Curcumin with Bioperine....

[anonymous]

This is what I take. It is made by Life Extension. Have any of you read any info on Bioperine? I actually found some really interesting and encouraging info about it's additive benefits.Here is a link to read about it: http://www.bioperine.com/usage_advantage.htmThere are several sub-links as well on the site with alot of info about it. I know with CF'ers our big problem is with the ADEK's and Bioperine helps ais in the absorption of these, as well as other vitamins and minerals (and Curcumin!) Just wanted to share!Jen 34 w/cf

Hi Dave,Well, I have only been on the Curcumin w/bioperine for just under a month, but I can tell you that I have gained a few pounds and for me that is a miracle!! But the reason I posted that about the bioperine was the fact that it's main effect is helping with GI absorption of vitamins and minerals. I haven't really noticed much in the way of my lungs, at least not yet. And I think with taking the curcumin, my bowel function has gotten better. I know I asked before about anyone else having loose stools while taking it. Well I think I figured out that it was due to the fact that I have been taking Zelnorm as well, so I actually quit taking that now. Normally I am chronically constipated, even at times while on the Zelnorm.Anyway, that's the scoop on me.Jen34 w/cf

Hi JenI've been looking around for different brands of curcumin and I've seen the curcumin w/bioperine. However, I've calculated that I need to take 2g of curcumin a day - this dosage exceeds the maximum dosage of bioperine that can be consumed daily. 10mg is the max. dosage of bioperine a day.Are you taking the 900mg capsules?Laura

Hi Laura,Yes, I am taking the 900 mg capsules 2x daily. I am hoping though that taking it with the bioperine is helping with the needed absorption of the curcumin so that I won't need to take more.Jen
