I think i like the taste of this one better than the mediclear plus. What is the difference between the two...just the curcumin?

I've heard there is a lot of Turmeric in Mediclear Plus. Makes it more yellow and harder to mix with other flavors, especially fruit, so mediclear plus smoothies are out of the question for me. That said, turmeric is great for you. Use it in fish or curry.

Ive never used it for the taste honestly. I use it for the protein and detox. Its not an Atkins Protein drink. LOL.

I'm not sure, but Dr. Mercola's Liposomal C is and its in caplets, which are much easier and better to take because there's no nasty taste. I like them more and its cheaper in volume.

I have used both and can notice no difference in effectiveness. I find the capsules easier to travel with.

It is going to depend a lot on what is causing the pain. You are likely aware of studies finding that it is as good or better than corticosteroids for some things however if you are like me and your inflammation and pain is from sugar and poor diet choices it will not be as effective, That said, I take it because of all the additional benefits of Curcumin many of which you just can't measure over a short period of time and I dont want to discourage you . Unfortunately you won't know how fast or how much your pain will be relieved until you try it. Thats my experience anyway! Great product to spend money on though if it is affordable to you.

I'm not sure myself on which is better. I've only used the Clear & Natural (with inulin).

Without comparing and contrasting the ingredients and dosage for both brands I can say that the minute I use the Source Naturals I feel almost an instant boost. An awareness that tells me I probably should have been supplementing topical progesterone for some time. Other than that over time both creams gradually improve my symptoms (night/day sweats, lethargy, craving sweets). Both creams absorb at the same rate for me with little to no residue remaining. I guess the only real contrast (to me) is the somewhat unpleasant fragrance of the Source Naturals compared to the Emerita. I think it takes experimenting with each cream to see which will work best. (** I am 51 & in perimenopause)

I dont know the difference. This is a very good product in the 6 months Ive had it. I had a different type previously ... heavier, gave a different type of massage ... but i cant say it was better or not. I do like this one.

I suspect the fresh form is better but most people will want to purchase the ground form. Easier to use and they will not have to grow it in their back yard. It may not degrade much from being ground and stored because evidently the health benefits remain after cooking. This particular brand is not as processed as some others that I have used -- it is coarser and softer and slightly moist. I have read that carrots and garlic become healthier if you dice them more finely. This may be a nice compromise between the raw root and the finely ground dry powders that I often find. This is my favorite brand so far. I want to start gardening but not waste time on turmeric as long as I can get this brand from Amazon.

I buy mine @ Wal-mart, they all seem about the same, it is the quantity you take that matters. Just because it costs more, doesn't necessarily mean it is better. I'm sorry, I can't really rate one over the other. I take 2 capsules 3x a day of the triple strength I buy @ Wal-mart along with the milled flaxseed I get in the flour section & I have minimal knee & joint pain.

While I can see a difference in granulated garlic and garlic powder I am not sure there is any difference as this is like a powdered texture. The taste is on the sweeter side. I love this brand and have been using it for a couple years.

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-/

I cant tell you the difference, but medipore was the only tape my wifes skin could tolerate for prolonged use as asurgical dressing.

Hi...I understand your indecision. It's difficult to make a decision on this type of product.I normally go by the claims, how it is processed, and have a good look at the nutritionallabel information. I've used #1 nutrition krill but not the Now brand. Hope this is helpful!

I personally like the capsules. They last longer than the liquid. And work just as well. I hope this helps.

BCM-95 is actually made by Arjuna Naturals and is available in other brands as well. The "liposomal" issue relates to the issue of poor absorption of plain curcumin. It was speculated that the lower rate of Alzheimer's in India is due to curcumin in the diet, but what would make it absorbed better so as to account for this result? It was thought that the answer was the way it was prepared....using oil. So, Arjuna created and tested BCM-95, which proved to be much better absorbed. Here is what they say about it: "BCM-95 combines curcumin with high essential turmeric oils and thus makes it 7 times more bioavailable and 12 hours of retention in blood compared to 95% curcumin extracts. Mainly because of the fact of high absorption, the product has been taken by many prestigious universities worldwide for various clinical trials. " So "liposomal" means "with lipids", and lipids are fats and oils. So, BCM-95 uses curcumin oils. Other "liposomal" preparations may use other oils where the curcumin and oils are heated and mixed. Some people use lecithin plus oil to make their own, but I don't know how effective this is. I know another approach to the problem is the conjugating the curcumin with fenugreek, called CurQFen. Both result in better absorption and a timed release effect. In any case, if you focus on the issue of absorption rather than the terminology, I think you won't go wrong.

Okay here's my theory b/c it does seem like the exact thing. For me the liposomal process is done all at once and sold this way. Where as the lypo-spheric has a combination of similar ingredients that activates to liposomal when you prepare to take it. Not sure which is better since there isn't much info that I could find rt now. I personally make my own liposomal vitamin c. So when I was reading about lypo-spheric it seems almost like the same process but activates once you open and use. I could be wrong. I will keep researching .....just didn't want to leave you hanging without some kind of answer. In my opinion you would thrive on both products. Thank you so much for asking this question because I didn't even know there was an lypo-spheric product out there. I need to look into this more!!!!
