Natural FactorsCurcuminRich Theracurmin, 30 mg, Formulated for Superior Absorption, 30 Count (Pack of 1)

These work for pain and inflammation much better than turmeric and ginger. I LIKE that they do NOT contain black pepper, as that can be added individually if you require it - I don't . Overall a really good product.

The product is actually made by Natural Factors and most of their products are pharmaceutical grade as well as tested for impurities. Theracurmin is the most bioavailable form of curcumin as well so why I have bought it multiple times.

After my mother passed away I sank into a deep depression, and could barely get out of bed for 2 weeks. My husband estimated that I was functioning at about 10% of normal. A friend of mine told me that studies had shown that Theracurmin as as powerful as Prozac at helping with depression. I was skeptical, but I asked my husband to go to the local health food store and buy me a bottle. I took one 30mg capsule per day... and on the THIRD day I felt enough relief to get dressed and go out with my family to a Christmas tree lighting ceremony... without any emotional breakdowns or anxiety attacks. Each day after that I felt better and better. After a couple of months, I got lazy and started forgetting to take the Theracurmin daily. My family would notice the difference in my mood and ask me if I'd forgotten to take it... and their suspicions were always right.I encouraged my teenage step-daughter to start taking it because she was struggling and her bad attitude made everyone in the house miserable. On the days she took it, the difference in her demeanor was AMAZING! I remember saying to my husband.... if only we could put this stuff in the water! If everyone on earth took this there would be world peace.That was two and half years ago. I still take it regularly. Not for depression or irritability anymore, but for the many other health benefits it's anti-inflammatory properties offer.

I started using this supplement to relieve muscle, joint aches and pains due to arthritis. It has helped somewhat in that regard, but not dramatically. What has been dramatic are the results of a recent lipid panel. After two months of use my bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels are lower than they've ever been in my life, and my good cholesterol was very very good. For the first time ever my levels were all better than the average ranges. I haven't changed meds, my diet, or exercise (or lack thereof). Even better than several years ago when I had lost 68 pounds and worked out 4 hours a week. I can't wait to see my doctor this week to tell her about Theracurmin from Natural Factors. This result was quite unexpected and very welcome. My heart and I thank you!

This is my second bottle. I have always had stomach problems when trying to take curcumin, but not with this. I used to take two Tylenols 1000mg total a day for maintenance but stopped those when I started to take this. Have not needed since. I highly recommend for aches and pains.

Helps me a lot with muscle recovery and foot pain.

I love this curcumin. I find that it helps me with various health issues I have, most especially Crohn's and other digestive issues, joint pain and pain from Dupuytren's (my nodules and cords cause me pain, unlike most people), and I think it also helps me with liver and gallbladder issues. I cannot say for sure yet if the Dupuytren's has reversed or even been halted, but I do suspect that it has had some impact on at least arresting its development.The mg dosage/ strength may appear lower than some brands, but much like in looking at colloidal silver where not necessarily the higher ppm in silver is better, but the smaller the size of the colloidal molecule (more surface area) the more absorbable and bio-available it is, and this product is much the same.I do mix this with bioperine to aid in even more absorption (especially due to digestive issues), and recommend you think of the same, especially if you suffer from any digestive issues.

No pepper in it to help absorb.
