Curcumin or Turmeric Extract

Yes, I know about these higher bio-available curcumin sources. Research shows that they have usually a 20% greater absorption. They sell for as much as twice the cost of the common curcumin supplements for a 20% greater absorption..

You could try turmeric tea, easy to make and inexpensive. I don't know the potency as I have just started looking into it. I know it's easier to drink than apple cider vinegar. Have you ever had a twitch that feels like someone kicked the bed, not as hard as the falling down body jerk and it seems to happen after I fall asleep?

Thanks mrsD, I may have to check on those. The AOR one I am using is quite expensive but the ND tells me it's one of the best if I can find it.

Mark, I noticed my hand shakes/twitches have faded as well. Not sure why, it used to be a warning signs for me. Happened about a month or so after starting my curcumin and higher magnesium dose.

I have been taking turmeric since a couple of months 500mg and have seen significant improvement in my sleep twitches. Apparently my sensitivity to bumps and jerks is much improved and I can drive in my car without having to keep a cushion under me. I dont know if turmeric helped that but it certainly made my twitches go away. Definitely worth a try for PCS as it might help with many other symptoms too

LongVida brand is now licensing out at a lower price to good companies like NOW....

NOW's brand is called CurcuBrain. one capsule a day is all you need. 400mg of highly absorbable curcumin.

Thank you. I will definitely look into this brand it looks interesting . currently I use scortis healthcare's curcutis-95 and its also good. Its one of some brands that contain piperine as well for better absorption. After trying a few brands I finally got something that suited me and I felt good. But it's pricey.

Organic India's turmeric formula is worth a try as well its a reputed brand.
Good luck to you and have a speedy recovery

I don't have a TBI.... but I do have arthritis and inflammation, and that is why I use the curcumin (CurcuBrain).
