curcumin or turmeric

I use turmeric twice or more daily. I use fresh blended root and also add som dried powdered root.

I cook it with black peppar and some coconut oil, ad som cayne ass well.

What do you gues think work best. I never tried curcumin in a pill form. Can i get enough curcumin through my method or do i have to drink an insane amount?

I also consider that there will be som benefits from eating the whole thing and just not the isolated stuff.

about the combination i don't think there are any risk that it will get to much. One adult aspirin contains 500 mg. a babyaspirin contains 81 mg.

I found the advice in "Why cant i get better" by Horowitz

"We also regularly use a baby aspirin and
fish oils to try and prevent the occurrence of phlebitis."

Sayyadina took all the thoughts out of my head regarding about getting the bioavailable curcumin and the fact of NOT combining NSAIDS/aspirin with it!! That would be way too much blood thinning going on IMHO.

I use this brand:
www.vitacost.com/jarrow-formulas-curcumin-phytosome-500-mg-60-capsules
and its awesome. I used to take regular turmeric and did not notice a difference. I really noticed a difference when I made the switch to the more bioavailable meriva curcumin.

There is also research out there that curcumin has effects against the co-infection babesia as well so if you have possible babesia, it would be a win-win by taking it! ;-)

Also, smart thinking that your already taking the black pepper with it ;-)
