SwansonTurmeric Phytosome with Meriva 500 Milligrams 60 Capsules

I was waiting to write my review until after I'd finished the bottle. I see a noticeable difference. I have an auto-immune disease that is attacking my Sacroiliac joints. Taking the Turmeric twice a day, I have noticed a difference in the pain/aches in all my joints, but most significantly in my Sacroiliac joints. I did not suffer from the GI upset that some people report experiencing after taking turmeric. I do not take any pain meds regularly, not even Tylenol now.A little background info: My SI joints were so bad at one point I was walking with a cane and as if I were 90... I'm only 37. I'm of average build, still medically considered over weight ( a BMI of 28), but not obese. I am HLA B27 strong positive and was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis after suffering years of "mysterious" lower back/hip pain, countless trips to Physical Therapy (positive side: I now have fantastic core muscles). At one point I was told it must all be in my head... found a doctor who thought the symptoms sounded suspicious and tested me for the genetic marker. (Have more than a handful of family members who are also strong positive) I do also have psoriasis. I was placed on Humira and had a reaction to the medicine, so I spoke with my Rheumatologist and told her I wanted to try Turmeric. To my surprise she wasn't against it... the turmeric helps with the inflammation of my joints caused by my disease :) I haven't taken Humira in over a year!

This is a great product been using it for 15 years. None better tried them all.

This supplement is now part of my daily diet regimen. So far I'm pleased.

Works wonders for my joint pain

I use turmeric to hold down the inflamation in my body. I decided to give this a try. My old stuff works. Well see how this works

Tumeric is a natural version of ibuprofen but it takes a while to work so you just gotta keep on using it until you realize a change in your symptoms this is a great product to use as a pain controler and decreaser! I highly recommend!

Arguably this is the best turmeric supplement in the world. It was developed by Indena, and trademarked as Meriva. Indena, a reputable Italian company, spent many years to develop bioavailable turmeric ingredient and it was tested extensively in many clinical studies to demonstrate its superior efficacy.

Seems to be helping the inflamation

Swanson Ultra Turmeric Phytosome with MerivaWhen I ordered these I wasn't really sure what the differences were between 'Turmeric Phytosome with Meriva' and a normal Turmeric supplement. After some research I found out that this delivers an advanced curcumin which is 29 times more bioavailable than ordinary curcumin. Which basically means that much more of this is absorbed into the body than taking normal Turmeric.There are 60 capsules supplied, this works out to be 2 months supply. The daily does is just a single capsule taken with food and water, with each capsule providing 500mg of Turmeric Phytosome.There are many claimed benefits of taking Turmeric, some of the claims are that it can help with the following:Depression,Type 2 Diabetes,Viral Infections,Premenstrual Syndrome,High Cholesterol,Alzheimer's Disease,Arthritis,Cancer,Irritable Bowel Syndrome,Headaches and Acne.The capsules are easy to swallow with a glass of water, they do not have any nasty taste that I could detect.CONTENTS:60 x CapsulesThank you for reading my review, I hope you have found it helpful.

I suffer from arthritic pain in my legs and other joints in my body and my physio suggested I try supplements to help reduce the inflammation that frequently flares up causing me to have excruciating pain. Turmeric is a natural flowering plant, which along with anti-inflammatory properties is also linked with preventing heart disease.I’ve taken one capsule a day, and had no negative side effects, but the frequency of the inflammation in the joins in my knee has reduced which has been fantastic. I think these are great value for money and you have enough capsules to last you for two months.I hope you found this review helpful.

easy to swallow and good value, I use these as a anti inflammatory, taking one a day. Hard to notice results but would recommend Turmeric for this purpose.

Turmeric, and its active component curcumin, has a substantial following among those with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia because of studies around 2009 suggesting that it and green tea had an effect in slowing down the progression of blood cancer, increasing the rate at which cancer cells died. All kinds of wider claims are made about it - and indeed I saw a very upbeat full page advertisement for turmeric only last week in the magazine for the University of the Third Age.Ten years on from the positive research claims, there seems to be increasing scepticism - curcumin is seen as a 'false lead'. Some research papers were later retracted as fraudulent. Most curcumin does not leave the digestive tract. Wikipedia tells us that according to a 2017 review of more than 120 studies, curcumin has not been successful in any clinical trial, leading the authors to conclude that "curcumin is an unstable, reactive, non-bioavailable compound and, therefore, a highly improbable lead".

Turmeric is commonly used for conditions involving pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis. It comes from the turmeric plant and is commonly used in Asian food, it’s the main spice in curry.It contains the chemical curcumin. Curcumin and other chemicals in turmeric might decrease inflammation.It’s a very safe supplement to take with very few side effects.I’ve taken turmeric supplements for a few months now and have noticed a reduction in the pain from my arthritis, I’m taking less prescription pain killers, which is always a good thing.These particular capsules contain 500mg of turmeric phytosome and although the instructions say to take one a day it’s perfectly safe to take 2, especially if you want to target inflammation.The capsules are a bit more expensive than the ones I usually buy but it’s too early to tell if they help as much yet so I’ve had to take a star off due to the price.Hope you found my review helpful
