amazing supplement
As pointed out by other reviewers, the Longvida brand of curcumin is THE best. If you want a detailed look at the evidence, check out this video:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdpU9BSi2Zc<br />Basically, Longvida maximizes bioavailability of FREE curcumin, (as opposed to glucuronidated curcumin).  Free curcumin is the only form that can cross the blood brain barrier and exert effects on the brain.  Other brands fail to increase levels of free curcumin at all really.  So the difference is VERY IMPORTANT.<br /><br />That's the science, but everyone likes anecdotes better, right?  So I just want to say that this supplement, along with a few other things, has had a major, huge, enormous impact on my mood, clarity of thought, and anxiety.  Before I started, I was a wreck.  I couldn't read a book or watch an episode of tv---&#34;normal&#34; people's methods of relaxation---without becoming anxious.  I was trying out SSRI's, but they were proving to be useless.  After starting this, along with a few other things, I'm 90% better.<br /><br />What about the &#34;few other things&#34;?  Well, they include pregnenolone, NAC, probiotics, and a fluctuating roster of other herbs, and they're helping a lot too...but I estimate that curcumin is doing ~50% of the heavy lifting.  When I ran out of this stuff, my OCD returned with a vengenace, my mood plummeted; I was better as soon as I resumed taking it.<br /><br />So check this stuff out, and don't think of it as a purely &#34;anti-aging&#34; supplement.  That's what it's marketed as, but it's a powerful anti-inflammatory, and everyone in any kind of disease-state is likely to have inflammation going on.
