GeroNova Research R Lipoic Acid and Turmeric Curcumin Supplements 120ct - Superior Absorption R Alpha Lipoic Acid (150mg) and Bio-Curcumin (400mg) Nerve Pain Relief, Healthy Joint and Inflammatory Support

I didn't notice a difference.

Great

I believe in “food is medicine”. The Mayo Clinic recommends that you use ginger, turmeric, and cherries for inflammation relief.Sometimes getting enough of each is difficult on a daily basis. These help when your dietary plans do not include enough.I have followed the Mayo Clinic’s advice for consuming ginger, turmeric, and cherries for years. I can honestly tell the difference when I get lax and do not consume enough of the three over several days’ time. Then, it takes another several days for relief to kick in.These are great for keeping on track. Easy.I like turmeric in my scrambled eggs.  I use it when cooking rice and making chicken soup.  But, it is not my favorite spice to use daily when cooking. So, I get the rest of the needed turmeric from capsules.   I take two when I feel a migraine coming on.  It may not prevent the migraine, but they seem to be milder and last a much shorter part of time. I try to take two a day just to maintain good health.  I am very happy with these as part of my routine. These are still bright orange and appear to still be very fresh.I hope these make you feel better also. Give it a few weeks. One day you should notice that you have been in a lot less pain.I will buy these again when needed.

Using Curcumin increase ones antioxidant intake - promotes digestion - improves blood sugar control.I've used Curcumin for quite some time for better circulation - which helps with memory = hearth health -inflammation, and there fore = joints. (& much more)The product info seems confusing to me but I think their saying> GeroNova's R-Plus Curcumin delivers 7 times more curcumin than the average curcumin (400mg)> And their R-Lipoic Acid is 40x more bio-available than traditional R-Lipoic Acid (150mg)which they say is more stable in the body and the reason for better absorption.> The process / high potency would account for the price.Got a little clarity about what their registered Bio-Enhanced® R-Lipoic acid is.> They convert the biologically active "R" form of lipoic acid to Sodium-R-Lipoic acid -which studies have shown achieves 10–30 times higher peak blood levels than pureunstabilized R-Lipoic acid, and achieves them sooner for rapid uptake from the plasma into the tissuesThis is an excellent product - a bit pricey = but excellent.2 daily = 60 daysVegan - gluten-free - dairy-free - soy free - FDA inspected facititly

I've been using curcumin/turmeric supplements for years and have been pleased with their impact on joint inflammation from arthritis. While it's not a magic cure-all, it does lessen the pain and decreases my need for prescription meds. This is an interesting formulation that, according to the manufacturer, provides a much higher potency.A two capsule dose provides 400mg of what they term BCN-95 curcumin. According to the manufacturer (info below is from the manufacturer's website):"Each dose of R-PLUS-Curcumin with 400 mg of BCM-95® is equivalent to 2,772 mg of a typical 95% Curcumin extract. Human clinical studies have shown that BCM-95® has 6-7 times higher bio-availability and delivers almost 7 times more curcumin to the bloodstream than ordinary commercially available Turmeric 95% Extracts. BCM-95® consists of Curcumin, Desmethoxy curcumin, Bis desmethoxy curcumin and the essential oils of the turmeric rhizome. Many researchers have concluded that the synergism of the essential oils and curcuminoids enhances the bio-activity of BCM-95®."I can't speak to the validity of the above, but I have been satisfied with the performance of this supplement. Still, I haven't noticed a marked difference from other high-potency curcumin supplements that cost notably less per dose than this. I've had no side effects, such as stomach or digestive issues, from this (the same situation I've had with other curcumin supplements).One star down for price/value, but otherwise, a good performing supplement to help with inflammation pain.

These are capsules filled with a golden brown powder, easily swallowed. The product is packaged to provide a two month supply. Recent medical literature says: "Numerous studies have indicated that curcumin is a highly potent antimicrobial agent and has been shown to be active against various chronic diseases including various types of cancers, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, this compound has also been shown to be synergistic with other nutraceuticals such as resveratrol, piperine, catechins, quercetin and genistein. To date, over 100 different clinical trials have been completed with curcumin, which clearly show its safety, tolerability and its effectiveness against various chronic diseases in humans. However, more clinical trials in different populations are necessary to prove its potential against different chronic diseases in humans."What that means is that the product is likely safe and tolerable and COULD be useful in a variety of medical conditions, but the bottom line is that we don't yet have the clinical data necessary to PROVE value. So your own experience may vary and you should take this after consulting your primary care physician. This product has a strong and fresh scent and is marked with a shelf life of roughly 8 months following delivery.
