 great product/ great service Dec 31, 2010
By imgwrx
the quality of the product is great! The metallic wrapping will keep it fresh forever.
I suffer from migraines, and this has been the only thing that helps, it beats any over the counter
and prescription meds. I take one teaspoon with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and within 15 minutes my pain is gone
also works wonders on my joints and muscle pain.
now I'm a believer on natural remedies, I was by far the most skeptical person, and had long arguments with my brother about it! I will only believe in what the doctor will prescribe, and was I wrong!!!
if you suffer from headaches or arthritis give this a try!! it does not taste bad at all.

Fresh and very good deal Oct 21, 2011
By Citizen John
The packaging of this spice is superior to other packaging methods I've experienced. The color is vibrant and aroma excellent. I've used this in rice dishes so far and plan to develop more ways to get it in my family's diet. I've seen on many sites and in other reviews advice to use turmeric with oil (olive oil would probably be ideal) to aid absorption. Absorption is the goal because this isn't just food; it's medicinal.
The active ingredient is curcumin. This product claims at least 5% curcumin. Turmeric typically has a range of curcumin between 2% - 6%. Curcumin is responsible for the dramatic and many health effects of this spice. It helps against inflammation, diarrhea, arthritis and a lot more. The one getting a lot of attention now is to aid against the prevention of Alzheimer disease. There are studies on this so it's not official yet. I guess it's semi-official if you think about all the doctors behind this movement and some statistics about populations that use turmeric.
The spice is agreeable in many dishes in combination with other flavors.

 How Curcumin is Absorbed Properly Jul 14, 2011
By Marie Flowers
I bought some of Frontier's organic tumeric at our local health food store. Dr. Russel Blaylock, neurosurgeon and author of The Blaylock Wellness Report says tumeric must be mixed with an oil in order to be absorbed. He suggests olive oil or fish oil.
Life Extension Foundations sells products like tumeric and they mix it with peperine (black pepper) for better absorption.
PureBulk sells powders and it says about their product: "PureBulk offers an extract of turmeric which has been standardized to 95% curcuminoids (the active constituent in turmeric)."
So I don't understand what the minimum 5% curcumin means on the Frontier product. Does it mean that PureBulk's product has 95% and this product only has 5% curcumin? Maybe someone could explain this.
I have taken the Frontier's organic product for a couple days now and it seems to help brain inflammation. My brain was poisoned when a dentist drilled into a silver amalgam filling and let the mercury vapor go into my brain. You can google my name along with mercury to find out how to avoid toxic dentistry.
PureBulk does not say their product is organic.

 Not golden yellow, but instead is medium brown in color Apr 27, 2012
By btb222
Big disappointment, as I bought three one-pound bags. I have always thought of ground turmeric as yellow in color, and indeed the product description page for this product says, "Our ground turmeric has a wonderful, golden-yellow color and a pungent, distinctive aroma." As the color is not yellow, but brown, and the aroma is mild, not pungent, I assume this product is stale. I contacted another herb vendor who confirmed turmeric should be a yellowish color. I would rate one star but the packaging was very good.

Fresh Jun 15, 2011
By Kerry Searle
"Galavantin"
Smelled fresh. I like that it said what percentage of Curcumin is in it. I've used this along with mustard powder mixed with jojoba oil on some non-malignant sarcoid tumors on a horse and they went away so it must have some anti-tumor qualities as mentioned in my research.
