I usually don't write a lot of reviews. However, I had to write one for this product. Since taking it, I have had an enormous amount of energy and I'm not sure if this is what the product suppose to do. I had no motivation to do anything, was tired all the time and now I'm full of energy. Also my joint pain is little to none. I move my bones and joints freely. Will purchase again!!

I'm hoping to lower cholesterol, but haven't had a blood panel yet. Reviews showed this to be an excellent product.We will see. I think 3 pills is a lot to take .

Great product has everything you need without any additional chemicals that you don't want!

PRODUCT: Schwarts Bioresearch. Premium Ultra Pure. Turmeric Curcumin w/ Bioperine. 1500 MG configuration.

My Condition: Initial injury to neck and shoulder 1993. 3 herniated cervical disk with nerve impingements. Torn rotator cuff with 3 surgeries spread out over 15 years. Micro surgery to elbow (on affected side). Nerve impingements with radiating pain from neck and shoulder into arms and hands. TREATMENTS: 4 surgeries. TO MUCH PAIN MEDICATION, permanently damaged stomach lining (from 17 years of narcotics and anti-inflammatory). AGE 56. Status: Unable to work and have spent last 6 years WITHOUT narcotics, do daily PT for neck, upper back, hands, arms. Meditate. WORKING HARD to find "alternative supplements" to help reduce swelling pain, not destroy stomach . . . keep functioning, do service work, do A LOT of research. I have a Masters Degree in Health Sciences and several Technology Certifications. My last surgery was a little over a year ago (elbow) and my MAJOR GOAL of the past year has been to reduce my hand and arm pain, so that I can function and NOT HAVE 3 level Cervical Fusion (I do not want to take the risk associated with this). As a former musician and carpenter, I can take the CONSTANT neck/shoulder pain"¦"¦ the pain in my hands has been the one thing that has caused me to "loose hope", and "imagine the worst possible ending".
My physician classifies me as a "Orthopedic Train wreck, that keeps on chugging down the tracks by pure self will and grit""¦"¦
OK, SO, Modern pharmaceutical's have destroyed my stomach, almost killed me (15 years of OxyContin, huge amounts), several surgeries.

WHY TUMERIC?... My doctor recommended that I start looking for safe alternative supplement to help with inflammation that WOULD NOT damage my stomach.

ACTION: After 3 months of INTENSIVE reading and research, I determined that a Turmeric based supplement would be worth trying. After reading EVERY REVIEW I could find, and related clinical findings"¦.. I decided that Schwartz Bioresearch had the most pure pharmaceuticals, and that their "premium Ultra Pure TURMERIC CURCUMIN""¦.. would be worth trying.

DOSAGE: 2 capsules, 2 or 3 times a day WITH FOOD AND 8 to 14 glasses (8oz) a day"¦ I average 4 capsules a day, because it is difficult for me to eat (due to previous damage to food).

FINDINGS: THIS PRODUCE (Premium Ultra Pure Turmeric Curcumin w/ Bioperine. 1500 mg) has been MORE EFFECTIVE that that ALL the previous Medications I was on for reducing the constant pain of inflammation, especially to my hands (largely from swelling around root nerves in neck, shoulder, elbow (Ulnar, Radial, Distal nerves)"¦"¦ I HAD BEEN ON 200 to 400 milligrams of Celebrex a day, until I had a small Abdominal Bleed and my Gastroenterologist OREDERED me to stop ALL medication (except a daily anti-depressant, to manage pain related depression).

FUNCTIONAL RESULTS: After 10 days, I began to notice a reduction of the intensity of my arm, elbow and hand pain. Overall less pain, and when I did have "pain spikes" (from over activity) the DURATION of the TOTALLY DISABILING SPIKES (typically 4 days), had begun to reduce"¦. Now approaching 30 days, the results have continued improve.
THIS WAS MY NUMBER ONE GOAL . . . . .

Both my physicians (Gastro, and Ortho) have been carefully monitoring my condition and have been VERY PLEASED with the results from the Turmeric/Curcumin"¦"¦..
They have selected a few patients and will recommend this same Supplement to them and monitor their progress. They are VERY PLEASED with my results, and hope this HELPS OTHER PATIENTS (which pleased me greatly).

RECCOMENDATIONS on taking medication:
- Take with food.
- Drink 8 to 14 glasses (8oz) of filtered water every day.
- Stay active. Have a focused PT or Rehab program that you can do at home EVERY DAY"¦.. no matter how small.

MY FEELING:
"Modern Medicine" and the Physicians have FAILED ME"¦"¦ it has been my research and finding products like Schwarts Bioresearch Premium Ultra Pure Termeric Curcumin", that have been the most successful for me"¦"¦. I typed this ENTIRE REVIEW and one shot"¦.. Two months ago, I would have had to much pain in my hands to type, or be clear enough (from pain) to write a productive review. I feel like there is HOPE.

RECCOMENDATION:
1. If you goals were/are similar to mine TAKE THIS PRODUCT, and make sure it is ok to take with your other medications (ask Physician, or your PHARMACIST, who are experts at medication combinations).
2. Do your research, come up with a daily PT program (no matter how small), do your best to eat with the goal of stabilizing you blood sugar.
3. Have faith that YOU WILL GET BETTER and that NO MATTER WHAT YOU WILL BE OK"¦..
4. Never give up or surrender to the pain of your disease"¦"¦ It is not a fight ("fight your pain")"¦"¦ that is wrong thinking"¦.. Rather, how can I manage, live with and use my pain to motivate me to research, walk, read, get out of your home.
5. TRUST Schwartz Bioresearch products"¦. They are the most pure and accurate I have ever found.

Closing: My friend. I have suffered HORRABLY with career ending pain since 1995 (had to stop working in 2003), and almost committed suicide. Getting off of Narcotics saved my life, and working hard to find safer alternatives saved my life"¦"¦"¦. I have written a fairly detailed review so that IF you situation has some similarities to your,,, that you might find this review helpful. ALSO, if you are considering Curcumin products"¦. Forget ALL THE OTHER ONES ON THE MARKET AND START AND STICK with SCHWARTZ BIORESEARCH"¦.. They are the BEST: researched, formulated, studied, and most cost effective.
I hope sharing my HISTORY and RESULTS will help you.

PLEASE NOTE: No one PAID me for this review, and I paid full Amazon price for this product. I am writing this review for PEOPLE like me"¦"¦ ALL I get, is the hope that my experience will be helpful to others in their search. I have done nothing but pay Amazon the advertised price, and shared my experience..... no commercial considerations. NONE.

Wow, I almost canceled the order but kept it anyway to try. Little did I anticipate how much pain it would relieve? Now I will be a repeat customer. I was doing twelve different exercises three times a day for back pain. In one day I stopped all the exercises. It does take a couple of hours to kick in after you take it but then you are good for the rest of the day until bedtime. I take it in the early morning now.
