Curcumin is an active component of the turmeric spice and part of what gives turmeric its yellow hue. While many people may not like the spice, getting a turmeric or curcumin supplement provides a good solution for being able to reap the health benefits of this product.
One of the stated benefits of turmeric/curcumin is that that it helps relieve joint pain and many use it for this purpose.
The benefits of using turmeric are as an anti-inflammatory and an antioxidant. I use it as an antioxidant. Personal results may vary from individual to individual.
The brand name is Herba. The product is "Prepared in Canada".
You get 180 capsules. Each capsule has 400 mg. of turmeric (curcuma longa). The bioavailability (absorption) is not good in the supplement itself and thankfully, this product adds black pepper to increase its bioavailability.
Being a health food supplement, it is very hard to evaluate its merits but as an antioxidant, I consider a higher dose to be more of a benefit. This product boasts a 10:1 ratio making it equivalent 4000 mg. of dry herb.
The capsules are of average supplement size. The container does not present with a strong odour, just a lightly discernible scented turmeric spice smell.
The recommended dose is two capsules once a day. The product has an expiry date and also carries an NPN number.
What is unique about this supplement is that it is a turmeric and ginger combination. This ginger (75 mg. per capsule) boasts a 20:1 ratio making it equivalent to 1500 mg. of dry herb.
The turmeric and ginger combination makes this a potent mixture and its benefits are enhanced by the addition of the black pepper for body absorption. I would recommend this product.
