A high-dose standardized curcumin extract from a very popular brand, offering strong potential benefits but lacking advanced absorption enhancement.
Quantity: 60
This product features a substantial 665mg of standardized curcuminoids from turmeric root extract, making it one of the higher-dosed standard curcumin supplements. NOW Foods is a very popular brand, evidenced by the extremely high review count (14615), suggesting widespread consumer acceptance and perceived efficacy. While the high concentration of curcuminoids is a significant advantage, the product does not include an absorption enhancer like black pepper extract or a specialized delivery system. Nutritionists consistently point out that curcumin's efficacy is often limited by its poor absorption, so while the dose is high, its overall bioavailability could be improved.
- Provides a substantial 665mg dose of standardized curcuminoids.
- From NOW, a highly trusted and popular brand with extensive positive reviews.
- Good price per serving for the high curcuminoid content.
- Does not include an absorption enhancer (e.g., piperine, phytosome), limiting bioavailability.
- Some users may require a more bio-optimized form for maximal benefits.
- Curcumin can affect blood clotting; consult a doctor if taking anticoagulants or before surgery.
