Have you tasted fresh turmeric. It's completely different to powdered.

I make a "Turmeric Latte" (milk, honey, 1/2 tsp turmeric) at night using powdered turmeric. I think turmeric has a much stronger colour than flavour - to me the flavour is actually not that strong.

I add natural yoghurt to turmeric powder and pepper.
It is fat soluble.
Tastes horrible but you get used to it. Michael Mosley said they didn’t get good results with tablets when they did their study on trust me.

I grate fresh turmeric. The reason for the pepper is to activate curcumin, the most active constituent of turmeric.

Didn’t do anything for me but probiotics did.

Somone else mentioned tumeric, didn't know about black pepper. Actually NT magazine had an ad for tumeric, they know their readership. Think I will give it a go.

I have just read the benefits of taking this combination and I am going to try it to see if it will improve my memory. Holland and Barrett sell it.

Ordered some for my husband - anything that might help his sciatica is worth a try!

I got mine from amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0784CPBFR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?psc=1&tag=gransnetforum-21&ie=UTF8
But any health shop would have it

I started taking these in February, one tablet once a day. I wasn’t sure but thought nothing ventured etc.

I have noticed my aches and pains are easier and my ibs is greatly improved, but told myself it could be a coincidence IBS, has good and bad times, and aches do get better with the right weather.
I couldn’t take them for about 4 days and OMG the difference, could hardly get round the house again, and as for the stairs they were a nightmare, and my tummy, well less said. Make on them, and within a week I’ve improved.

I just thought I would post this for anyone who was interested.
