com Turmeric Curcumin Extract Powder - 500g (Pack of 1)

I am impressed, not only with the shipping, but the packaging and the product itself are both high quality. It is easy to see why so many people recommended this product. I really don't have anything really new to add, but here is my honest impression and thoughts at this time. Held side by side with Ground Tumeric, the Curcumin is bright orange vs. dull brown/yellow. Consistency is that of a highly refined powder, smoother than Talcom or powdered sugar. I can't speak to the 95% purity level for certain but it is definitely high quality in appearance, taste and smell. I used a "pill maker" and capsules both purchased from Amazon, to make my own capsules to use for my arthritis. I recently started using Tumeric with black pepper with fair results. This is just kicking it up a notch. I noticed an immediate difference in my inflamation levels, just a few days in I haven't taken any OTC meds or felt the need to. I have started taking 1 capsule just prior to exercise and have noticed much less soreness post workout. Taking with a small meal. I think that the price "seems" high, on its face, but I have to stress 2 things; 1)Keep in mind that this IS a highly refined product without fillers. And that the larger quantity you buy, the price per ounce drops dramatically. Do the math! 2) And with that in mind, next round I will buy a larger size package (this time I went with the 100 gram just to try it) along with an equal size package of plain Tumeric and make my own "filler", cutting it by about 30-40% this will again reduce the cost and still give me the benefits that I am looking for. Also, I grind fresh black peppercorns in an inexpensive coffee grinder which I add to the mix for the piperine. This has the effect of making the Curcumin more bio-available, also at about 30% to the other equal parts. All that being said, I can find nothing bad about this method of inflamation control whereas NSAIDS will permanently damage your kidneys, liver, intestines... So it is worth a shot in my book! All natural is always better than chemical OTC. And short term, this is working for me. I will post back at a future date with my opinion, to see how I feel then. All in all, I am extremely pleased with BulkSupplements' product. I have no doubt what-so-ever that I will order from them again. Thanks to you and Amazon for making this product available. Sincerely, B.Caballero 3 month review, I still feel that this is high quality and a decent price for the quantity. I stopped taking it in pill form and instead just add it to my food or protien shake. Honestly, I have no complaints and agree with every one of my initial comments. Smyrna, DE

Unbelievable stuff! Decreases depression! That is a God-send, in and of itself. But wait, there's more! Reduces inflammation! Helps with my allergies as a result--my sinuses don't swell and make me miserable with a crippling headache. How beneficial is that! Diminishes gas and bloating in the stomach and intestinal tract. I sleep better when I take this product! Adds to me in everyway! Brain functioning is a hundred times calmer, yet, quicker. This is a product that is almost too good to be true--but it is true! Some studies indicate that its anti-inflammatory properties makes it a therapeutic answer to a number of human disease, including cancer. I don't have cancer. But that is from several studies. This product from BulkSupplements is perfect. You don't have the capsules to constrain you. Having it in bulk is the best way to go--this pure orange product is a miracle worker! Except it does stain your clothing, so act accordingly--unless you want orange shirts. I looked up the side effects online. Nothing to be concerned about. In fact, there aren't any to speak of. You can mix it with milk--but I warn you it does not mix well cold or even at room temperature. It sticks to the spoon and hardens. Don't waste it that way. I had to heat the milk and Pure Curcumin in the microwave for 30-55 seconds to get it to mix. Then I added vanilla favored yogurt from whole milk (Brown Cow product, which I love) and some coconut oil and a dash of pepper--because pepper helps this product to be absorbed better by the body. The heat does not diminish the effectiveness. This is like a warm hot-toddy that you drink just before bed. Unbelievable sleep. My joints don't give me as much of a problem since taking this product. I feel energized, to boot! My bowels function regularly. Why did I not know about this years ago? Next, I want to try BulkSupplements Pure Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder and their Bulksupplements Pure Caffeine Capsules (200 mg) (300 vegetarian capsules). This company did well with this product, I am assuming the same with the others in their line--the reviews of all three are outstanding.

