BulkSupplements (100 grammes) - Pure Curcumin 95% Natural Turmeric Extract Powder (100 grammes)

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.

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.

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.
