Hi there. I just received my supplements and it seems they simply contain turmeric rather than isolated curcumin. Is this true?

Yes, it doesn't contain curcuminoids. You should look for a supplement that has the c3 complex in it, as it has 95% curcuminoids.

It states on the bottle that turmeric comes from the rhizome of the Curcuma longo plant. I am assuming the curcumin is in the capsules as it is part of the same plant, and to advertise the ingredient on the bottle without it being IN there would be illegal. The product WORKS...that is what I am concerned about.

I have Dr. Danlelle's Turmeric Curcumin with BioPeinee. I'm not sure what you mean by "isolated". Mine just saysturmeric (curcumin) 500 Mg. I do hope this helps.

Yep, I didn't get the one with the glucosamine, MSM, curcumin, etc., and that is the one that I wanted. I have ordered a bottle in the past and got the correct one, but this time they sent another formula. Not sure if I should return it or not. Did you receive the correct one?

Please go to the Swanson website, search for the product. The ingredients can be found there. There's not much else to it other than turmeric.

You are right. Jarrow has changed the formulation of the Ultra Bone-Up. I called and spoke to a representative who stated that the glucosamine, MSM and curcumin amounts were not therapeutic amounts and therefore have been removed for other ingredients. I suggest you call also to get a better understanding. I now take a separate glucosamine, MSM and condroitin pill.

Hi Chris, We apologize if you are unclear of our nutrition facts. The 500mg represents turmeric root, which is standardized to greater than 95% curcuminoids, the active ingredient in turmeric. 5mg of Bioperine is added to our formula as a synergistic component which is clinically shown to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin by 2,000%. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.

I think it is just a typo. As far as I know, this is just me, there is just Turmeric.

The only problem with this particular Turmeric item is that it doesnt contain "Bioperin" which is very important for maximum absorption of the Turmeric/Curcumin......I have been taking it for a year & now I realize that this is a very important ingredient necessary for maximum absorption of the Turmeric.......I will be switching to Doctor Danielle's or Naturally Holistic's brand ASAP

I don't know if 4% curcumin is typical, but I do know that I like Frontier's Turmeric. It's fair trade, organic and best of all, the flavor is fresh, not bitter or old tasting. I take a tsp/day in a vegetable juice for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Having tried other brands, I rate Frontier the best.

They may have been left out in the sun or temps changed drastically. I would ask for an exchange. I have never had a problem with any supplements on amazon.

Turmeric contains less than 5% curcumin, which is the therapeutic chemical in turmeric. This product won't do anything except provide a placebo effect. Look for real curcumin supplements from reputable companies. Most reviews on this product are fake.

Unusually, the label does not mention mgs or ius of the softgels. I do use the product regularly, nut another Health website has said that their product , heavy in curcumin, is better.

Hope this helps.... The average curcumin content of turmeric is approximately 3% (by weight).Answer by: Starwest Staff on January 05, 2015

All raw turmeric is going to contain lead at some very small level (ie: parts per million) - the question should be, is there an unsafe amount? Starwest tests for heavy metals (you can see it listed here under laboratory analysis - http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/quality-control.html), so you should be fine, but I bet you can get more detailed information by contacting them directly.

Luke, I suggest to research in depth this product to find a satisfying answer. Unfortunately, I did not bookmark the websites during my research that convinced me to buy this product; however, here is one to start with http://www.longvida.com/Questions-to-Ask-about-Curcumin.html.

Hello Marissa, Turmeric Curcumin extract is gluten free and the capsules are allergen free including gluten free. The capsules are Capsugel Vegetarian capsules which you can read more about here: http://capsugel.com/en/products-services/applications/vegetarian-capsules/

This curcumin comes in capsule form (think gelatin capsule). As far as I know, only pills in tablet form come with enteric coatings.
