Apologies for the delay in replying; I’ve been camping and walking St Cuthbert’s Way with intermittent Internet access.
I was taking 4 gms per day for about 14 months and developed a urine infection as far as I’m aware unrelated to curcumin but I stopped taking it so that blood tests including PSA for prostate wouldn’t be affected in an…[Read more]

I had about 3 weeks meds-free following 4 cycles of VDT and prior to SCT where I felt reasonably well and although I was very tired in the afternoons I managed short walks 3 mornings per week. I was then in hospital for 17 days for SCT and continued with short walks starting the first day after discharge. 5 months on, meds-free since…[Read more]

My experience was that the actual process was not a problem at all, in fact I found it quite fascina…[Read more]

I’ve been buying from Dr’s Best for some time now but looking at your suggestion (Just Vitamins) they’re a similar price but based in the UK. Dr’s Best are shipped from California and take around a month to arrive so I’ll be switching for my next supply. Thanks again for the recommendation. Currently taking 3 gms per day.

In the interim following my earlier post I ordered my next supply from Doctor Best. Seems to be a reliable supplier and they’re upfront about the ingredients.
I don’t know what is the best dosage (does anyone?) but I started 2 months ago with 2 x 750mg capsules per day gradually increasing to 4.5mgs. Doctor Best come in 1000mg caps so…[Read more]

Some supply Turmeric with a small amount of curcumin and call it a compound under the guise of curcumin. Can be a bit of a minefield.

I’m amost 100 days post SCT and meds-free. After discussing it with my team I have been taking Curcumin tabs for the last 2 months (early days yet) but just wanted to know if anyone has a reliable supplier? Currently ordering online from Supplement Place.
