I am a woman who experiences a great deal of joint pain due to a lack of estrogen in my body. I take one of these capsules (1,000 mg) every night, and it reduces the pain just as well as an over-the-counter pain medicine. I would much rather take the Turmeric than take Aleve every night for the rest of my life!I have tried other brands and they simply did not work. The research I've read said that you must take at least 1,000 mg for it to work. It also must have black pepper to aid in absorption, and very few fillers. YouTheory's Turmeric fits these qualifications and it works.HOWEVER, some of the YouTheory labels say to take 2 capsules, which would increase your intake to 2,000 mg. I tried this for a few months. I did see some increased benefit in pain reduction (as opposed to just taking 1 capsule), but I started bruising very easily. Eventually I experienced a burst blood vessel in my eye, which is a normal occurrence for me. But this time a very large sac of blood formed in my eye because my blood was very slow to clot. It protruded from under my eyelid while my eye was open and affected my peripheral vision. I had to see multiple eye doctors, who could only give me eye drops and tell me to stop taking so much Turmeric. After a week the condition improved and went away. I do not take any blood thinners, nor was there any other reason for this blood sac to form. Once I went back to taking 1 capsule, the bruising also went away. So I believe 2 capsules, or 2,000 mg is too strong of a dose for most people as it definitely thinned my blood and created clotting issues.

Good as expected

This has really helped in my daily health regimen. I have ordered it several times now. Thankful that it has aided in my overall health.

I have not been taking these tablets long enough to know if they are going to help my aches and pains, but I must say that the tablets are very, very, very large and I find hard to swallow. The directions say 3/day, but I'm not going to be able to do that.
