Sometimes when my pills don't seem to be kicking in, I'll remember that I haven't eaten enough or soon enough. Once I eat, then the pills work. I've thought it was something to do with blood sugar, but I don't really know.

Ron, the curcumin I have right now is a "horse pill". I have to dissolve it and make a smoothie to get it down. Do you know of a source for a smaller one or a capsule I could open. I'm away from home right now, but I think it's Dr. Best and I know I ordered it with bioperine on your advice. I think it makes a difference and I'd probably be better off if I took it more regularly. Thanks for letting us know about it and your results.
