NOW FoodsSupplements, Turmeric & Bromelain (Standardized Turmeric Extract) with Bromelain 2400 GDU/g, 90 Veg Capsules

Everything shipped/arrived great.More importantly is my relief from intestinal cramping, both in my colon and in the area where my large and small intestines meet.Without exaggeration, this supplement is life-changing. That is, it also helps eliminate the unpredictible surges of body aches that would consume so much of my vitality and joy of life. My energy level now, while taking this supplement, is much more constant/stable, thank G-d.Though the label recommends "1-2 capsules, twice in a day," I take two, basically, with every meal (3 meals).Also appreciated is, unlike most of the other "Turmeric & Bromelain" offerings by other companies, this product (as stated directly from the label) "Contains NO sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish, or preservatives"... a "vegetarian/vegan product". ...No gelatin, either.For my dietary requirements (kosher), that's a "homerun" (This product does NOT have hechtsher).Having UC, spending gobs of money and suffering through examinations, doctor/hospital visits, and medications, I had nothing to lose but $15 trying this. I'm glad I did.Update Nov 28, 2012:This supplement has now become a staple of my diet, no different than if it were an item on my grocery list to pick up for healthy nutrition. Like healthy food, this supplement SIGNIFICANTLY helps maintain my vitality/health, thank G-d.Still been taking 2 "vcaps" with every meal (it seems most effective taken first, before I eat - perhaps it's just coincidence, and I would experience the same benefit taking them during or after a meal, as well).Colitis symptoms still minimal - and mostly non-existant. I DON'T NEED TO TAKE MEDICATION anymore to allieve symptoms, thank G-d. No more blood, no more mucus, no more bloating, no more joint ache/achiness, no more energy surges, no more discomfort, no more inconsistent bowel movements - almost all the time. What more could one ask for?The disease is still chronic... it's still there. Instead, I'm managing the symptoms with the help of this supplement and psyllium fiber with every meal, as well. I've also taken off some weight since starting this regimen, without adding any exercises or increasing my physical activity. I eat pretty well, too, thank G-d....After MUCH trial-and-error (over 5+ years), I've found consistent health staying away from (as best as possible) the following "foods": most everything located in the aisles of a supermarket (stick to the perimeter), cereals, "food" bars, sugars (in most fruits, too), pastas (basically, anything high in carbohydrate, including oats), dairy, egg, corn products (including corn syrup and maltodextrin/dextrin), beans/legumes (including humus & peanut products), acidic foods, seeds (including those inside foods such as eggplant, tomato), nuts, soy, staying away from "vegatarian" or "vegan" products, and refraining from eating out when possible (after not eating out for awhile, the next time you do, you'll taste how restaurant food is so sugary and salty).$15, 2 times/mo for Tumeric & Bromelain is $1 per day of health, with no side effects... priceless (or, worth at least the $30/month!).Now compare that to the cost of chemical, artificial medications that have all kinds of unpleasant, weird, inconsistent side effects. In addition, with medication, you become a slave to the "health"care system - to doctors, billing, insurance, procedures, etc, etc. Been there, no thanks. I don't wish for my existence to be dedicated and reduced to being a cog of this system. Nor do I want to be part of the "I Have Ulcerative Colitis!" mantra or "life"style, moping around in support groups and discussing my medications.Turmeric & Bromelain + Psyllium husk fiber, both taken with every meal, for relief and vitality from Ulcerative Colitis.

It took me two days of research to help me know what I was looking for and decide which one to buy. There are so many out there that just don't do the job. This one was terrific. It definitely is helping me with my UC flare symptoms. I have been taking probiotics, fish oil, and bromelain/ turmeric vitamins daily, and the combination has made this flare less intense and manageable. My regular medications really give me a lot of side effects and I end up feeling miserable. I am so glad I did my research. This is a quality product! Will be buying this on a regular basis from now on!

Taking this supplement to help our immune system.

Really good product! Our daughter-in-law gave their elderly dog golden turmeric paste for arthritis. When they visited us and the dog ran up our 6 back door steps which she could barely, barely climb 3 months prior, I wanted to know what had happened. She told me about golden turmeric paste and told me I could get the recipe on line. I made it and then later discovered that turmeric plus bromelain taken with coconut oil worked just as well, I ordered this and have been taking 2 capsules with 2 coconut oil capsules each morning for near 2 years ago. Right away I was able to stop the arthritis medication which was causing stomach problems. I trust NOW products to be high quality and no gluten, soy, dairy....You would have to try it to see how it works for you. It is not a pain pill, but a great anti-inflamatory.

I added this to my supplement regimen to help with soreness and inflammation. I really enjoy its benefits. This has no issues with taste and is an affordable price for the quantity.

We order many supplements from this brand and this one specifically is on subscription so we never miss out. Packaging is always clean and untampered.

No funky taste. Not too big. Started seeing a difference with IBD within a week so heaven sent.

After much research after my colitis diagnosis, I learned about the natural & restorative benefits of bromelian! Derived from pineapple, it is a protein deigestive enzyme that helps reduce inflammation amd swelling. It has been proven effective on soft-tissue swelling which colitis tends to do to one’s digestive tract! Bromelian has also been proven effective for asthma! Tumeric has many positive health benefits as well. If you are anemic or are on blood thinners, i do not reccomdnd taking these regularily as they can thin blood/reduce clotting which is an effective benefit in certain circumstances. I also really love this brand as it can be found at most health food stores!
