Turmeric
Turmeric- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
After 3 years of taking turmeric curcumin, my back spasms have abated nearly entirely. My Mom also swears by these capsules to reduce the inflammation of arthritic pain. As a general, natural muscle relaxer, a wide variety of pain symptoms can be relieved. It may take 1-3 weeks for the level to build up to the point of relief, and certainly within the first 1/2 bottle at 1-2 per day.

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
I've been using this daily for a few years now since I started having digestive problems. I haven't been diagnosed as of yet but suspect that I have some kind of colitis problem as I've experienced much pain, inflammation, bowel irregularities including constipation and diarrhea at times. I started using this product after reading studies about the effectiveness of turmeric on IBD patients. It also has high ratings for many other illnesses like arthritis, cancer, digestive troubles and others. I have improved greatly although I still have some basic issues with my digestion...but much of the general sickness has been alleviated. Regular use of turmeric is just one part of my daily regime for my health...but I wanted to write this as I feel it is a major contributor. I take one a day but when my symptoms flare I up that to at least two. One more thing...be sure to take with a good fat as that helps absorption!

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
My mom recommended this product to me, since she had seen relief from daily joint pain and other muscle aches after starting to take 2 capsules per day. I used to get moderate back spasms periodically (two or three times a year), but haven't had any for three years since taking the turmeric. I only take one capsule a day, in the morning after breakfast.

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
I take 2 a day for excellent results. Could not tell a difference taking just one. I recommend taking 2 for a week and if you don't feel a difference take 3. Then cut back after it gets in your system. I can stand up without pain in my knees. Tumeric Curcumin was recommended to me by a Rheumatoid Arthritus sufferer. She said it enabled her to stand all day as a hairdresser.

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
I have multiple injuries from a car accident many years ago. When I started having really bad hip pain doctors told me it was probably arthritis. A friend recommended that I try this product for the pain and inflammation. I usually do not believe in these types of supplement things but I was desperate for relief! Not to mention, studys show the Anti-Cancer properties of this product (I have family history of cancer) so I decided to give it a try!
To be honest, after a month of using this product I was not seeing any big results as far as the hip pain, but because of the Anti-Cancer benefits and the fact that this product has absolutely no side effects (and I had bought 2 bottles of this) I decided to continue to take it..Well, later on down the road, doctors have figured out that my hip pain is not from arthritis but a pinched Sciatic Nerve. (Probably why Turmeric wasn't working for that) I stopped taking the Turmeric 2 weeks before my surgery...This is when I realized just how beneifical this product was!!!
Without even realizing it, the Turmeric does an AMAZING JOB controlling my typical every morning upset stomach! It controls the acid that forms there at night. It also has regulated my not so on schedule Bowel Movements! The other thing I noticed was some of my normal neck (spinal fusion) pain had returned when I quit taking Turmeric. (That pain had been there for so long that I didn't even realize I had started living without the pain until it had returned)..needless to say, as soon as I was cleared by my doctor to start taking Turmeric again I DID!! I am facing one more surgery for hip pain and I am not dreading any part of it, excpet the fact that I have to stop taking my Turmeric again!!
Even with all of my previous injuries, I usually don't stay on medication for very long..either due to the side effects, price or lack of benefits.but I can say, as of right now..I will be on Turmeric for the rest of my life!!
I take 2 capsules at bed time, every evening!
I am fixing to start my husband on it for Acid Reflux!Pros

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
I use this product 4 times a day for my arthitis. Before I started using it my hands were hurting really bad from arthitis pain. After taking the aforementioned amount daily for only a short time (maximum a week), all the pain was gone. I still have some soreness, but it is rare that I feel any pain anymore. I'm an advocate!!!

Comments about GNC Herbal Plus Standardized® Turmeric Curcumin:
I'm told this is in the "anti cancer med" category and for that reason alone, I am taking it daily!
