Lots of different company's offering curcumin in capsule and powder form and lots of claims that theirs's is the best for many reasons.
Found this and would like your thoughts:
Nanocurcumin by (Planet One) available in capsule and powder form. It's organic and most importantly it's a nano size particle which has a MUCH smaller particle size than standard curcumin. It's claimed to be water soluble whereas standard curcumin is only fat soluble and supposedly only 3% actually gets into the blood stream even with the ones which have pepper added, whereas the nano curcumin is fully absorbed.
I also ran across a curcumin called Theracumin by (Intergrative)which is in the same category (nano particle size) ----------- only it's not available in powder form.
Looking for a curcumin that gets into the blood stream effectively to deal with cancer and although there's a lot of great info on curcumin for this application you find they have to take a ton of capsules per day in order to get enough in the blood stream to be affective.
I have used Theracurmin by Natural Factors. It is supposedly more absorbable than regular curcumin or curcurmin plus black pepper. I used it for general antioxidant support, not for any particular condition, so I can't really say if it worked or didn't work.
I use a combination of GMC turmeric curcumin,2x1000 per day.great product, helps with the nerve pain.
I also use it with a combination of boswellia, very promising combo for now.
Wondering what illnesses are good for my prescribed combo?
Rhumy doctor say he has read so much good news about it.
One wants to be careful, what brand of Tumeric they purchase. Some have been tested and they have found to have lead in them. Also, The FDA does not regulate vitamin supplements
I personally think Sports Research C3/pepper/coconut oil, Life Extensions new curcumin elite, or 1MDs longvida/boswellia are all good options to try.
I think it is worth mentioning that 2 of the best supplement companies, Thorne and Jarrow, went with the Meriva formula.
I recently did a bit of research when choosing my curcumin sup. I devoted some time to the Mervia version offered by my supplier, pure encapsulations, but I came to the conclusion it's no better than anything from big pharma. It's a human modified solution with the almighty dollar driving results. I'll add that my 'not better' statement does not pertain to absorption. The absorption is shown to be superior to anything else, and not just slightly.
Kind of like using red yeast rice vs. a statin. That was my take anyways.
I believe Mervia is better for inflammation/joint pain, I really only mentioned it because I consider Thorne and Jarrow two of the best companies.
Cancermind guy thinks you need Free Curcumin. Longvida or LEF new curcumin elite are probably your best bet.
The LEF is the more natural formulation and they think the addition of fenugreek prevents curcumin from metabolizing into the inactive forms. They have discontinued their successful bcm-95 in favor of this new formulation.
