This is the best curcumin I have ever tried (no affiliation, but it is the only one I can feel working):

Also-they sell a 4X strength one through a few online retailers. It is really good.

Thanks Walter!

Curcumin + black pepper is best for absorption. Thank you, Walter.

Mmm yes make some yummy curries with lots of veges for dinner. Remember to add a little bit of black pepper (piperine) to help with curcumin bioavailability and absorption.

Let food be thy medicine.

Your mom’s quote reminds me of the great Buckaroo Bonzai: “Nothing is ever what it seems, but everything is exactly what it is.”

Cheers!!

Once again your brilliance and positivity shine through Walter. I have been taking Curcumin, Thyme, Black Pepper and Rosemary for some years now - recommended to me initially by my Naturopath. Checking your posts and finding one is always a positive start to the day! Thank you from myself and all other folks seeking a better way to protect and heal our bodies and as an effect promoting cognitive functioning too!

Love turmeric.

Walter, for serious plant medicine endothelial lining protection I'd suggest looking at the OPC content in Pinus pinaster. I understand this plant to have a long list of favourable endothelium attributes - protects against reactive nitrogen species and activated macrophage induced glutathione depletion plus beta amyloid injury, reduces platelet aggregation, inhibits pro-inflam cytokines, stimulates eNOS to increase NO etc. Maritime pine is chockers with OPC's, with low molecular weight, plus rutin, quercetin and kaempferol. Here, the FE of Pinus pinaster for SPED has been popular.

Thank you so much, Wondrous Walter!

The virtuosity of turmeric is seemingly endless, and I am hugely appreciative of your elaboration upon, really your elucidation of turmeric's salutary effects on endothelial damage.

Thanks again!
