CURCUMIN with vioperine was the topic on brain fogginess as being very effective. Do you have any information on that subject? Thank you

This product contains less than 5% curcumin. It's mostly whole turmeric. It won't help your brain in any way, nor will it provide anti-inflammatory effects fake reviewers tout. Only the "Longvida" product has been proven to cross the blood-brain-barrier and help the brain. This product won't do anything like that.

I do know that Curcumin has benefits to the brain by reducing the alzheimers causin amyloid plaques that build up in the brain. I'm sure this would help with the brain fog. The bioperine (black pepper) helps with absorbsion of the tumeric in the body.

It looks like they are getting this question a lot. I found this website http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Research/New-research-suggests-top-selling-brain-supplement-does-what-it-says-on-the-tin which looks pretty bogus, touting just what you are asking for. I have a feeling researching nutraingredients-usa would take you back to a web hosting company that the makers of FF paid to post this. Just my gut feeling, I'm not going to waste my time digging. Consumer's Report has a reputation for telling it like it is, mostly.

I have never heard of anything needing black pepper for absorption. I would be highly skeptical of any such statement. I have used Meriva and other turmeric curcumin products for a long time and have never thought of using black pepper with it. Meriva and Curaphen are quite effective.

I've tried both products. I tried Alpha GPC first. It was helpful in clearing my mental fog and also seemed to aide in dialogue (forming sentences etc.). When I tried Alpha Brain I was pretty disappointed. I felt no noticeable difference in focus, memory, or dream enhancement, even a higher dose (1 vs. 2 capsules). I would recommend Alpha GPC.

The herb rhodiola promotes mental focus. I've tried several different brands from vitamin stores, gnc, supermarkets... Nutrilite has been by far the most effective though expensive but worth it. It's a proprietary blend of the rhodiola herb plus caffeine creating a sustained no crash focus that's nonaddictive and still allows you to sleep. Give it a try!

I had to go back and read my review of this product. The bottom line from my review is that there are far cheaper products than this that use the Longvida TM product. If you notice, there are those who got great results from the curcumin product. I was not one of them. As you may notice, there are those like me who have not gotten the expected benefit of curcumin. To help those people, I suggested a product from Swanson which is half the cost of this curcumin. The product is called PQQ. It is a natural B vitamin derivative that has improved my health in multiple areas.

Supposedly these are the proven ingredients: Huperzine (HUP), Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC), Vinpocetine (VIN). I'd like to add that I took this for 2 months and it didn't seem to help me with my memory, focus or mind clarity. It was a big waste of money!!

Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change. Tendons take a long time to heal even when the cause of the inflammation is gone such as a repetitive motion. I had tendonitis in both elbows from my job and it took a year to resolve without curcumin at the time. Even if you do not see discernable improvement, curcumin is worth taking anyway. This particular product is high quality. I chose it after thorough research. Interestingly, research shows just taking a moderate amount is more effective than a large dose so 500mg should be enough. Hope your pain is soon improved. Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change.

Check out this article. It helps to shed light on which curcumin product is actually more effective, and takes out the confusion. It's an article about BCM-95 (whats in this product) vs. Meriva (the liposomal version). http://www.europharmausa.com/press-releases/97/april-14-2011-europharmas-bcm-95-curcumin-superior-in-absorption-/

Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox! Sorry to hear of what may have been an unwelcome experience but this is why in my Detox book Detox Your Body in 3 Steps: How to Detox Your Body Using Detox Supplements Superfoods, And Simple Home Detox Techniques taking the Detox formulas was the last stage of Detox! And that was followed by weeks of prep!I hope you won't give up on Detox but maybe go at it step by step next time! However horrible it is to see what looks like acne on your face and elsewhere it is much better than having those toxins sitting inside you!Honest!:-) Seems like the amount of detox herbs in the teabags really were strong enough to trigger a detox!

Greetings ! I have never taken anything else other than this product. I can say that over a 2-3 month period of consistent use I have what I believe to be a great improvement in my cognitive memory as well as focus.

Remember Dumbo (good name choice) who could fly ONLY when he had the 'magic' feather in his mouth? Why be angry at this smart company? If the word, "Migraine" is the 'magic feather' for someone with a headache, buy that, and be thankful it works for you. (The regular Excedrin works equally well for me!)
