- Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis is a trustworthy brand. Product always holds up. Price is fair.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseHaving a knee that was in almost constant pain for a couple of years, I had been using Celebrex periodically - knowing that it wasn't a good idea to use it daily. I had used Curcumin products without bioperine, but they did nothing for the pain. This makes me pain free most of the time, taken as recommended on the label. And, it is a natural product, so I feel confident. I keep it on my kitchen table, so that I won't forget to take it twice daily. Medical doctors had no solutions other than meds with frieghtening warnings about regular use.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis brand is recommended by consumer labs for potency and purity. it works. I switched from a cheaper supplement, but this one is worth the price as it is third party tested by consumer labs, which is important to me. It provides me with mental clarity and eases my chronic joint pain. highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI'd been taking turmeric for several years to combat natural inflammation that happens with aging with great results. You have to take at least a tablespoon of the spice (mixed with liquid) to get results and It was icky to drink the mixture, so I was looking for an extract alternative. Vitacost Turmeric has the highest mg per serving/capsule that I could find plus it has Bioperine (found in black pepper) which has been proven to improve the absorption of turmeric. I've been taking this for several months and it works just as well as the yucky stuff--no achy joints and tendonitis! Very happy with the quality and I just placed an order for another 2 month supply.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2022Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI rely on independent 3rd party scientific reviews for all supplements since unregulated in USA to ensure purity and bioavailability claims. This formulation contains black pepper which is necessary for absorption. Capsule is slightly large and has slightly unpleasant taste so I take it with tea or juice to disguise. I am willing to pay more to ensure that I am ingesting healthy products. Do your research.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI hadn't been taking this supplement on a regular basis. One day my elbow tendinitis was hurting. I took 2 capsules and noticed a couple hours later that the pain was gone. I'm now taking it daily.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2023Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseBest Tumeric Product on the Market!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021Size: 120 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThough this product might seem expensive compared to some of the other turmeric formulas on Amazon, you get what you pay for! This product provides the highest amount of curcuminoids per serving at one of the lowest prices (if not the lowest) and has the ingredients to enhance absorption, as well (always best to take with a fat-containing meal regardless). This product passed all the tests at ConsumerLab, not only for purity but having the number of curcuminoids that the label claimed. This is a must-buy for anyone interested in taking one of these supplements.
