Turmeric as an anti-inflammatory

I’ve been taking curcumin (turmeric) since November from a company called Thorne. I’ve used it in the past with no improvement, but this time it’s really working for joint pain. I feel like a new person. I suspect it’s also working on lungs as I’m getting better but can’t be sure whether it’s from the curcumin or other treatments. Thorne is a good company because they include black pepper in the pills and curcumin can’t be absorbed without an accompanying absorption agent. I think that’s why it’s been working this time.

Glad you mentioned Thorne. I came across it and had not heard of it before but read some about it and it did sound like they are third party inspected, do you know if that is correct? I haven't ordered anything from them as yet and glad to hear they have the black pepper in the supplement.

Thank you so very much for your post. I have been experiencing increased knee pain due to arthritis. I have heard, many times, turmeric is helpful but I never did anything about it. Your post gave me the nudge I needed.
I looked up Thorne and reviews were quite favorable i.e. "Thorne is the only supplement manufacturer to collaborate with Mayo Clinic on wellness research and content. Thorne is also a proud partner of U.S. Olympic Teams."
I just ordered it and am hoping for good results. Again, thanks!!

What dose do you take? Have you experienced any side effects? Easy bruising?
