Curcumin Patient Views

I tried 800mg of turmeric curumin complex daily for 60 days and didn’t notice anything different

I’ve been taking Turmeric for several years now. It very nicely replaced an NSAID in controlling pain/inflammation. Long-term NSAID use has its danger of side effects, so that in itself makes it worth it. However, a cure for Parkinson’s it is not.

I feel that taking Turmeric/Curcumin with Black pepper helps me feel better as it’s helpful for reducing inflammation.

My spouse takes Curcumin every day. I cannot say if it helps his PD noticeably since he has taken it for several years. It is a natural anti-inflammatory so for me it helps with joint pain.

We use this one which also has Co Q10 which PD people find beneficial.

I just started it a few days ago. I bought capsules from Amazon (Nature’s Nutrition 1950 mg TID. I tried writing to the study’s authors to find a source, product and dosage, but got no reply. I not sure that Turmeric curcumin is equal to turmeric essential oils, but at about 10 cents a capsule it’s a low cost low risk. The indications are joint, heart, and brain health. I have a heart condition, so it might help. I will keep others posted on any results. It’s still too early to tell. If anyone knows the difference between the capsules and the essential oil, please let me know.

I take it for joint inflammation. To get a therapeutic dose at a reasonable cost I got the extract (standardized to 95% curcuminoids) in powder form from BulkSupplements.com. I add a little piperin (black pepper extract) to increase absorption—but absorption might not matter for gut inflammation.

My inflammation is very much under control now, but I was doing a bunch of other things for it, too, so I can’t speak to the effectiveness of turmeric alone.

Hi, newbie here. I was diagnosed with PD in 2019, but noticed symptoms a few years before. I’m constantly doing research to find something that will help me feel better. I just read an article titled Compound Derived From Turmeric Essential Oil Has Neuroprotective Properties. Has anyone tried turmeric or turmeric oil to help with PD symptoms? If so, how much did you take and what symptoms did it help? I’m not a big fan of turmeric, so I’ve been trying to find ways to sneak it in.

Oddly enough after many attempts to deal with my constipation I found that Curcumin supplements have worked for me. Go figure. But after taking them daily and continuing to eat plenty of cooked vegetables I have found that constipation is no longer an issue.

Turmeric, ginger and pepper (the pepper helps to absorb the others, and cinnamon apparently.. I did take these for a while, I will try again!

I just started giving a capsule of turmeric a day to my spouse, I also start giving him mannitol. I hope it will work for him.
