Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been taking this supplement (youtheory) turmeric for two months now. I'm not usually too keen on taking supplements, but I was in a bad car accident several years ago and I also have an autoimmune disorder that causes chronic inflammation throughout my body. I've been in physical therapy for over three years (great physical therapy where they actually work on my muscles and joints, but I have to stay in PT to keep my pain levels down). Both my physical therapist and my pain management doctor (an anesthesiologist) recommended I try taking turmeric for inflammation. When I looked up the research on it (I don't like taking anything that isn't backed up by research), the research supported it. I looked for the most recommended brands, and youtheroy was among the top. I bought this bottle (youtherory, 120 tabs, 450mg amount per serving, three capsules a day, Amazon, $19.10 =40 day supply). I've been trying it for a few months, and I actually think I feel a marked difference in my pain levels. Especially, my hips. I haven't had my cholesterol tested yet, but I'm curious to see if there is any improvement. My problem with this supplement is this. I was in Costco today and saw exactly the same brand. Same bottle. "youtherory, turmeric,", but it says "180 vegetarian capsules", and it says, "extra strength formula". "1,000mg amount per serving, suggested use: two capsules per day. Costco normal price $36.99. Sale price, $30.99. I understand that supplemental dosage isn't an FDA regulated thing. It isn't an "anything" regulated thing. Yeah, it's "extra strength", but C"MON!!!! YOUTHEROY!!!!! At the very least have the decency to come up with your own "serving size". I know it's Costco, but this price difference when comparing the strength difference seems ridiculous. I know more isn't always better strength wise, but this all seems wrong. So I looked it up. I was pretty lazy. I'm going to copy the results from the first study I found. I'm sure you can find many others. I'm just using it as a GUIDELINE. Maybe, youtheory should try that. I'm not debating the quality of their product. Just the thoughtlessness of their dosing and pricing. Sometimes I get lazy. I just think the company is going the recommend the amount I should generally be taking. I realize now in retrospect, that was dumb. The only other supplement I take is Vitamin D, and I know I've had to take progressively higher doses over the years. But still, I don't think you should be recommending UNDER the therapeutic amount. While there is no official consensus on effective turmeric or curcumin doses, the following have been used in research with promising results (9Trusted Source, 12, 13Trusted Source): For osteoarthritis: 500 mg of turmeric extract twice daily for 2–3 months. For high cholesterol: 700 mg of turmeric extract twice daily for 3 months. For itchy skin: 500 mg of turmeric three times daily for 2 For osteoarthritis: 500 mg of turmeric extract twice daily for 2–3 months. For high cholesterol: 700 mg of turmeric extract twice daily for 3 months. For itchy skin: 500 mg of turmeric three times daily for 2 months. Yes, this was a long review, but I feel pretty strongly about this.
