This is a review of ProHealth Curcumin Herbal Supplement, a turmeric product. Turmeric is an amazing ingredient with over 300 active ingredients that offer benefits to the body. Some practitioners even consider Turmeric the most powerful of all herbs.  In traditional Indian medicine it is prescribed for a wide variety of ailments including cuts, liver problems, respiratory problems, gas, stomach problems, and various anti-inflammatory needs.

We decided to dig a little deeper into the ingredients, dosage, website and pricing information for ProHealth Curcumin Herbal Supplement to see if it is really as good as it sounds.  We wanted to see how it measures up to other Turmeric products on the marketplace.  Continue reading to learn all about this product and see if it may be a good purchase for you.

Ingredients

This is an herbal supplement; it is not a medication. Some people prefer to take supplements such as this to help their health.  We went to the product’s website to take a closer look at the product formulation.  Unfortunately, however, the website does not have a great deal of useful product information.  No ingredient list or product formulation is available to review. This should be a big red flag to consumers.  It is not recommended to purchase a health supplement without understanding what it is made out of, particularly if you have allergies or sensitivities.

Dosage/Use

The manufacturer does not provide any recommendations for dosage or use on the product website.

Side Effects

Similar Turmeric products are considered safe for long term use.  While we would assume that this product is safe for long term use we could not verify this information from the website. There were no reports of problems or side effects online. Of course, allergic reactions are always possible.  Contact a doctor and discontinue use immediately if you experience any allergic reactions to the individual ingredients.

Price

This product is sold for $36.49 online.  This is a moderate price for this type of a product.  It seems to be comparable to other Turmeric products on the market.  If you are a member of this website’s “smart savings club” you can purchase the product for a discounted price of $32.84.

Guarantee

No information about a product guarantee was available online. Shoppers want to feel comfortable when trying out a new product.  It is unfortunate that this product does not offer any type of a money back guarantee. Many similar products sold by reputable companies offer guarantees or at least some sort of return policy.

Conclusion

We ran into some concerns when we were reviewing ProHealth Curcumin Herbal Supplement. Namely there was a lack of complete enough information available on the product website.  No ingredient list or product formulation was provided online.  You should not purchase a product without knowing what is in it.  Furthermore, no user reviews or product guarantee information could be found on the company website. For these reasons, we cannot recommend this product as being one of the best on the market.

This is a review of Lamberts Turmeric. This product claims to be a high strength pure Turmeric extract. Turmeric has a great number of health benefits.  It is thought to be one of the most powerful of all herbal supplements.  Some of Turmeric’s benefits include:

• helping with joint related problems and issues
• helping preserve a healthy cholesterol level and cardiovascular system
• helping as an excellent digestive aid
• helping with multiple aspects of liver protection.
• helping in maintaining a healthy weight or controlling obesity
• helping to promote the flow of bile, resulting in the breakdown of fats.

Turmeric is also an overall excellent anti-inflammatory.  It has been known to receive general aches and pains as well as those associated with arthritis. There are a great deal of Turmeric products on the market and sorting through them and selecting the best one for your needs can be confusing.  We decided to take a closer look at this particular product’s ingredients, price and guarantee.  Continue reading our review to find out if this product is right for your needs.

Ingredients

This product is an all natural health supplement. The active listed ingredient is Turmeric Spice 10,000mg (as 500mg of turmeric root extract providing 95% curcumins).

Other ingredients listed online include: Calcium Carbonate DiCalcium Phosphate Microcrystalline Cellulose Tablet Coating (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Glycerin Colours: Iron Oxides & Titanium Dioxide), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Crosslinked Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, Silicon Dioxide, Stearic Acid, and  Magnesium Stearate.

It seems clear that this product, when compared to other “all natural” products seems to have a lot of chemical ingredients.  It is hard to recommend taking a product with some many chemical components.

Dosage/Use

The manufacturer recommends taking 1 tablet daily. If necessary, a second tablet can be taken. However, the manufacturer does not provide clear guidelines as to what may trigger the need to take a second dose.

Side Effects

We have found nothing to indicate that this product is not safe for long term use. This product, like other Turmeric products, has no known or reported side effects.  Of course, use common sense and contact a doctor and discontinue use immediately if you experience any allergic reactions to the individual ingredients.

Price

This product is sold in the UK for $19.95.  No coupons or additional discounts could be found online.

Guarantee

This product does not seem to offer any sort of a guarantee. There are many other Turmeric products on the market that do offer guarantees.

Conclusion

In researching Lambert’s Turmeric we found some positives and negatives. This seems like a decent product from a reputable company.  However, the website does not indicate whether this product is FDA approved and we would have loved to read some customer reviews. We were also concerned with the number of chemical ingredients. This product also lacks the support of a money-back guarantee making it a risky purchase.  For these reasons we cannot recommend Lamberts Turmeric as being one of the best Turmeric products on the market today.

