Turmeric

[Liftupjoe]

Hi I have started to take take turmeric tablet once a day apparently it’s brilliant for diabetic type 1 and 2 complications, has anyone seen any benefits of taking it ????

No complication up to 1 gram and suggested to take it with black pepper for better absorption 8x. If you want the synergistic effect on your health then take it with 250mg at least resveratrol.

Bit late to reply as I see you posted this quite a while ago but I have started to take one turmeric tablet a day and don't know if a coincidence or not but since starting this, my BG has dropped quite a bit and am dealing with carbs (small amounts as am on low carb diet) much better

I took it for several months and noticed no difference. It could easily be that I didn't take enough. Berberine is also supposed to be good, Chinese research suggests that it could replace Metformin, but again I didn't notice any difference, possibly because of not taking enough. I also failed to notice any difference when taking CoQ10 while I was taking statins, again it could have been a dosage issue, or just me and the way my body metabolises these things.
