Review: One of my staples - Curcumin is one of my staples, and Longvida, a form optimized for brain health is my favorite. I've taken to including Longivda along with several other neutriciticals and vitamins as part of my daily health routine. I'm sufficiently convinced that it contributes to a boost in mood and mental acuity. There are some very good curcumin supplements out there, and I do occasionally swap things up. (Certain others seem more optimal for joints and inflammation, for example.) Obviously, I'm banking on the long-term payoff too. NOW is a sound brand that I've had good experiences with. I've chosen their product because it's the best value out there. I've read that 400 mgs. is the minimum effective dose. Here, you get 50 days in comparison with 30 for roughly the same price elsewhere. It's worth checking out the various forms of curcumin. Curcumin on its own isn't terribly bioavailable (i.e. it's not well absorbed). Definitely look for something with bioperine (which enhances absorption). I've had good results also with BCM-95, another trademarked extract.
Review: Bought for brain, but helped my toe - I was interested in curcumin for its purported neuroprotective effects and chose a formulation with longvida for its supposed ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. In essence, I wasn’t looking for a noticeable fix; I was thinking of long-term health benefits. But something pretty amazing happened. I’ve had a bunion on my right big toe for over 20 years. The pressure point discomfort I’ve alleviated via shoe selection and shoe stretching. But the general foot achiness and occasional acute pain that have become more pronounced over the last few years — those are things I haven’t been able to resolve. Cortisone shots don’t help, and I’ve just assumed that the time for me to correct this through surgery is getting closer (for those of you who know anything about bunions, the two podiatrists I’ve seen have both categorized my surgical level as “moderate”). Here’s the (unexpected) amazing part. For exercise, I mostly bike. I also walk, but don’t enjoy it as much due to my achy foot. Jogging, I’ve pretty much cut out, for foot reasons. A day after starting curcumin, I went for a longish walk, and my foot felt better than it has in years. Wow! I wasn’t even thinking about the curcumin, I was just thinking, “my foot doesn’t hurt, wtf, and how can this make me so happy?!” Two days later, I went for a walk and a run. Same result — pain lowered to a level I didn’t think would happen without surgery. It’s only been 2 weeks, but I have been ecstatic being out and about, on my feet but not annoyed by them. I’ve never taken other anti-inflammatories for my toe (eg, aspirin, ibuprofen), so I don’t know whether they would cause improvement as well. The only other supplement I regularly take is vit D3, which I’ve been taking for years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Magnesium Stearate reduces absorption.  Disappointed to see such additives here.  Does anyone know of a good curcumin supplement without additives?**
A: Its not a matter of reduced absorbtion, but rather, delayed absorbtion. And in this case with curcumins, there is no harm with this. Most of our absorbtion is later on in the gut. So this isn't critical in regard to timing, as the small intestine is very long and this supplement will be absorbed before entering the Colon. As far as safety, the latest info from the FDA (2017), a person who is 150 lbs, has an upper limit of 170,000 mgs per day of magnesium stearate. This is a huge amount. Where the issue comes in, is mostly between 2 specific companies who are in competition. One says that magnesium sterate is not good, and the other says its fine. To me tho, adding magnesium ions to a fatty lipid and stearic acid is fine. This chemical is used for allowing better consistancy of the supplement, and to prevent sticking. Magnesium is natural enough, the lipids coming from either plants or animals is common everyday. Even coconut is 87% saturated fat and people act like its the best thing for our diet. As far as stearic acid, its safe as can be, no harm done. It's up to you which company you want to agree with, but the media is powerful and after researching this I'm satisfied in the process used, including magnesium stearate. Without additives in general to something like this, this would be just generic curcumin root that goes into our system and out within a couple of hours is all. And, the very low bioavailability would leave alot to be desired, besides. see less

**Q: Is this product organic?  Has it been tested for solvents (that some curcumin has)?   Is there a way to directly contact the manufacturer directly?**
A: This is a product made with Longvida curcumin. It's non-GMO but I don't know that the turmeric is or isn't organic certified. Chlorinated solvents aren't used in making it (water and carbon dioxide are also solvents in many herbal manufacturing processes). Yes, the manufacturer can be contacted through the Longvida site of the same name. I have had really good results using it myself. I don't sell it but I certainly do buy it.

**Q: what does crossing the blood brain barrier means in simple terms?//.  thank you**
A: It means that the product can enter the brain. The body has a natural barrier that does not permit that for most products.

**Q: What color should the capsules be? The ones I received are very pale.**
A: The expected color is a light golden-orange to light yellowish-brown. Note that this is not pure curcumin; there is a carrier that is responsible for its enhanced absorption and specific properties/claims.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, great price
*by J***O on July 18, 2024*

This is the best price I've found on LongVida, and since it's a patented formulation you know you are getting a consistent and trustworthy product. I've tried hundreds of supplements over the years and LongVida easily makes my top-5 favorites that I hope to take for the rest of my life because of its efficacy at fighting inflammation (it noticeably improves my chronic back pain and my wife's chronic skin rashes). It puts all other curcumin supplements to shame
