Also be mindful of deceptive labeling. Some products will say something like "Turmeric/Curcurmin" and upon closer inspection you'll see that the majority of the capsule is composed of stems, leaves, etc., but there's added a smaller amount of "standardized" product. Avoid these products. Scam stores like Vitamin Store sell this horseshit. What you want is pure turmeric extract, standardized to 95% curcurminoids. You also want to see at least 5mg bioperine (black pepper extract) as this improves absorbtion about 200-fold. Take with a fatty meal. In addition to antioxidant and anti-free radical properties, curcurminoids are potent inhibitors of both Cox-1 and Cox-2 without the hepatotoxicity of acetominophen (Cox-1 inhibitor) or renal toxicity of ibuprofen (Cox-2 inhibitor).  Another good anti-inflammatory is fish-based Omega-3 fatty acids. If you like sardines and will eat them daily, you're set. For the rest of us, Costco or Sam's triple-strength Omega 3, 4-6 caps per day can be helpful. Omega 3 (anti-inflammatory) and Omega 6 (inflammatory) share the same pathway, so, flooding the system with more Omega 3 reduces the availability of the system to Omega 6 fats. If you can eat like an Eskimo, go for it.
