Turmeric Curcumin with BioPerine - 120 Vegan Capsules - 700mg of Tumeric per Capsule - with Black Pepper Extract 95% Curcuminoids

I had done a ton of research on Turmeric/Curcumin and the need for Black Pepper to gain the full benefits (Bioprene) before deciding to try this one by Purely Holistic. At first $29.00 a month (2 pills each day for me and 2 pills each day for my husband) seemed pricey. I'm usually a very 'cheap' person...lol. I got it anyway after reading the hundreds of reviews and research. The benefits I've read about are countless. The way I see it, Turmeric/Curcumin really is the only medicine any person would need and/or benefit all around from taking. It truly seems to be an all around cure for such a wide array of ailments including 3rd stage cancer!! Google it...there is Documented Scientific studies and evidence to support this. My husband has been covered up in eczema so badly that on his arms, sides, legs etc. literally looked like his skin was just rotting away. They would start up as these small red dry spots then spread like wild fire into these full blown blood red enormous sores all over him. It was awful. We tried so many things. Then I somehow came upon reading about Turmeric. Well, I got him to take it and his skin (that had been so badly damaged and difficult to look at for a year or so) MIRACULOUSLY began to clear up after the first 2 weeks of taking this Turmeric (1 with Breakfast/1 with Supper)! Truly! It has also been regulating his blood pressure and keeping him feeling GREAT! Anyhoo, those were the benefits we could see with our eyes in just 1 month of taking this (Keep in mind, this is ALL he takes...we don't believe in taking prescription medicines). Well, I messed up and forgot to order a new bottle before this first one ran up and so now, while the other one is on its way, we've been out for a few days. Since then, he's had a blood pressure spell this morning and his skin has flaired up BIG TIME. It seems almost immediate. I feel so bad that I didn't order it early enough. It won't happen again. I hope they continue making this very product. Purely Holistic has gained 2 lifelong customers for sure. I've noticed that my arthritic pain in the base of my spine and hips has decreased. It's not gone, but it seems to be lessened a bit. I have severe arthritic pain and I figure over a long period of time taking this, I will be able to reap the full benefits. I have noticed that I seem to be slimming down a bit...which is amazing. FYI-my husbands belly has noticeably slimmed down as well. I also noticed after a few days of taking it that my perimenopause symptoms have GREATLY decreased. It totally helped the mood/hormonal fluctuations Immensely. Truly, I feel pretty Great and Positive on a daily basis...I'll get small bouts of moodiness, but nothing I can't handle :) OH! I usually have terrible heartburn EVERY day! Most times it seemed to just linger with me each day and night. I haven't had it at all since taking the Turmeric <3 I know this is a long review, but I want to help anyone out there that is reading this (while doing their own research). If you're thinking about taking it...YOU SHOULD. The 29 bucks is really worth it. I think all you really need is this stuff...it's a cure all. JUST REMEMBER! If you are on other medications or whatnot, Please google any possible interactions with Turmeric...just to be on the safe side. This stuff is a powerful healer and you don't want to conflict it with any man made stuff your taking. It is a natural blood thinner...so keep that in mind. I happen to drink Apple Cider Vinegar Water daily (Braggs ACV or Heinz) and it doesn't seem to have any ill interactions at all with that...in fact, it probably helps :) Good Luck and God Bless :)

I take turmeric products very seriously due to how significantly they have improved my quality of living. Personally I formulate my own product for daily use, but I am always trying new formulas in order to improve my own technique and offer recommendations to others. I place this product in the top 3 I am aware of. Pros: -The main thing that sets this formula apart from other bioperine containing products is the fact that it uses raw turmeric powder in addition to the extract. Almost all plant extracts are most effective when they are taken in conjunction with the plant in its whole form. This is common knowledge among people who know medicinal plants well, and yet so rare in commercial preparations. Turmeric is not an exception to this rule. Bioperine is great, particle size reduction (available in other high quality products) is great, but just adding a little turmeric powder is the most overlooked and effective means to enhance the effects of curcumin. -All indications are that Purely Holistic is a great company which is worth supporting. After buying I got an email from the owner offering a free sample of a different product, as well as a refreshingly personal note. Regardless of whether this is sincere care or clever marketing (or both), I am impressed. Cons: -I personally think the ratio of Bioperine to active ingredients is off. I would reduce the amount of Bioperine to 3 or even 4 mg. My reasoning is this: 350 mg of 95% curcuminoids is not a particularly large dosage. While at 1-3 times daily it will be more than enough for many people, it simply isn't enough for some people treating serious anti-inflammatory conditions. These individuals (under their doctors supervision) could easily take up to 2-3 capsules 4-5 times a day. In this case, the amount of Bioperine would be large enough that the potential for stomach upset would be significant. It comes down to this: 3 mg is an acceptable amount of bioperine for a single dosage. The difference between 3 and 5 mg is negligible. In the case of taking 3 pills at once, this difference is no longer negligible. The difference between 9mg and 15mg (if someone takes 3 pills) is significant enough that it could mean the difference between successful treatment and intolerable side effects. The difference between 3-5 mg is fairly insignificant, however the difference between 9-15mg can be the difference between succes Bottom line: This is a good product. Most people should be very pleased with it. The only caveat I offer is that if you are going to be taking large doses of Curcumin under a doctors supervision, this may not be the ideal product for you due to the ratio of bioperine to active ingredients.

I put off writing this review until I had gone through an entire bottle of capsules and began a second one. I'm sorry to report that I can't tell any difference in my joint pain, in fact my wrist and thumb pain has worsened and my knee pain is certainly no better. After reading the literature on this product I had great hopes for it alleviating my symptoms. The ingredients are pure and the quality seems very good. However, since it's doing me no good, I think I need to stop taking it. Perhaps it's only me and for another it might make a big difference in health and comfort. I truly have nothing negative to say about this company or the product and really wish it would have worked for me. Since the product appears to be so well made, I would still recommend it to others and suggest they give it a try! An additional note: It seems my post was not understood by everyone so I will add a further comment: I REALLY like this product and this company! Hence, my four stars! Sometimes certain foods don't work well for one person because of stomach issues or food allergies and yet work quite well for another person without those issues. Unfortunately for me, this healthy product was not compatible with my particular physiology. So five stars for the product and three stars for my stomach, that makes four stars!
