Updated 17 August 2016: This is a tip from a reader of this blog (thank you, Benoit!): if you live in the European Union, there is another supplier of Nutrivene’s curcumin (the one that Dr Josh Trutt MD prefers). This is a French company, Optim Curcuma. I have done the sums (I will post the calculations), and unfortunately with Brexit, the GBP pound (£) is weak and this poor exchange rate means that you will end up paying more than if you bought off Amazon for Nutrivene Longvida. Also, Optim Curcuma only has 400mg per capsule vs Nutrivene Longvida’s 500mg. But if you are in a non-UK country, then Optim Curcuma might be a good option.
Updated 13 November 2014 with my cheapest source of Nutrivene curcumin: this is the cheapest source of Nutrivene curcumin – eVitamin.com: Now Foods CurcuBrain – it costs £13.14 (plus £4.95 for shipping – 5-7 business days). Each capsule only contains 400mg of curcumin vs Nutrivene’s own-brand Longvida which contains 500mg/capsule. However, Nutrivene Longvida in the UK costs £37. So the cost savings is amazing. Use this code 960497 and get US$5 off your order.
Curcumin has been touted as one of the best anti-cancer supplements. It has the ability to suppress proliferation of a wide variety of tumour cells and has remarkable anti-inflammatory action.
According to the prestigious MD Anderson Medical Centre: “there is no cancer that is not affected by curcumin.”
For that reason, curcumin is the #1 anti-cancer spice.
There is a host of curcumin supplements on the market. So which one should you be using? And how much should you be using?
