Doctor's Best Curcumin From Turmeric Root with C3 Complex & BioPerine, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Joint Support, 1000 mg, 120 Tablets

This is a life saver for me…

I've been taking Doctor's Best Curcumin for about 3-4 years now. I started taking one 1000MG pill per day and now I take two, one after lunch and one before bed. I haven't touched a NSAID in for ever. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 11 years ago. I'm in my mid thirties now and it's been quite the ride. I've had corrective surgery on my hands to fix my ulnar deviation. Buttoning anything was a chore, forget opening anything...and while I was following a treatment I was still in pain from the damages my body incurred prior to being on a treatment. I usually purchase two bottles of 120 pills from amazon. This should last me about 4 months. I never allow it to run out because I feel pain when I don't take these supplements so I order 2 bottles every 3-4 months. Aside from controlling the pain I feel like I don't get sick as much...I can't remember the last time I had a flu or ended up sick while on these supplements. I've actually wanted to try cheaper versions of this (as I pay about 50 bucks per bottle) but I'm afraid to mess up a good thing. I tell everyone who have joint pain about curcumin and how much it's helped me. I did my research...intensively...prior to starting this regiment. I first learnt of Doctor's Best from a lady's case who beat cancer with curcumin (and perhaps something else but I can't recall)...she said she tried numerous brands and these worked the best for her. Prior to Dr's Best she made her own paste with turmeric powder. Do your research. Curcumin/turmeric isn't for everyone. People suffering from gallstones etc should stay away. Also, it's a natural blood thinner....so you shouldn't take it if you're already on blood thinners and in case of surgery, you need to stop the curcumin 2 weeks prior to your surgery. Hope this helps anyone on the fence about this product. If anyone has any questions just leave me a comment and I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities

Count your pills

Count your pills Great product BUT In the last 8 months my monthly order has been short 4 to 6 pills each in the bottles. Since I feel theses are expensive I want what I pay for. I also went online to the company directly today, so they are now aware of this issue. Perhaps this is just a mechanical error with a machine, or it is a fake supplier. I will update this review if I get any response

Unlike other cheaper brands, this one WORKS!

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis about a year ago. My pain level throughout my body was around 8-9 (and I have a high pain threshold). My CRP, which is a blood marker for inflammation was 35 (should be below 10) . I couldn't get an appointment with a Rheumatologist for 4 months so I decided to do a little research and see what was out there for natural pain relief. I read up on Curcumin and it sounded like just what I was looking for. I ordered this and began taking 3-4 capsules a day and although that helped, it wasn't enough so I kept increasing it until I was at 9 a day (3 capsules 3 times daily). It was like a miracle! The pain went down to around 2 and I've been doing great. I added Boswellia capsules along the way also and I think the combination are even more beneficial. Recently, I decided to try and find a cheaper brand of 1,000 mg capsules because at 9 a day, this brand was getting expensive. Puritans Pride offered 1,000 mg capsules for MUCH less and seemed to be comparable ingredient wise, so I switched. Bottom line? One bottle in and my pain has returned BIG TIME! The only change I've made in my regimen is the Puritan's Pride curcurmin. Needless to say I've sent back the unused bottles and reordered my Dr's Best Curcumin. I wish it was cheaper but what the heck...I'm worth the one that works

So pleased

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 16 months ago and began taking 500 mgs of doctor's best curcumin immediately. PSA levels came down and stayed down but decided to take doctor's best curcumin 1000mg twice a day and when it came time for my next biopsy they could not find any cancer in any of the 12 punch biopsy's taken. I am extremely pleased with this product and will continue with it indefinitely. It has worked for me

A Total Substitute for Aspirin

I've been using this for a year now and no longer have to take aspirin for arthritis pain in my hands. My doctor said I'd need to quit gardening to stop the degeneration from the osteoarthritis and I said no. Curcumin lets me keep working without having to worry about the cumulative effects of aspirin. I chose this brand over others based on the recommendations of Consumer Lab (google it). Consumer Lab reviews the research on Curcumin and give the criteria for it's ratings. We just started using it with a young grandson who has spondylitis. He said he can't tell any difference but it's better than the hydrocodone they prescribed. Addendum: I went without the curcumin for 10 days over Christmas and my hands got so tender I couldn't even cut my food. The pain stopped within 24 hours of restarting and I'm only taking one a day

One of top rated by ConsumerLab

I've been taking this for more than a year. ConsumerLab just released a review of Curcumin products and rated this as one of best. It contains 1, 054 total curcuminoid value, one of the highest, no heavy metals, and breaks up in stomach for easy absorbancy. Must take with fat, so best with a meal containing fat/oil. Since it has a short half life, it's best to break the tablet in 2 and take 1/2 with meals during the day. You must be careful to not take more than recommended by the company, as problems have been reported. I'm a subscriber to ConsumerLab and find it invaluable for supplement information, recalls, and Covid-19 masks and information

Be cautious, this dosage caused liver enzymes to spike FAST

I got this for pain relief and it made a difference, and I liked it. 30days in and just starting my second bottle, I get blood work done and liver enzymes are WAY TOO HIGH. Stopped taking and blood work was fine 30 days later. Looked into turmeric and learned it had great anti inflammatory properties, but a small population can be impacted by turmeric and it can lead to liver damage if not caught early. I was thankful my dr was on point with testing and we determined this was not for me. I would have never known on my own. I was happy as a lark with its pain relief. Check with your dr when you start taking turmeric. Get blood work before and after 30days, and if it's ok? Great! If not, you'll know right away and be safe

BEST CURCUMIN HELPS WITH NEUROPATHY SYMPTOMS

I have peripheral neuropathy. It has caused a significant weakness in my left food; I walk slow and flat footed. I have been taking Best Curcumin for more than a year but it hadn't helped with the weak foot. By chance I took aspirin for a few days while also taking the curcumin supplement. The weakness in my foot improved 80 to 90% while taking the curcumin/aspirin combination. During a visit to a rheumatologist I was told to take Aleve as an anti inflammatory instead of aspirin; the Aleve/curcumin combination didn't help at all; my foot became weak again. I found information that aspirin helps curcumin enter the blood stream. So, it appears that Best Curcumin, with the help of aspirin, significantly serves as an anti inflammatory preventing damaging effects of the neuropathy. I view this as an incredibly positive finding

Amazing Product!

My oldest daughter started early preschool last year and during the worst cold/flu season in years. Parents have warned me about the first year of school, but I seriously was not prepared! I've worked over ten years in a hospital.... doesn't come close to comparing to ten minutes in a daycare! Never ending colds, snotty noses, congestion, etc etc. My immune system was being tested non-stop. I finally ordered a bottle of Curcumin and I feel better than I have in months! No more borderline feeling like my body is fighting “something”! I've also noticed my chronic lower back pain has improved as well! The only drawback is that if you have a sensitive stomach, I would try the 500mg first. I ordered the 1000mg and it took me a couple days to adjust
