It's suppose to be good for blood pressure, cholesterol, alzheimer prevention. Supposedly also inhibits the growth of cancer cells. It's touted as an anti-inflammatory. I've decided to try and incorporate some into my daily diet. Anyone have any experience? Or opinions? Pro or con. Thanks, Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

And how long have you been supplementing? I would also be interested to know what information led you to decide to supplement. Thanks, Vikki ~ Wild4Stars@gmail.com

Also you can use it in salad dressings, soups, and curries, of course. Black pepper increases its effect so I also add a little pepper along with the turmeric as well.

If there's any side effects I'm not aware of them. Other than it can stain your fingers & clothes yellow. That is why I prefer caplets over the spice. Although I do use the spice when I make Indian food.
