Did you mean turmeric and curcumin? They are the same thing - curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric. It is more effective when taken with peperin (black pepper.) Coumadin is a blood thinner, available only by prescription.

There are many turmeric and curcumin supplements out there - my pain specialist recommends one from a reliable source which includes black pepper.

It was amazing the other day - I have noticed that I am a lot less achy this winter, and one of my friends said the same - the difference (besides being a year older) - turmeric capsules twice a day.

Cox inhibitors, on the other hand, are not useable for me on a daily basis - too many years of them - my stomach cannot handle it any more. I do resort to the occasional dose when I am miserable.
