This is an elite anti-inflammatory for joint and muscle pain. Yet it's also much more: Only the "Longvida" formulation of Curcumin -- 285 times more bioavailable than standard Curcumin -- provides the remarkable benefit of passing through the blood brain barrier to contact the brain plaques believed to cause Alzheimer's. Those in India with Curcumin in their core diets have the lowest Alzheimer's rates, so I take it daily, as my dad had the disease.And this is an ample 500mg of Longvida Curcumin, offering even more than what's frequently used in medical studies. Only one-a-day formulations should be considered best-in-class, and this one meets that standard. It's a vegan-friendly capsule, too: None of the ground-up bovine hooves of traditional gelatin.30 once-daily capsules of 500mg Longvida Curcumin at this price also currently represents the best value within the Amazon ecosystem. - (Was this review of use to you?

I ordered this supplement hoping for some relief from arthritic symptoms in my feet. (I have not been diagnosed with arthritis; basically my feet were just really stiff and sore in the morning such that it was difficult to even walk upon first rising from bed— which I attributed to some sort of inflammation.)In addition, it had been suggested by my psychiatrist that I might consider taking turmeric for its mental health benefits. Apparently there is research showing that some mental illness (Alzheimer’s and depression, for example) may be caused or exacerbated by an inflammation of the brain itself— and that an anti-inflammatory diet may help relieve these symptoms.I had purchased some curcumin supplements from Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco (which has an extremely well-stocked section of herbs, tinctures, supplements, etc— and is probably the overall best grocery store in the United States), but then did some more research about curcumin’s bioavailability etc. and it started to seem like the Longvida formulation would be most effective, so I went on Amazon (I live in New York so couldnt go back to Rainbow to look for it unfortunately...) and saw that the Longvida forumlation was being sold by a number of different companies.Igennus’ offering seemed reasonably priced and I appreciated them telling a little bit about the company in their product listing. Also they are based in Cambridge and although they claim no affiliation with the University, I just sort of associate Cambridge with high-level intelligence and success, good breeding etc. (I’m only partially joking about that bit.)Anyway I ordered the supplements, they came like the next day or something (thanks Amazon, very convenient— although I do have serious questions about your labor practices, and about your effect on small “brick and mortar” retail businesses etc., although on the other hand your platform enables a small company like Igennus to sell their product around the globe to many people who might not otherwise have had access to it, so— complicated) and I began taking them, starting with two a day right off. About that time I received an email from Igennus directly, which contained a nutritionist’s advice about the product and how to take it, as well as some answers to frequently asked questions etc. I really appreciated this and got a sense that they they truly do stand behind their product and honestly care about the well-being and improved health of their customers. Of course this could just be good marketing, but it worked on me, and more importantly the product itself has worked tremendously. I can report nearly complete relief from the physical symptoms that led me to seek out this supplement. The mental symptoms... well, perhaps not so much but we’ll see!To sum up (and perhaps could have skipped all this discussion but hopefully it’s of use to someone), I am very satisfied with both seller and product— five stars well deserved!

I was looking for a good curcumin product that has a good bio-availability... This is the brand used by UCLA during their research and seems to wok for the treatment of Alzheimer etc. So I know it is a good and reliable product that works.... Recent research also shows 30% improvement in cognitive and memory function of healthy adults... I started using recently. I will update with if it worked for me.... Read more

NDHS is a weird but not-rare condition neurologists have been seeing recently and my DH has had a continuous headache that is especially bad when he works longer hours than normal.Lately he's been litigating a near-billion dollar trial and of course working brutal hours and we were both quite concerned about his health. I've been giving him on capsule twice a day along with alpha lipoic acid and he reports that he has not seen a worsening in the two weeks since. Read more

I've shattered my knee cap in an accident some years ago and have a plethora of knee pains throughout the day. On day 2 of taking this supplement, I went straight to the gym and had the best leg day I've had in years. Between this and Taurine, it has saved me so much money on surgery it's actually ridiculous. By 5 stars, I mean my knee literally feels 100% with no pain whatsoever. MIRACLE DRUG Read more

After 30 years and wasting probably $40K on miracle this and that’s..... I can assure you this is the first product that actually did what it said. Pain in my fingers, feet and joints gone..! Read more

I have given this to patients with Rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic arthritis, and behcet’s disease. The results of pain control and ulceration reduction exceeded the usual recommended medications.The unprocessed curcumin is proven to reduce TNF in the blood which is a substace that aggravates inflammation.Therefore, Longvida may have even a stronger effect on reducing inflammation.I suggest the igenus company help recruits this promising longvida in a high quality RCT studies to support its medical use.

I take two every day with a multi and my blood levels stay normal. I get blood taken every three mo and I'm good to go! Works well with all other vitamins, minerals, amino acids and anything else you take on the daily. Read more

I purchased this particular 'version' of curcumin after having read many comments on forums and some articles - all of which presented it to be the best (or certainly the most tested and/or researched) 'adaptation' of curcumin, with regard to its absorption into the system. This product certainly works, as both my wife and myself feel a clear and powerful boost after taking just one tablet. Mental processes become clearer throughout the day and the stamina increases so that you can cope with more tasks up until later in the day. Frankly no other plant-based product that I have tried has generated such a consistent and clear effect. This makes this product really special and - I believe - revolutionary. Read more

I have been taking one capsule daily, as is advised on label, and am almost to the end of the 30 day supply. I'm happy to be taking only 1 capsule of Longvida Optimised Curcumin vs 4 of another brand. I haven't had any issues with stomach upset. Some of the excipients might be a cause for concern, but in this instance, I've overlooked them. Whether it's helping the inflammation in my joints more efficiently and effectively remains to be confirmed as it's still early days. I will be purchasing further bottles in order to give the product a better chance of having a positive effect. I usually give a new product 6 months to find out if it's working for me hence the title of this review. Read more

Does the trick, feel the difference with knee stiffness. Switched from Novasol due to being vegan. Hard to say for sure but these might be better. Read more

I contracted Parkinson's disease around 4 years ago and was prescribed Sinemet. My doctor told me that the disease would continue to progress as the relevant brain cells die. I had a slight and sporadic tremor in my hand and chin and a little stiffness in my elbow joint and jaw. I am just finishing my third jar of Longvida Curcumin; I can't be sure but taking curcumin could be the reason the stiffness and the tremor haven't got worse. In fact, both seem to have improved. My only gripe is that the product is quite expensive. Read more

This is a great product, although one capsule a day had no effect on overall health, however there has been a noticeable improvement especially on movement with two capsules a day with food. Effects were noticed in the 2nd/3rd week, the first week just tried taking one a day and didn't notice anything.There have been no issues of wrong number of capsules that other reviewers have stated, which made be a little worried about ordering . There were the correct number of capsules in each bottle and none of them were broken, all in good condition. Looking to order more but the price has gone up. Read more
