It says this has 65x greater bioavailability but that means nothing if it's not being compared to circumin with bioperine and I'm pretty sure that is the case, but is it? If it's 65x greater than bioperine+circumin then this is great but I'm almost...

Even with bioperine the molecules of curcumin are too large for good absorption. And while good, this product is more expensive than other products that use the trademark Longvida curcumin. I had to take twice the dosage in order to get any benefit. Since I posted my review, a curcumin product has come on the market called Theracurmin which in human and animal studies has the highest bioavailability of any curcumin with a cost that is 1/3 the cost of this Nutriven product. I have not tried this new product and cannot attest to how well it works. I found a b vitamin extract called PQQ that addressed all of the problems I was seeking to correct with Curcumin.

Ok- I'll overlook your blatant sarcasm. I had the same thought, of course. However, I have been using another (expensive) brand of Aloe (which I know to be real due to its results). I am seeing the same healthy digestion results, as well as hair and skin benefits with this product.

Everything I've read says 2.5 mg of biperine is what is effective. That's what this product has. Personally, I'm sold on the quality of Nutrigold products. Their Turmeric, like many of their other products, is GMO free. That's a MAJOR factor in my opinion when we have Monsanto pushing all of their polluted grains like corn, soy and canola.

If you open another window and do a search on any product (making certain that you put in all the information such as with BioPeperine and 500 mg) you can see pother companies that carry the item. Vitacost actually shows you the whole information and, Yes, it is 95% Curcuminoid plus 955 BioPeperine. (See http://www.vitacost.com/doctors-best-curcumin-c3-complex-with-bioperine-500-mg-120-capsules )

If you can find a website that lets you look at the amounts of nutrients in each, you'll see that you get much more "good stuff" in a serving of the regular than of the organic. I tried the organic (if it's organic it's got to be good, right?), but my husband had an allergic reaction to it, so we've gone back to the regular. And, btw, we can tell a difference when we take this every day.

I can't answer about this Nutrigold product because I no longer have the bottle. I use Puritan's Pride Turmeric Curcumin 1000 mg capsules and each has 5 mg Bioperine black pepper extract. I believe this product may have helped lower my blood pressure.

I have only used the product with the 'blend'. So I couldn't recommend one over the other but the version I've been taking seems to help. I'm taking it to help recover from prostate cancer surgery but I've noticed a sudden desire to do a 5k run. Just sayin'. I don't know if I really will but I've certainly not thought that way before. I've done a little background check on the ingredients listed in the 'blend' and it seems they might be helpful. You may be onto something though.

I had to go back and read my review of this product. The bottom line from my review is that there are far cheaper products than this that use the Longvida TM product. If you notice, there are those who got great results from the curcumin product. I was not one of them. As you may notice, there are those like me who have not gotten the expected benefit of curcumin. To help those people, I suggested a product from Swanson which is half the cost of this curcumin. The product is called PQQ. It is a natural B vitamin derivative that has improved my health in multiple areas.

It is going to depend a lot on what is causing the pain. You are likely aware of studies finding that it is as good or better than corticosteroids for some things however if you are like me and your inflammation and pain is from sugar and poor diet choices it will not be as effective, That said, I take it because of all the additional benefits of Curcumin many of which you just can't measure over a short period of time and I dont want to discourage you . Unfortunately you won't know how fast or how much your pain will be relieved until you try it. Thats my experience anyway! Great product to spend money on though if it is affordable to you.

The bioavailability of BCM-95 is about 6.93-fold compared to normal curcumin and about 6.3-fold compared to curcumin-lecithin-piperine formula. See See http://1.usa.gov/1wnTtwO and http://www.bcm95.com/ for more information. As an FYI, BCM-95 is 100% pure turmeric extract standardized to curcumin, demothoxy curcumin, bis-demothoxy curcumin and essential oils of turmeric rhizome. Essential oils' content are 7-9% with ar-tumerone and &#945;-tumerone and around 50% with &#946;-tumerone. Some of the other essential oils that are present in BCM-95 are ar-curcumene, &#945;-curcumene, zingeberene, &#946;-sesuiphellandrine, &#946;-atlantone and germacrone. Hope that helps!

It has been compared. I posted a link below. dr Trutt has 2 blogs on Curcumin.

Firstly, are you benefiting from the one that you're taking? I did a little research on two brands mentioned and it seem as thought the one you are taking have an ingredient in it that the newer one doesn't, Sophora Japonica (Rutin). This ingredient has been shown to support circulatory system health. I'm not a doctor but I use a Lot of herbs for my own reasons and they work for me! You must choose, if you have circulatory problems. Hope this helps.

15+ is more potent with more antibacterial properties. It's usually more expensive than 5+. I personally have not taken it consistently enough to see a difference between them. The 15+ is very rich and I don't take it every day. Some people swear by its healing properties. I can't tell. It's good in tea. This is a legitimate brand. There are alit of fakes out there. This brand really is antibacterial.

No, it's not true. shame on your vet. My vet TOLD me to get her follow up dosages through the internet because it's cheaper. The vet just wants the markup.

Hello. This is an important question so I decided to answer it myself. The short answer is no. But please read on to understand what options may be better choice for you. Heres a somewhat detailed explanation and guideline to what to look for when purchasing from us or other providers of Phytoceramides. When you look around and compare different phytoceramide products, you will find different recommendations by different companies. The most "popular" dose seems to be 350mg for the sole reason Dr Oz recommended that. At the time of his broadcast and the sources he used at the time, they discussed wheat and gluten based dosages only, witch in summary is a very misleading or simplified recommendation. But many just promt follow that and ask for this dosage and nothing more. The most potent research we now have access to comes from another direction and continent all together - Japan. High quality Rice based Phytoceramides are superior all together, but dosages are different. In recent studies 40mg of daily rice based supplementation was more than sufficient for optimal results and performed better than phytoceramides from sweet potatoe and other sources. So that is what we have included in our supplement. Please beware that MANY companies take advantage of the "prescribed" 350mg dosage and use shady marketing tactics and vague description on their supplement facts tables. You get 350mg of what exactly? Even we dont really know that. Hope this helped you to see things from several perspectives. Best of luck with your purchase of Phytoceramides.

The 30x would be stronger, I believe? That was the dosage I bought. I'm taking it right now, and I believe it really helps :)

The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think). I recently compared it to another product, ingredient to ingredient, this other one being one that has almost 500 five-star reviews and reportedly lots of vet recommendations, and OsteoPet was better, ingredient for ingredient, than this competitor. My boy pup is still doing great with these supplements, and on days he's really active (like chasing squirrels at 12, wow!), then he gets a pain-free aspirin substitute, too. Also here on Amazon. His sister gets Osteo and Zeel, doing great, too. I've rambled. Oops. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think).
