Anyone ever try turmeric (the spice) with pepper? Was told it was easiest/cheapest way to get pure turmeric benefits for arthritis.

That might be true but how many of us are willing and able to eat it everyday and in an amount that will benefit the body?

Seems like I recall reading somewhere that it's not a very effective method for getting a decent measured dose having good absorption capabilities. Also seems like I recall reading something about the spice not being as pure, and thus not as potent.

I was told by my doctor that using the OTC spice daily would not give me the high dosage I'd need to get the pain relief for my joints. My doctor stated to use 1000mg of turmeric extract.

The NOW Curcumin was recommended to me by a reputable vitamin store and also by my doctor for inflammation due to osteoarthritis. It is 95% and 665 mg. In 1 and 1/2 weeks all stiffness was gone and when I had the blood test 2 weeks later - had no inflammation. I wouldn't be without it. Hope this helps.

Howard, I have used this product for several years primarily as a Calcium supplement for osteoporosis prevention. Fortunately I have never had joint pain so I can't really help you with a comparison to other products since I've not ever used any others. I use Cod liver oil and Emergen-C also which also would help with joint pain (if I had it) and may be the reason why I've never had joint pain. I also work out at the gym 3x a week. Sorry I can't help with a more productive response.

I too have arthritis, but not so much in the hands...as another comment says, it depends on how much is in the pot!

Possibly.. I can say for certain that since I've been taking curcumin, back pain from osteoarthritis has resolved. No ibuprofen or any other nsaids. Always check with your doctor when adding supplements in case there are any drug interactions.

It is a potent antioxidant. Research turmeric and bioperene black pepper extract.

I bought them because I've been reading about natural remedies for some health problems and several sources say eating ground up sesame seeds can be good for arthritis, which I have in my knee. I haven't tried it yet but the same information showed up on several reliable sources so I'm optimistic. Plus, I love sesame seeds and I suspect several will end up on home baked breads, toasted to put on grilled fish, etc. I buy a lot of bulk things like these seeds, pine nuts, etc. from Amazon and they are always very good. I hope this is helpful. PS - if you google recipes with sesame seeds you'll find thousands.

No I do not believe this product has any curcumin, but it does have two different kinds of tumeric extract. This product has worked very well for helping my inflamation from arthritis. I hope if you decide to take this product it will also help you.

I may not be the best case for evaluating the oil. I suffer from arthritis and am always looking for something to relieve my symptoms. I am trying to get back into golf after right hip replacement but seem to aching all over now. I cannot afford to invest in unproven supplements and need to avoid the high cost ones like Ruby oil.

Turmeric is also known as curcumin. It's in curry and considered to be an anti-inflammatory.

It's not a miracle but it does seem to help. I mostly use it for my dog who has a leg injury. The optimum cocktail is the RDA of glucosamine, chondrointin, MSM and about 1/2 teaspoon turmeric daily. Do not use in place of food, but along with.I am not a medical professional so please verify this with one prior to use.

Turmeric root contains curcumin. If you are looking for the health benefits of curcumin, the root should be cooked or try a dissolution in oil to increase the bioavailability. It is also thought that mixing black pepper with the turmeric increases the bioavailability of the curcumin.

The first two months you need to take 2-3 capsules a day, after that one capsule a day should work. Great supplement for me, my arthritis is much better

I took the bottle to my doctor before I started taking it. He said he didn't (couldn't) guarantee that it would work, but there was nothing in it that would hurt me or not "play nicely" with my other medications. Both my husband and I take and we noticed a difference in our achy joints and back.
