Lightbulb I am using this..

Curcu-gel.

I was taking regular herb, with fish oil (to enhance absorption), until I found this one.

The claims are quite good for it. And its antioxidant value is listed at 13,000 ORACs.

I am using it for other reasons, and so far have been able to discontinue my SAMe. (arthritis).

As a result, BCM-95® is six-to seven times more bioavailable than ordinary 95% extract. Just one 400 mg dose of this new bioavailability-enhanced turmeric extract is equivalent to taking 2,772 mg of standard “95%” curcumin extract or 2,548 mg of plant-bound curcumin extract with piperine. In the Life Extension human trial, BCM-95® delivered 6.93 times more curcumin to the bloodstream than the ordinary standalone curcumin product and 6.37 times more curcumin to the bloodstream than the plant-bound curcumin extract with piperine.22

I agree curcumin is looking very good for many things that affect us as we age.
It also shows effects at decreasing endothelial inflammation, a very important blood vessel
protection.
