BulkSupplements Curcumin Natural Turmeric Extract Reviews Summary

Quality and Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I could tell immediately that this turmeric was the real deal in the way I felt, along with a lot more energy than ever before."
• "Studies show that it is a potent testosterone booster, is anti-estrogenic, increases HDL cholesterol; the good kind, is anti-inflammatory."
• "Although it is well-known for its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and antibacterial activities, its ability to increase BDNF in particular has attracted the interest of neuroscientists around the world."
• "This is a great quality turmeric curcumin extract! It helps with arthritis pain plus it gives me energy."
• "I received a free package of Bulk Supplements Turmeric/Curcumin in exchange for an honest review. I have been taking this product along with my daily health routine and I have noticed a significant reduction in the symptoms of inflammation."
• "This absolutely works for arthritis and aging pains. I was able to completely eliminate profession and Aleve."
• "Curcumin is capable of crossing your blood-brain barrier, which is one factor that has led researchers to investigate its potential as a neuroprotective agent for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease."

Cons:

• "I will NEVER order from these overpriced fake suppliers again! Oh and btw you get nothing back for refund when you return it -- it's a little trick some sketchy types on Amazon play."
• "I'm disappointed with the amount tumeric I received, I expected a little more for the amount of money I paid."
• "I gave it three stars because it is almost impossible to mix."
• "This stuff is a dye bomb; a little powder spilling on the counter so I wiped it into the sink and turned on the faucet the powder did not go down the drain but somehow became airborne."
• "I've tried mixing it in cool and warm water and in V8 juice, but it just sits on top of the liquid."
• "However, when opening this product for the first time a bunch flew out and got everywhere, staining things."
• "I could tell after a few days this product wasn’t the same quality I’ve had before."

Packaging and Handling

Pros:

• "I am a repeat buyer of Bulk Supplements and am always happy with the purchase."
• "I have purchased several products from BulkSupplements. I like that their products have no fillers and are pure."
• "The product arrived well packaged and it was fresh and aromatic."
• "Shipped quickly in perfect packaging."
• "All products I have gotten from BulkSupplements are very good quality and without all the added ingredients."
• "The powder came promptly, and well packaged."
• "The customer service was professional, quick and I would definitely order from them again!"

Cons:

• "One suggestion would be to make the zip closure wider, it is next to impossible to close."
• "As for Bulk Supplements packaging, in a word, the envelopes are a pain to deal with."
• "Once the packages are opened it is a little difficult to re-zip them well enough to keep out humidity/moisture in the air."
• "Thus was a small 25gram bag that was left open inside of the larger package."
• "The powders almost always get stuck in the sealable part, rendering it useless."
• "The zip lock on this product is horrible."
• "The zip lock will not work until you get the curcumin out of the tracks."

Taste and Mixability

Pros:

• "Also, it mixes well with my one cup of coffee per day, with no after taste."
• "I am amazed at how delicious it is with absolutely no turmeric taste.. But more amazing is how good I feel!!"
• "The taste is palatable and does not linger after ingestion."
• "Imagine my shock when I discovered that not only does this purified curcumin NOT have the bitter taste of its whole food parent (turmeric), but it's almost tasteless."
• "It tastes good, is a quality product from a quality company, and something I would use again in the future."
• "There is almost no taste whatsoever, so you can put in into your chocolate protein shake or juice without concern over affecting flavor."
• "I add it to my morning smoothy. It doesn't change the taste at all, I have even added it to my coffee."

Cons:

• "I gave it three stars because it is almost impossible to mix."
• "I've tried mixing it in cool and warm water and in V8 juice, but it just sits on top of the liquid."
• "It has to be dissolved in some oil; do not attempt to dissolve in any water or cool fluid. It will not dissolve, it only sits on top the surface."
• "DOES NOT DISSOLVEI soaked a teaspoon of this mixture for 36 hours and it still did NOT dissolve enough to drink it."
• "The only thing I've discovered that is more of an inconvenience rather than complaint is the product absolutely doesn't dissolve."
• "I would have given it 5 stars but am not happy that it is gritty and doesn't dissolve 100% in warm water."
• "The only issue is that this product doesn't mix well without very hot water and of course it's staining like most turmeric."

Value and Cost

Pros:

• "I take turmeric curcumin every day and decided to try bulk powder instead of pre-made capsules, since it's a bit cheaper and lets me decide exactly how much to take every day."
• "Just ordered a larger bag. Taste is acceptable. Price is good. We moved it to a jar with a measuring spoon."
• "Prices are affordable and quality is great!!!"
• "Buying in bulk like this saves lots of money."
• "It is much more economical, $/weight, than the curcumin 95% pills."
• "I love the price. It's sent in loose form."
• "Very high quality stuff, no fillers or any other kinds of 'magnesium stearates'."

Cons:

• "I'm disappointed with the amount tumeric I received, I expected a little more for the amount of money I paid."
• "With my budget, curcumin 95% pills are expensive, and I'm constantly looking for a more economical alternative."
• "First Let me start by saying that there is no reason why this should cost so much money."
• "Buyer beware, I tried this tumeric to supplement my more expensive but effective tumeric...this is nothing but orange flour."
• "I hope it wasn't lead, but who knows. NEVER AGAIN."
• "I wonder if they third party lab test their products. I'm definitely gonna return this thing. Extremely disappointed."
• "The last two shipments have been sub par at best."

Staining and Cleanliness

Pros:

• "The powder is fresh and fine, which is a sign of its good quality."
• "All bags that I got were properly sealed, yet slightly yellowish on the outside."
• "This curcumin passes the bleach test, matching other curcumins of a known high curcuminoid content."

Cons:

• "This stuff is a dye bomb; a little powder spilling on the counter so I wiped it into the sink and turned on the faucet the powder did not go down the drain but somehow became airborne."
• "However, when opening this product for the first time a bunch flew out and got everywhere, staining things."
• "It has now unfortunately stained our white cabinets, and even the tiny stains won't come completely off after bleaching."
• "Be careful not to get the curcumin on clothing or other cloth items(rugs) as it will stain yellow."
• "There is only one problem and that is it will stain everything it touches."
• "The powder, which is an electric golden yellow, manages to get all over my white cabinets no matter how careful I am and requires constant cleaning."
• "Curcumin stains everything so I'm always very careful when opening my packages but there was no avoiding this orange catastrophe!"
