What's your purpose for curcumin supplement?

Just taking curcumin supplement is not going to help in keeping cancer at bay.

Curcumin has many benefits, among which is for joint health due to it being anti-inflammatory. It is this quality (anti-inflammation) which also lends itself for cancer prevention. However, do note that curcumin is also a blood thinner.

Yes, It is high in anti-oxidants and that's the reason it is good for cancer prevention and its anti inflammatory properties; help with joint related diseases.

However, it is also a natural blood thinner and people on warfarin or any blood thinner shall consult their physician before taking; otherwise bleeding may occur.

Probably combining both curcumin and honey would be a good idea, however, it is best to get medical attention if there is any serious problem. Since herbal preparation usually takes sometime to work compared to prescription or over the counter drugs (the latter comes with side effects of course)

Herbal stuff works differently for different people, Amazon is not a clinical research paper and is just testimonial of end users or even distributors; could be biased.

That said, there are clinical papers which indicate curcumin as a herbal replacement which has far better benefit from ibuprofen provided the supplement has necessary ingredients for good absorption by the body.

Yes I agree they don't teach this in medical school. However, do note that herbs work holistically on the body versus drugs which directly works on the affected areas. This is why herbal stuff is much sought after and since different people have different metabolic system; different people have different response time. The same goes for drugs, some people show side effects very fast; whereas, some show it much later.

While Curcumin is good, there are also side effects which one should note and how to make curcumin effective in treatment or in supplements is also stated in clinical journals which is based on scientific research. Just taking doses of curcumin without a supplementing co-efficient like Bostwella or equivalent; it will not be effective.

I am sorry if you misunderstood, what I am saying is that Amazon claims can be misleading as sometimes resellers create multiple accounts to verify and support their claims.

It pays to be an educated consumer.

P/S: I am not a medical student but a Science Student and still learning on nutrition and metabolic health.
