Product Description
Curcumin is now found in arthritis formula called Joint Power Rx, formulated by Ray Sahelian, M.D.
Curcumin has the extract of the antioxidants found in the spice turmeric root. Curcumin contains curcumunoids (including curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxy-curcumin) which are antioxidants. Turmeric in Latin is Curcuma longa. The roots of the plant are stemlike and are used as an herb in Asian cooking such as curries. Curcumin is the major component of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) and extensive scientific research on curcumin has demonstrated its potent antioxidant properties. Through its antioxidant mechanisms, curcumin supports colon health, exerts neuroprotective activity and helps maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a plant native to south India and Indonesia. Its tuberous rhizomes have been used from antiquity as a condiment, as a textile dye and medically as an aromatic stimulant. Curcumin is the substance that gives the spice turmeric its yellow color. Curry powder which is extensively used in Indian cuisine, is largely made of turmeric. Curcumin contains many powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. |

If you love burping up tumeric for hours... this is your product by M. Rodrigue (St. Helena, CA United States)  1 Stars
April 12, 2009
Unless you love the repeated taste of turmeric- do not purchase this product... besides it is only 50% turmeric rhizome - the say 250 mg and the remainder is Curcumin - 250 mg.... I have taken turmeric for 6 months - 500 mg and had no repeat of it's flavor... however this product keeps the flavor coming long after you consumed the supplement. Save your money, purchase a better made product.

Item Description is misleading by tech guy (small town, Texas, USA)  2 Stars
March 17, 2009
While the item description is technically 100% accurate, it leads the reader to believe that the 500mg of Turmeric is all of the same type. However, the bottle clearly says that each capsule contains 250 mg of Tumeric that is rated for potentcy and another 250 mg of Turmeric that is unrated. If the item description was accurate, I would not have purchased this brand, but would have purchased another.

Some speculate that this may prevent Alzheimer's by Pamela D. Jenkins (Grove City, PA USA)  5 Stars
January 15, 2008
This is an easy way to regularly get the essential ingredient of curry powder, which I've read in respected scientific news articles is correlated with lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease. From what I understand, Alzheimer's in rare in India, and in some communities in India which eat lots of curry, Alzheimer's is virtually unknown.
So, we're giving it a try, as well as eating more curries, since we like them. My husband gets a lot of cold sores, which I read is correlated with a higher incidence of Alzheimer's, so I figure this is one thing I can do to keep him healthy, and he also thinks it's a good idea. You hear a lot of bogus herbal "remedies" and other stuff (which has been discredited but persists urban-legend-wise)about aluminum, but this is the only measure I've read about which seems to have some real merit. I've very skeptical in general about "alternative" cures or remedies, and while this has not been tested as far as I know specifically for Alzheimer's, it's easy enough to take, inexpensive, and as harmless as eating turmeric.
