years. When I run out my arthritis pain starts back up. I saw my CRP ( C Reactive Protein), a marker of Inflammation in the body, go markedly down.

    I know that inflammation drives cancer and many other illnesses.


    I buy it from Emerson Ecologics. Expensive.

    I use turmeric in food form. I use one teaspoon per day and usually mix it into my salad dressing.

    I take Thorne Meriva Curcumin, 2 caps twice per day. Can not be comfortable without it due to arthritis pain. In the past I ran out of money, and couldn't afford to buy it. Then pain came back, got scared until I realized I was off the Curcumin for a couple of weeks. Then I broke into my Retirement money so I could go back on the Curcumin. Now I never skip it, no matter what.

    One other thing to note about turmeric or curcumin is that a form that is hydro-soluble or a form that contains a black pepper extract absorbs better.

    That is so true. I am on the Meriva form of Curcumin, which is especially formulated to more absorbable.
