What people say about Turmeric and mood
“Turmeric has a very powerful anti inflammatory and brain protective nature... Both have helped level me out mentally and very effectively physically as I have two crippling autoimmune diseases.”
“I drink 5 grams of Turmeric (the spice) every morning before my coffee. IMO, the turmeric makes me feel better than the coffee.”
“I've been taking it about 6 weeks and haven't noticed a benefit.”
