Positive experiences
“I recently stopped taking Curcumin because of its affect on DHT and I was looking for an alternative measure to deal with inflammation as I feel it really helped with anxiety/depression.”
“it greatly helped my inflammation symptoms after three weeks. I've tried reducing the dosage, but the symptoms start to gradually creep back.”
“I take 5g of curcumin per day and I feel like a train. Highly recommend.”
“Ive been taking it for about a year now maybe a bit longer for anti inflamatory properties and i can tell a bit of a difference but the real stand out is my memory.”
“My mind is clear, my joints are great, and I feel much more calm.”
“Holy shit, I am so glad I picked it up. It has 90% eradicated my catastrophizing and anxiety. I take 1 ~400 mg pill in the morning, and 1 in the afternoon/evening.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I find curcumin works just as well, if not better, than ibuprofen... I have sometimes experienced a little but of GI discomfort from taking it (gas, stomach pain)”
“Awesome, another plus for curcumin. For me it's having a wide range of benefits from improved immunity to significant reduction in chronic pain.”
“I'm not sure if it helps my inflammation or not, but it gives me some of the wildest, most vivid nightmares and dreams I've ever experienced.”
“I had to reduce the Omega 3 and Curcumin to one every other day because the energy levels went too high and couldn’t sleep at night.”
“I've tried several different curcumin products over the years after hearing about it's wonderful qualities, but never noticed anything from a single one of them.”
“I haven’t been taking either, and I’ve actually been using Nigella, Reishi, and Curcumin and literally have noticed not a single difference in anything DHT related.”