I am a repeat buyer of Bulk Supplements and am always happy with the purchase. I especially like the Curcumin for it's anti-inflammatory effects and very strong antioxidant properties. I add about 1/2 teaspoon to our smoothies every morning and it really seems to help manage arthritis in my hands. Bulk Supplements provides quality supplements, the only thing I would like to see is a different type of packaging. It is a great concept but once the packages are opened it is a little difficult to re-zip them well enough to keep out humidity/moisture in the air. I transfer them to a small glass canning jar with a tight lid and keep them in a kitchen cabinet out of the light , problem solved. Be careful not to get the curcumin on clothing or other cloth items(rugs) as it will stain yellow. However, the benefits of Curcumin far outweighs the yellow color issue. SOME CURCUMIN BENEFITS BEING RESEARCHED: Research done by the Life Extension Foundation found that curcuminoids target ten factors involved in cancer development. This includes chronic inflammation, DNA damage and disruption of cell signaling pathways. Curcumin supplementation was shown to destroy cancer cell mitochondria, disrupt the cancer cell cycle and arrest stem cell development that facilitates further cancer cell formation. According to Dr Mercola: Curcumin is capable of crossing your blood-brain barrier, which is one factor that has led researchers to investigate its potential as a neuroprotective agent for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.12,13 The potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin suggests it may also promote brain health in general. In the case of Alzheimer's, recent animal research14 has discovered another bioactive ingredient in turmeric, besides curcumin, that adds to its neuroprotective effects. This compound, called aromatic turmerone, help endogenous neutral stem cells (NSC) to grow, and these stem cells play an important role brain repair and regeneration activities. According to lead author Adele Rueger:15 "While several substances have been described to promote stem cell proliferation in the brain, fewer drugs additionally promote the differentiation of stem cells into neurons, which constitutes a major goal in regenerative medicine. Our findings on aromatic turmerone take us one step closer to achieving this goal." Curcumin may also be helpful. Previous research has shown that curcumin helps inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta-amyloids in the brain of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques associated with the disease. People with Alzheimer's tend to have higher levels of inflammation in their brains, and curcumin is perhaps best known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. It can inhibit both the activity and the inflammatory metabolic byproducts of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX) enzymes, as well as other enzymes and hormones that modulate inflammation. Another common condition that can benefit from curcumin's anti-inflammatory activity is osteoarthritis. Research16 published in 2011 found that patients who added 200 mg of curcumin a day to their treatment plan had reduced pain and increased mobility compared to the control group. Earlier research17 also found that a turmeric extract blocked inflammatory pathways, effectively preventing the launch of a protein that triggers swelling and pain.

Taste is so much better than the other traditional Indian spice tasting tumeric. Much milder impact to your shake. Highly recommend over other tumeric powders. Not overpowering.

I mix this product with several others as my own weight loss elixir. The consistency is a fine powder but does not mix in water at all. It floats on top or sticks to the side of your cup. So, you have drink in a larger, somewhat concentrated doses with each swallow. I don’t mind but some might. It’s got a mildly earthy, pungent flavor. I don’t detect any after effects. Whether it’s a significant contributor to my weight loss or not I can’t say, but I’ve dropped 15 pounds since starting my regimen with this product.

The curcumin seems proper color and consistency. I make something called golden paste to add to morning coffee. Hint for those who complain of stains, try 409 spray, a cleaner I hate for any other purpose and awful odor. But it works for this stain.

this stuff is a dye bomb i a little powder spilling on the counter so i wiped it into the sink and turned on the faucet the powder did not go down the drain but somehow became airborne and make a dust cloud and floated all over everything the teny tiniest amount stains and gets into paint and other surfaces even when dry i spent an hour wiping over and over it just seemed to never end but you have to get it up immediately or you totally screwed, some stains were instant on my kitchen window sill it almost stained the plastic on the window which i would have had to replace the window because windows aren't printable anymore since they are plastic i was blessed to realize i need to clean it immediately i could not even see and orange powder till i started wiping it up first i started by dry wiping and then suddenly everything was orange and then i had to quickly switch to a liquid cleaner because even dry the stain was immediately setting in i used shout laundry detergent it is very strong stuff and will take the paint of the walls if your not careful but shout has a lot of color safe bleach in it that broke down the stain fast thank you Jesus for the idea i hope you all heed the other reviews about stains because i brushed them off but now regret it

Excellent benefits, I have been taking tumeric for years and I find it works for me. However, i find this one tends to leave stubborn stains on everything in the vicinity and it’s very clumpy, floating on top of the liquid used. So what I do to make it works for me: - I use milk frother to blend it till well dissolved/mixed - I cover the bench top with some paper towels and wearing gloves each time (inconvenient I know) - I also find out that using Milton solution works really well to take off the stains (not on clothes) I will be continuing using and buying this in future.
