So far I'm very impressed with these. I have tried many herbal remedies and suppliments over the past year to help with low mood and low energy. I currently take 5htp and magnesium at night which really helps me sleep. But I was still feeling a bit irritable at times through the day, I've had low energy for ages and with winter coming on I could feel my mood getting worse and worse. I've heard of people getting SAD in the dark winter months and definately think it affects me. I already take a multivitamin which gives me my vitamin d, so I went online to search for a natural remedy for depression. I have tried rodiola before, which gave me energy but made me very irritable. And other things like maca powder which didn't help. When I read about tumeric, I was a bit sceptical but willing to try it. I was surprised to find so many curcumin products out there! From longvida to theracurmin to bcm95 and bioperin. From what I read (a few weeks ago now) I think it was longvida which looked the best for depression as it claims to cross the blood - brain barrier. But the longvida curcumin was too expensive and would not arrive for a few weeks, so after search online and checking reviews I went for this one. I started with 1 tablet and didn't have any adverse effects so quickly upped the dose to 2 in the morning and 2 at night, taken with omega 3 fish oil as I read it is best to take with some oil. Its only been 11 days but over the past few days I have definately been a bit happier, I don't feel as lonely as I did, I'm not as irritable with the kids. I'm more likely to see the funny side now. I feel more balanced. I dont feel a ton of energy but i dont feel particularly tired either. And my cough has gone away, i had had it for months! Ive also not had a cold yet - with 2 kids i was catching a new cold every week or 2, it has been a nightmare how run down i have been! Certain things used to get me down, and now they don't! I might think of something that would normal hurt my feelings or make me tearful and feel lonely, but now its like it goes over my head and i dont linger on the negative feeling for too long. It's weird but I don't feel as if I could be making this up in my head, I haven't felt this way in a long long time, possibly ever. I just hope the effects don't wear off. I will update if they do. I might try the longvida version in future but until then I will definately continue with these as they are good quality and value. Apparently tumeric helps with arthritis and pain and even altzimers, after what I have experienced, I wouldn't put it past it!

I don’t write review because I always purchase what I know and don’t read reviews, however, on this occasion I bought the Turmeric capsules after reading about the health benefits on the internet. I have arthritis and Turmeric Curcumin in studies has shown can help treat symptoms of arthritis and is in some cases more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs plus suffering from depression that requires medication, these capsules in a study in 60 depressed patients showed that curcumin was as effective as prozac in alleviating the symptoms of depression, so anything that might relive this symptoms I thought I would give it a try and hopefully allow me to reduce or come off medication.Out of the sites selling Turmeric Curcumin, some with good ratings, why did I choose Taka? It’s Organic and in a one a day capsule form. It has Bioperine important for the absorption and no nasty artificial ingredients. Another big thumbs up from me is it’s manufactured in the UK to British Food Safety Standards.It was delivered the next day, always help when you have a urge to try something new!Been taking it for a week now and maybe too early to feel the benefits but I think I do, my knees and ankles are less creaky than a week ago and I feel lighter in my spirit and that hasn’t happened for a long time!I will be making these a regular purchase and will review again after a month

Opening the box:You get a good number of tablets that would last you over a month.Administering:Easy to swallow, no issues.Performance:This is the sixty four thousand dollar question in respect to supplements as I could be feeling a difference from a sugar pill.I have restless legs syndrome which causes me leg pain, I would say though I did feel a massive difference in pain levels reducing, however a note of caution as it may have not been anything to do with this supplement.Overall:I took this turmeric for about 6 weeks and found it helped, though I did notice my acid reflex did get quite bad and I stopped taking these, however again this might not have had anything to do with the supplement.I would recommend if you wanting a good quality turmeric supplement, just try it out and see how you get on.

I originally bought this for depression as I had read that turmeric is good for that and I had got to a point where I would try anything, whilst at the same time wanting to avoid prescription drugs. I noticed a difference within about 2 weeks of taking one of these a day, but the greatest improvement I've noticed is in my anxiety. I had a bit of a wobble and increased the dose to 2 capsules a day and have now been taking these for around 3 months. I feel so much better - the anxiety is almost gone, and much easier to manage when it does crop up, and the same goes for the depression. Highly recommended - give it a try if you're open to the idea.

I don't know if this is strictly due to the turmeric, but recent blood tests show that my inflammation markers are lower than I expected. These pills are easy to swallow and good quality turmeric. I've been taking 4 a day as I have an inflammatory condition and was trying to reduce use of NSAIDs. I don't use any anti-inflammatories any more, but bare in mind I've been using other medical methods to reduce my inflammation too.If you have the money and know that inflammation is a factor of your pain, then I would talk a GP and if they agree that it's safe to take this, it may very well be worth a try. I've not had any major pain relieving miracles, but knowing that my inflammation markers are the lowest ever, I can't help but think maybe this has been helping.
