More Good News on Curcumin

Another positive study on Curcumin. Still wondering what a good daily theraputic dose of Longvida would be. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26943907/

  1. The UCLA Alzheimer Translation Center extrapolates human doses of 2000 to 4000 mg Longvida daily (4-8 capsules) based on animal studies:

  2. So there are a fair number of supplements with Longvida. Which do you trust?

    1. I went with this one. Welcome any data anyone has found on specific brands. I picked this one based on GMP certification and solid price.

  4. Hello guys,

    did anyone consider taking piperine together with Longvida curcumin (or any other brand) ? It is supposed to enhance bioavailability, so I was wondering if bioperine 10mg would be a good addition to take together with curcumin

    1. Piperine is a good idea if you're taking unformulated curcumin as you would need any help you can get with bioavailability.
      On the other hand it probably doesn't make a big difference if you're taking curcumin as Longvida:

      "For example, oral gavage of an optimized, lipidated curcumin formulation (Verdure Sciences, Noblesville, IN; www.verduresciences.com) resulted in 11-fold higher levels of curcumin in plasma and 4-fold higher levels in brain compared with equal doses of curcumin powder or curcumin-piperine extracts."

  5. We purchase our curcumin (Longvida) from International Nutrition(Nutrivene). I enquired about their curcumin and their email response was "Our product is the original Longvida and we purchase our capsules directly from the manufacturer." They offer a discount if you order regularly or order in large quantities. www.nutrivene.com
