Terry Naturally CuraMed® 375mg Capsules

Why CuraMed costs more than plain turmeric

Curcumin absorbs badly. Swallow a standard turmeric capsule and most of it passes straight through without reaching your bloodstream, which is why so much turmeric research has come back showing nothing at all.

CuraMed uses BCM-95, sold in some markets as Curcugreen. It's curcumin blended with turmeric essential oil, and the oil brings turmeric's own compounds along to improve how much curcumin your body takes up compared with a plain extract. That's the argument for the price, and it's about the only thing separating this from supermarket turmeric.

375 mg or 750 mg?

This is the lower strength, one softgel a day. Terry Naturally also make a 750 mg version. The 375 suits someone starting out or maintaining. It's also a smaller softgel, which matters more than you'd think if you find capsules hard to swallow.

What to expect

Curcumin is slow. People who notice a difference in joint comfort tend to describe it over weeks of daily use rather than days. Taking one for three days and feeling nothing is the normal experience, not a bad batch.

Before you start

Curcumin can slow blood clotting, so speak to your doctor if you take a blood thinner or have surgery coming up. Same goes if you're pregnant, nursing or on other medication.

Take it with food that has some fat in it. Curcumin is fat soluble, and a softgel on an empty stomach is working against itself.
