I'm new to trying turmeric. I probably will experiment with different brands, and of course, varying dosages. Will let you know what I discover. I don't know if I'll even like it. What are you taking turmeric for, may I ask? It seems like such a versatile spice with many applications. I smoke, and I've read turmeric can be good for the lungs. The problem I have is I already take a lot of meds and vitamins, and sometimes certain herbs don't fit well into my regimen. So I just go on to the next thing. After turmeric, which I hope fits in, is gingko biloba with my doctor's permission of course, because it is said that gingko may make the antipsychotic more effective. I am a little suspicious about that statement, but I may try it anyway because of its positive effect on brain circulation. Proper circulation is important in depression, but not everybody has reduced blood flow to the brain. Turmeric should help keep the blood healthy, which will be beneficial to the brain among other things.
