Supplement combination/effectiveness

Posted by wisfloj @wisfloj, Sep 27, 2019

Ergomax brand PEA was working so well after 9 weeks of 1200 mg. Per day, thought I was 'cured'. Pain and burning was rare and brief! Then…it comes back. Who would one go to in order to find out if supplements are cancelling each other, overkill in combination taken etc.? I take alpha lipoic acid in the R-ala form, acetyl L carnitine, turmeric and B12. Continuing with PEA since I stocked up! Medical doctors? doubt it, health food stores? Probably sell you more stuff! How do you find a chemist or biologist perhaps? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Ken @depueman, Thanks for the private message. I thought I would answer it in this discussion – Supplement combination/effectiveness: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/supplement-combinationeffectiveness/ so that @jesfactsmon @jeba other members who have also posted about Theracurmin, curcumin, turmeric supplements may also share what their experience.

You mentioned being interested in a product called Theracumin and wanted to know if I have tried it. The short answer is I have not tried it. Here's some information I found this morning – " Theracurmin is formulated using proprietary manufacturing methods to increase curcumin's solubility and bioavailability in the body. To create Theracurmin, curcumin is mixed with gum ghatti along with other ingredients and ground down using a wet grinding mill to reduce its particle size." — The Difference Between Curcumin & Theracurmin: https://womensvoice.com/en-us/articles/nutrition/the-difference-between-curcumin-theracurmin/

Here are a couple of research articles from NIH. The second one contains a table -Curcumin Formulation Strategies to Enhance Absorption that shows some top rated products including Theracurmin and the one I am currently taking Meriva.
— Short-term effects of Theracurmin dose and exercise type on pain, walking ability, and muscle function in patients with knee osteoarthritis: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5747204/
