Nature Made Tumeric Capsules 500 Mg, 60 Count It is turmeric in capsules. I bought it for inflammation that I have all the time from spinal issues. I have had good experience with turmeric in the past, but I am not sure this brand did anything for me. It might have to do with the strength. Generally the dosage is quite a bit higher than what came in this formula. Turmeric/curcumin is treats quite a few things, possibly,it's anti-inflammatory, helps against pro-inflammatory diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, uveitis, ulcerative proctitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative Colitis and irritable bowel disease. That said, this version lacks what is needed in order to absorb this compound you have to have an additive, such as bioperine to improve its bioavailability, as curcumin has very poor absorption rates, rapid metabolism & rapid systemic elimination rates. There is nothing in this product that increases curcumin's bioavailability so I doubt it is really helpful to most people. If I might be so bold, perhaps check out some other brands.
