May have helped swelling - but no pain relief
I really like the ingredients in this product which is the reason it was my 1st choice when I decided to try curcumin. Another plus - the product description stated GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), although GMP did not appear on my bottle.<br />Alas after taking suggested dosage of 2 daily for 30 days - results are minimal. I am free of the swelling that accompanies my achilles tendonitis, but I got no pain relief.<br /><br />I have pain from long term achilles tendonitis + pain in the opposite leg. I am pain free after taking Ibuprofen or Naproxen for 30 days, but the pain returns a day after I stop. I wanted to try curcumin to avoid long term NSAID use. I was especially hopeful of this product because there are added ingredients for fast pain relief - but I got none.<br /><br />A note on GALLSTONES: If you search on CURCUMIN & GALLSTONES you will find the following:<br /> &#34;Do NOT take curcumin if you have gallstones.&#34;<br /> &#34;Take curcumin to CURE gallstones.&#34;<br />I have gallstones (discovered by a scan for something else), but they do not cause me any problems.<br />Taking this product for 30 days did not cause me any problems.