Conclusion

Turmeric Curcumin w/ Bioperine seems like it may be ok product from a decent company.  There were excellent user reviews found online which is often a good sign.  There are several concerns about this product.  First, there are no indications about whether this product is FDA approved.  There were also no clinical studies provided online to support this product’s use. Lastly, we were not able to find pricing information online because this product is sold through third parties. For these reasons we cannot fully endorse this product as being one of the best or safest on the market.

As a topical skin remedy, turmeric’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties aid insect bites, fungal infections of the skin, minor wounds, and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.

We decided to learn more about this product by reviewing the manufacturer website.  We reviewed the ingredients, pricing and more.  Continue reading to learn more about Source Naturals Turmeric Extract  and whether it is right for your needs.

Ingredients

This is an all natural herbal supplement with will definitely appear to some people. Active ingredients include Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Root, Bromelain and Black Pepper Extract. Other ingredients include: dibasic calcium phosphate, stearic acid, modified cellulose gum, silica, and magnesium stearate.

Dosage/Use

Adults and children 12 or more years of age should take 1 to 3 tablets daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking as many as 3 tablets a day seems like a but much, especially when compared to other supplements on the market.

Side Effects

Some people should not use this product. For example. if you are pregnant or lactating or have any history of liver, gallbladder or gastrointestinal problems, please consult a healthcare professional prior to use. Other than that, this product is considered safe for long term use and without side effects. This product is not specifically labeled as allergen-free so you may want to pay close attention to your response to this product if you do have a history of allergy issues.

Price

This product costs $17.98 for 50 capsules or $34.50 for 100 capsules.  This is very inexpensive and makes us skeptical of the quality of the ingredients used.  Good price is not the same as good quality.  A lot of companies take short cuts in quality in order to reduce the price. This often results in a poor product.

Guarantee

No information about a guarantee for this product was available online. It is disappointing that this product does not offer the security of a money back guarantee. People should be able to get a refund if a product does not work as promised. The lack of a guarantee is a big problem and makes us hesitant to endorse this product.

Conclusion

Upon our review we discovered several areas of concern with Source Naturals Turmeric Extract.  First of all there were no user reviews found online so we could not learn about people’s firsthand experiences with this product. When you couple the lack of reviews with the lack of a product guarantee is is obvious that trying out this product is a big risk. Furthermore, there are no indications about whether this product is FDA approved.  For these reasons, we have to say that this is not one of the strongest options on the market.

This is a review of Sandhu Curcumin Ayurvedic Vegetarian Capsules.Turmeric, more specifically its component Curcuminoids, has been clinically validated for its wonderful role in terms of health and wellness benefits. Turmeric is a known anti-inflammatory that can help relieve aches and pains in the bones and joints.  It is excellent for digestive issues.  It also may help control obesity and induce the flow of bile (thereby breaking down fats). It really is a wondrous compound.  As such, it is not terribly surprising that there are many Turmeric products sold on the maketplace and not all of them are of equal quality.  We decided to conduct some independent online research to learn about Sandhus Curcumin C Complex Ayurvedic Vegetarian Capsules.  Read on to find out if this product may be right for your needs and is as good as the company advertises.

Ingredients

We tried to review all the product ingredients and formulation online.  Unfortunately, this product does not currently have a full product list available on the manufacturer website. This makes it very difficult to accurately assess the quality of this product. We would never recommend purchasing or trying a product without first understanding its composition.

Dosage/Use

The website directs use of this product as a dietary supplement for adults. User should take one (1) capsule daily, preferably with a meal.

Side Effects

This product is advertised as safe for long term use. According to the website, this product has no known or reported side effects.  However, the ingredients are not provided online so it is possible that users may be allergic to individual components.  If you experience any reactions you should contact you doctor and discontinue use immediately.

Price

This product costs $29.95 on the company website.  This price is about average when compared to others on the market. One bottle should provide you with a 60 day supply of the product.

Guarantee

We reviewed the website carefully and could find no information or mention of a product guarantee. This is a big problem especially when coupled with the lack of a full ingredient list. Consumers should feel confident in trying out a new product and it is disappointing that this product does not offer the security of a money back guarantee.

Conclusion

When looking into Sandhu Curcumin Ayurvedic Vegetarian Capsules we found many areas of concern. We have to say that it is probably not the strongest product on the market. Primarily, the product formulation is not available to review online.  This is a huge problem and we cannot recommend trying out a product that does not disclose its ingredients.  This is also a safety issue for users that have allergen concerns.  Beyond the lack of an ingredient list it is troublesome that no user reviews are available online. Also, this product does not seem to come with a guarantee. No ingredients, no reviews and no guarantee are enough reasons to steer clear of this product. For these reasons we cannot recommend this product as being one of the best.

