YOU TAKE THIS and NOT just Turmeric spice! And you must take ENOUGH to get the immediate (WITHIN ONE DAY) PAIN and inflammation relief. This works because it is 450mg of concentrated CURCUMIN EXTRACT (the active ingredient) per tablet, many other brands cheap out and only put 50 mg per tablet, which isn't enough to get real relief, because other brands fill the tablet with worthless Turmeric root and very little concentrated curcumin extract, the real medicine in Turmeric. This brand IS SAFER because it DOES NOT HAVE BIOPERINE!
BEWARE of other brands that have BIOPERINE! Sure, bioperine will cause meds to be absorbed more readily, but it makes ALL your OTHER meds, NOT JUST THE TURMERIC, be absorbed into your blood more readily TOO. You risk the bioperine causing your OTHER MEDS TO be absorbed much more than usual which risks having an overdose of your OTHER MEDS Because bioperine causing your other meds to be as if you took double doses!
I DON'T NEED OTHER PAIN MEDS when I take this brand of Turmeric, that has 450mg of 95% Curcumin extract per tablet. If I am just starting a RA Flareup inflammation, I will take 2 or 3 tablets with food on the morning of the first day of the flare up and 2-3 tablets the evening of the first day of the flare up. By the morning of the second day it will be SO much better you will think the flareup might be gone, but go ahead and take two tablets in the morning and two the evening of the second day anyway. The third day I will take two in the morning and one at night The fourth day I will take one in the morning and one at night. By the fifth day after the flare up started I never have any pain, inflammation or swelling at all, so I just take ONE NATURE'S WAY BRAND turmeric in the morning daily thereafter as a prophylactic (preventive) to ward off future RA flare-ups unless I trigger one by not getting enough sleep, staying up all night, or just "overdoing it".
