It got here quickly and in good condition

First Let me start by saying that there is no reason why this should cost so much money. I think the seller is taking advantage. I found it for a fraction of this cost. Do you research.I’ve always had migraines 5 or 6 days a week. Every once in a while my migraines lasts a full week without a break. My migraines are the type that knocks me out. I get facial migraines where it’s impossible to wear my glasses; one side of my head becomes very tender to the touch and hurts even sleeping on the softest pillow. For the past 50 years or so my migraine started as soon as I open my eyes in the morning and will last until about 9pm. Most of the time I just go on with my day and completely ignore the fact that I’m in so much pain. This is something I learned to do because what else can I do?I’ve gone to too many doctors, neurologist, ENT’s, had many MRI’s. No prescription drug ever helped me. Excedrin Migraine is amazing for me but only if I get certain type of migraine. The one that is not so bad (but really ruined my stomach).About 2 years ago My neurologist asked me to take vitamins B-1, 2, 6 and 12. I’m not sure if these vitamins helped if any but I still continue to take them.I was reading about Turmeric for my Fibromyalgia, I bought this powdered turmeric (I cant believe I paid so much for it, I must have been in too much pain), didn’t really know how to take it. After a week, I just put it in a tight sealed jar, on the shelf and forgot about it.Two years later, I was reading about the goodness of Turmeric and I wanted to like it so much so I decided to take it out again and make a mixture to drink. I leave it in the fridge in a water bottle and drink a sip everyday (boil water, turmeric, pepper, honey and a spoon of olive oil). I drank one sip every morning for about a month, I did not feel any difference in my fibromyalgia pains but since it’s so easy to take I continued only this time I drank one sip 3 times a day. After about another month of doing this and without realizing, I noticed that the last time I had a migraine was 2 weeks ago. The only thing I was doing different was drink the turmeric mixture. During this time in the summer heat, I should have major migraines but instead during the past 2 weeks I had one very light migraine episode which went away after only 1 Excedrin Migraine pill.I then realized that turmeric gets rid of inflammation, but isn’t that what happens to me when I have a migraine? My head gets inflamed and hurts to the touch.In the past 23 days I’ve had about 2 hours of migraines.This is a miracle for me. I will test it where I will stop the turmeric for a while to see if my migraines return. I will not do this for a while so that I enjoy this summer migraine free. However I will write an update once I do this test.If you try this please let me know how it worked for you.

I am a repeat buyer of Bulk Supplements and am always happy with the purchase. I especially like the Curcumin for it's anti-inflammatory effects and very strong antioxidant properties. I add about 1/2 teaspoon to our smoothies every morning and it really seems to help manage arthritis in my hands. Bulk Supplements provides quality supplements, the only thing I would like to see is a different type of packaging. It is a great concept but once the packages are opened it is a little difficult to re-zip them well enough to keep out humidity/moisture in the air. I transfer them to a small glass canning jar with a tight lid and keep them in a kitchen cabinet out of the light , problem solved. Be careful not to get the curcumin on clothing or other cloth items(rugs) as it will stain yellow. However, the benefits of Curcumin far outweighs the yellow color issue.SOME CURCUMIN BENEFITS BEING RESEARCHED: Research done by the Life Extension Foundation found that curcuminoids target ten factors involved in cancer development. This includes chronic inflammation, DNA damage and disruption of cell signaling pathways. Curcumin supplementation was shown to destroy cancer cell mitochondria, disrupt the cancer cell cycle and arrest stem cell development that facilitates further cancer cell formation.According to Dr Mercola:Curcumin is capable of crossing your blood-brain barrier, which is one factor that has led researchers to investigate its potential as a neuroprotective agent for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.12,13The potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin suggests it may also promote brain health in general. In the case of Alzheimer's, recent animal research14 has discovered another bioactive ingredient in turmeric, besides curcumin, that adds to its neuroprotective effects.This compound, called aromatic turmerone, help endogenous neutral stem cells (NSC) to grow, and these stem cells play an important role brain repair and regeneration activities. According to lead author Adele Rueger:15"While several substances have been described to promote stem cell proliferation in the brain, fewer drugs additionally promote the differentiation of stem cells into neurons, which constitutes a major goal in regenerative medicine. Our findings on aromatic turmerone take us one step closer to achieving this goal."Curcumin may also be helpful. Previous research has shown that curcumin helps inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta-amyloids in the brain of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques associated with the disease. People with Alzheimer's tend to have higher levels of inflammation in their brains, and curcumin is perhaps best known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. It can inhibit both the activity and the inflammatory metabolic byproducts of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX) enzymes, as well as other enzymes and hormones that modulate inflammation.Another common condition that can benefit from curcumin's anti-inflammatory activity is osteoarthritis. Research16 published in 2011 found that patients who added 200 mg of curcumin a day to their treatment plan had reduced pain and increased mobility compared to the control group. Earlier research17 also found that a turmeric extract blocked inflammatory pathways, effectively preventing the launch of a protein that triggers swelling and pain.