This is a review of BioActive Nutrients Curcumin with Black Pepper.  Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial plant that is a member of the ginger family. Turmeric is most commonly thought of as an yellow spice and an ingredient in curry.  Actually, the active component of turmeric which is responsible for its deep yellow color is known as curcumin. This component is also responsible for its health benefits when taken as a concentrated health supplement. Turmeric benefits personal health in many ways. It is a strong antioxidant that can help keep safe cells from free radical damage.

BioActive Nutrients Curcumin w/ Black Pepper is animal and gluten-free making it a great choice for those on restricted diets. We researched this product to take a closer look at its ingredients, price, guarantee and more.  Let’s take a closer look at the quality of this product.

Ingredients

This product contains 500 mg of Turmeric extract and 5 mg Black Pepper extract.  Other ingredients include:  white rice flour, plant based magnesium stearate, vegetable cellulose (capsule).  This product contains no sugar, salt, yeast, gluten, artificial preservatives, colors or flavors. This product does appear to be a vegetarian product which will be appealing to some consumers.

Dosage

Users should take one capsule three time daily with meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.  No side effects have been reported to date.  Pregnant or lactating women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, and people with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements. This product should not be consumed by children.

Price

This product is available directly from the manufacturer’s website for $59.95 for 180 tablets. 180 tablets is actually only a 60 day supply, meaning that taking this supplement will cost you about $1 per day.

Guarantee

The website claims this product is unconditionally guaranteed. While that sounds like an excellent policy, it may just be rhetoric as details are not provided. If you are truly thinking about  trying this product out you may want to contact the company to find out what their unconditional guarantee means and whether you can get your money back if you are dissatisfied with the product.

Conclusion

We conducted independent research online and found BioActive Nutrients Curcumin w/ Black Pepper  this seems like it may be a decent product from a reputable company.  However, one of the most noticeable drawbacks is the lack of a detailed satisfaction guarantee.  This product is sold in a large quantity (180 capsules).  It is a very big leap of faith to purchase such a large amount of product without the safety net of a a satisfaction or money back guarantee. Also the product formulation is not as strong as other similar products on the market. The quantity of black pepper included is extremely small.  Users will also have to take 3 capsules a day which may be a deterrent to some people.  For these reasons we cannot recommend Curcumin with Black Pepper as one of the best products on the market.

This is a review of Dr. Mercola Curcumin Advanced. Turmeric is just becoming popular in Western culture. However, in traditional Indian medicine, turmeric is prescribed for just about everything — from cuts and grazes, to respiratory ailments, liver disease, gas, bloating, digestive illness, the heart, as an anti-septic and more.

We decided to take a closer look at this product to see if it really is as great as the manufacturer claims.

Ingredients

This is a natural health product, not a medication which will appeal to many people seeking out alternative treatments for their ailments. This product contains Curcumin Root, 500 mg. No other active ingredients were provided on the product website. It seems like some artificial ingredients may be used in the capsule formulation though it was actually quite difficult to discern this from the product website.  It definitely seems like the full picture was not provided online which makes it tough to accurately assess the product quality.

Dosage/Use

This product has a very poor and incomplete website.  As such, the suggested use for this product was not provided online.  You may need to contact the manufacturer directly for this information. Again, this may be difficult as full contact information was not provided online.

Side Effects

No known or reported side effects were listed online.  However, this really doesn’t mean much since the website is so incomplete. However, similar Turmeric products are considered safe for long term use. Generally speaking Turmeric products have no known or reported side effects.  Make sure to contact a doctor if you have any questions.  Also you should discontinue use immediately if you experience any allergic reactions to the individual ingredients.

Price

This product costs $72.95 on the company website.  This price is very high when compared to other products on the market.  It is unclear how long a bottle should last because they do not indicate specific dosage information online.

Guarantee

No information about a product guarantee is currently available on the product website. It is disappointing that this product does not seem to offer the security of a money back guarantee. Many similar products offer money back guarantees or return policies.  However, the website does not specifically state that there is not a guarantee so your best bet is probably to contact the company directly and discuss the issue with them if you are interested in trying out this product.

Conclusion

We noticed some pros and cons when reviewing Dr. Mercola Curcumin Advanced.  This product comes from a reputable company which is a definite pro.  However, the product formulation seems to weaker than some other products we have researched and not all of the ingredients are even listed online. Also, this product does not seem to come with a guarantee. It is sold in a large quantity which is a big risk to take without the security of a guarantee. For these reasons we cannot recommend this as the best Turmeric product on the market today.

