Harry, were you taking pure turmeric capsules, or curcumin? Just curious. I think the curcumin helps me anyway. That and the glucosamine/chondtoitin/MSM.
Smoke, The tablets I was taking were a GNC product, which was labeled as 1000mg of Turmeric Curcumin: Tumeric 1053mg of which 95% was Curcumin or 1000mg Curcumin....Along with Black Pepper fruit extract: 10mg black pepper...The black pepper is supposed to allow the Tumeric to be more readily absorbed.
What I'm now taking is Tumeric powder from India....The package says nothing about mg per ounce, teaspoon, etc, etc...Indian friend of mine got it for me. I'm pretty sure you can get it at Walmart or Costco. For whatever reason it works significantly better than the tablets.... (corrected to tabs).
