OK, i have to give credit where its due on this. I have been struggling with back pain issues for a long time now, being treated by a good chiro and we are making progress. But i have been unable to do the things i love like deadlift and squat and such. I still need to avoid spinal compression for awhile but i was able to deadlift for the first time in months. No pain druing or after.
I had tried this on 800mg of ibuprofen, also had tried 800 mg of aleve. Neither worked. This stuff, for me at least, is the most potent anti-inflammatory that i have ever used. I hate taking pain meds but now i have one that i don’t ahve to worry about. YAY
standard dose 2 caps am 2 caps pm, took it for one day which was an off day, then my workout was the next day, so at that point i had taken a total of 6 caps, 4 the day before and then my 2 in the morning, followed the workout with my 2 pm caps…no soreness other than the good kind.
I think it is effective as a spot pain reliever jsut like you would take a couple of ibuprofen for…with my chronic condition i intend to take the full standard dose for a couple of months combined with my chiro therapy and see if i can beat this pain for good.
I had about the same issue. I had knee pain for months and months, and advil and tylenol did nothing for it. Four doses of Curcumin 500 later, it’s gone and hasn’t been back.
I just picked some up for my girlfriend. She had some inflammation that was causing pain in her chest. The doc had her run a course of Aleve, but that stuff is a menace on her stomach.
She’s still taking Aleve occasionally, so it’s definitely time to switch to Curcumin 500.
I also have similar feedback. I am recovering from two ruptured discs. It has been a while and they have healed up fairly well but I still have lingering issues. Curcumin has provided me with significant improvement.