This is a review of Vitacost Turmeric Extract.  Turmeric is currently receiving a lot of attention as a supplement for its various health benefits.  Turmeric supports health in several ways. It is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect cells from free radical damage. It also helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response, helps protect brain cells, and helps to maintain a healthy liver even under challenging circumstances.

This product is manufacturer by Vitacost. Vitacost nutritional products are manufactured to high standards of quality, efficacy and safety. Each Vitacost product meets or exceeds the standards and requirements set forth in the FDA’s Code of Federal Regulation Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP).

We decided to conduct some independent online research to learn about this product and see if it really is as great as the company claims.  Read our review below to find out if this product is right for your needs.

Ingredients

This product contains 1160 mg of Turmeric extract, 1100 mg of Curcuminoids, and 5 mg Black Pepper extract.  Other ingredients include: Gelatin (capsule), rice flour, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silicon dioxide and stearic acid (vegetable source). This is not a vegetarian or vegan product which may be a problem for some users.

Dosage

The website clear states that two capsules should be taken on a daily basis.  However, it does not outline what time of day the capsules should be taken and whether they should be taken with or without food.

Side Effects

No side effects are listed on the product website.  However, no side effects are generally experienced with Turmeric products.  It is good practice for pregnant or lactating women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, and people with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs to talk to a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements. This product should not be used by children.

Price

This product is available directly from the manufacturer’s website for $28.33. This seems to be a good price when compared to other products on the market. However, it is unclear whether the bottle contains a 30 or 60 day supply..

Guarantee

The website claims a “5 Star Guarantee.”  However, this sounds like rhetoric as details are not provided. It’s unclear if you can actually get a refund if you are not happy with the product. It is also unclear if the “5 Star Guarantee” has an expiration date (i.e. if you need to return the product by a certain time).  You may need to contact the manufacturer directly for more information.

Conclusion

Vitacost Turmeric Extract does not really compare to some of the other Turmeric products on the market. When we conducted our initial research online we found that it seemed like this may be a suitable product from a reputable company.  However, one of the most noticeable drawbacks is the lack of a detailed satisfaction guarantee. While the company says that it has a “5 Star Guarantee” there are no specific details listed for how, or even if, you can obtain a product refund.  There are many other products on the marketplace that have strong refund and guarantee policies.

This is a review of Vitamin Shoppe Triple Strength Turmeric with Curcumin.  Turmeric  is just gaining popularity in the United States but, it has long been considered as one of the most useful herbs worldwide. For thousands of years, it has been instrumental in Eastern medicine. Turmeric has many health benefits. Turmeric is believed to be a potent antioxidant, which makes it helpful in preventing damage on cells caused by free radicals. As a powerful antioxidant, it is also key in the promotion of better skin health. Clinical studies have also shown that it also promotes a healthier digestion, which allows it to help with weight management and possibly weight loss.

We took a close look at the ingredients, price and guarantee for this product.  Continue reading to see if this truly is one of the best Turmeric health products on the market.

Ingredients

This is an all natural health product.  No artificial fillers or binders are included in the product formulation. This product contains 900 mg of Turmeric.  No other active ingredients are provided.  This product does not include: Yeast, Corn, Wheat, Gluten, Sugar, Salt, Soy, Starch, Dairy, Citrus, Fish, Animal Derivatives, Preservatives, Artificial Colors or Flavors. This product is considered suitable for vegetarians.

Dosage

The manufacturer recommends that one capsule should be taken twice a day, preferably with a meal and a glass of water. No side effects have been reported or are listed on the website.  Talk to your physician if you have any questions or concerns. Stop using immediately if you experience an allergic reaction.

Price

This product is sold directly on the manufacturer website. One bottle can be purchased for $47.99. Each bottle contains 120 capsules, which means it is good for a two month supply. This is a pretty good price and is inline with other comparable products on the market.

Guarantee

Unfortunately, no guarantee policy is listed or provided online. This does not mean that the company does not have a policy so you may want to contact them to clarify and verify this. Many comparable products offer guarantees so we would hope that this company would do the same.

Conclusion

We conducted independent research online and found that Vitamin Shoppe Triple Strength Turmeric with Curcumin seems like an ok product.  It seems to have a good quantity of turmeric included. (However, we would have like to see the inclusion of other complementary ingredients.) It is also an all natural, vegetarian product with no artificial fillers or binders included.  Nonetheless, one of the most noticeable drawbacks is possible the lack of a satisfaction guarantee.  Another major drawback is the lack of any clinical studies to support this product’s effectiveness.  Lastly, it is not clear from the product website if this product is approved by the FDA or if it’s production is even overseen by the FDA. For these reasons we believe that Vitamin Shoppe Triple Strength Turmeric with Curcumin does not live up to other products on the marketplace today.
