I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on this product. Curcumin is an extract from TUMERIC. It is now being researched for its anti-inflammatory properties especially involving blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease starts out as an inflammatory condition and progresses from there. It is a potent antioxidant which protects your genes and can be considered prevention against cancer. Jarrow is a well respected company that has a long track record for quality. There is a slight controversy. Should you use the whole herb tumeric or the extract Curcumin? I would use both combined with cayenne pepper and Hawthorne berry root. Add some Garlic extract and fish oil and you have a superior heart healthy nutrient mix. This is a very good product. And don't leave out the Coenzyme Q-10.

I bought these because I'd been reading that curcumin (an ingredient in turmeric) is helpful in controlling psoriasis. I've been on Soriatane, a prescription capsule, for several years and taking a half dose (one Soriatane cap per day) plus two capsules of the curcumin seems just as effective as the full dose of Soriatane with way fewer side effects. Soriatane is insanely expensive and can really beat up your liver, so the curcumin experiment seemed reasonable to me. Two months in and it appears to be working just fine. My doctor is pleased with my latest labs and my psoriasis is manageable (not gone, but better than it was on just the half dose of Soriatane -- about the same as it was on a full dose of Soriatane), so I'm happy with this product. Note: psoriasis flares and wanes and you usually never know why, but usually in January mine is really bad. This year it's not too bad, though a half dose of Soriatane does not control it. I definitely think the curcumin has helped, and I'm not one of the "nature is best/drugs are bad/eat healthy and you'll cure anything" crowd...I was skeptical but willing to give it a couple of months. So far, so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curcumin beats cancer, August 26, 2008

My doctor (dermatologist) recommended that I take curcumin as a preventative against skin cancer. He gave me a report from MD Anderson research that showed curcumin was proven effective in "turning off" many kinds of cancer cells. I found the Jarrow Curcumin 95 to be an excellent value for a quality source of this herb that is the active ingredient in tumeric or curry.
