Effectiveness
Pros:
"Works great at reducing joint inflammation and when combined with Sports Research's Collagen Peptides... makes a huge difference in my mobility."
"It has truly reduced the amount of pain I feel."
"I felt better and I had more energy and less brain fog."
"This is by far the best turmeric supplement that I have tried!"
"I've been using the Sports Research Turmeric Curcumin now for about 3 weeks... So far, I've had no stomach upset... preliminary results for the joint pain have been positive."
"I use Curcumin for pain and have used many different brands. Finally landing on a liposomal as my favored. Until this. Just as effective as a top liposomal I've been using."
"I’ve found your product to be excellent quality and easy to take!"
Cons:
"I have been taking this product since October of 2019. In late February of 2020 I began to have vertigo (dizziness)... this supplement caused the vertigo/dizziness."
"Unfortunately after using them for a month, they don’t work at all compared to Qunol! I still wake up aching and notice more pain overall."
"This supplement is extremely weak and doesn't help with pain or inflammation."
"I ordered these because I saw so many great reviews. But these capsules do not help my arthritis on my feet."
"I had to buy this brand to try since the one I normally use is out of stock. I definitely didn’t see much results. The pain came back on the first day!"
"I don’t feel any different. I do see a difference in my physical appearance. I get bad bruises Now with any little thing that I bump into."
"I’m for now I don’t see any results I think that was better when I use to take the real organic turmeric in powder."
Price and Value
Pros:
"At the price this is a great value."
"These are so much cheaper and just as effective."
"Price was GREAT."
"Everything I have tried from Sports Research has been quality product for a fair price."
"Sports Research is the brand that I chose. From their ingredients to their pricing, they are now my go to."
"Each softgel provides 500 mg of Turmeric Extract which again, is hard to find for a decent price."
"I like it so much better than the one I buy at Costco!"
Cons:
"However, the price from my previous order to the upcoming one went from $16 to $29."
"I wish it was a bit less expensive."
"Expensive, but definitely worth it."
"It had been suggested I take turmeric in the morning and the evening. That’s a bit pricey for me, I take one in the morning."
"I really liked this product and even recommended it to a lot of people but now I'm really annoyed... It's out of stock and price jumped to 100 bucks... It was half that price and even that was on the high end."
"I have to take him three times a day to relieve the pain when others that I’ve tried on Amazon have done the job."
"Returned. I have gone through 5 bottles of this but then yesterday I received a notice that they settled in a class action lawsuit for misleading information on the bottle of this exact product and another one (mct oil)."
Product Design and Ease of Use
Pros:
"I especially like that it’s a gel cap because I have a hard time swallowing regular pills."
"The gel caps are easy to swallow."
"These soft gels are easy to swallow and also much less messy than other turmeric supplements I've taken."
"The gelcaps are easy to swallow and easier on my stomach than the apple cider vinegar cocktail I use to take."
"The capsules are large but smooth and easy to swallow."
"The gel pills are large, but go down easy."
"Easy to take. Love softgels."
Cons:
"I just want to say I don't like the new screw off larger lid."
"The only draw back is the size of the capsule."
"Just don't like how big the capsules are."
"Oh, they are large but I had no trouble swallowing them."
"Wish the pills were a little smaller."
"I'm not happy at all with this purchase. After receiving the bottle and opening it up I discovered the capsules were just way too BIG and no way could I swallow this horse pill."
"I love this product. It is the best of three curcumin products I have tried."
Ingredients and Absorption
Pros:
"This product combines the turmeric with black pepper for better absorption. A must!"
"Love the fact that there are only three ingredients and this product which is turmeric black pepper coconut oil."
"The bioperine and coconut oil also greatly helps with absorption."
"I especially like that SR uses coconut oil for better absorption."
"This Turmeric product works well for me because, in addition to turmeric, it contains black pepper and an oil."
"So the SR product has everything I need to include the black pepper necessary for improved absorption."
"As tumeric is fat soluable it needs a fat for your body to use it as well as a spark."
Cons:
"Turmeric is fat-soluble, which means it needs some sort of fat with it for it to be absorbed into your body."
"I found it difficult to have fat with it at all times, since turmeric is fat soluble."
"Need to take with food (as directed) or the pepper may cause minor digestive discomfort."
"I ended up having an allergic reaction to the supplement despite being able to use Turmeric powder in food normally."
"This supplement literally has everything. Fat and black pepper for absorption, plus the highest curcumin percentage to boot."
"I like the formula in this turmeric. It needs a fat to be soluble and get into the blood stream. This has a little coconut oil which is perfect."
"Make sure it is made with coconut oil for improved absorption."
