Finding the Most Effective Turmeric

At USA Consumer Report we have recently been getting a huge number of requests for us to review the newest supplement craze to sweep the nation, Turmeric Curcumin, which many nutritionists, doctors, and scientists have actually called “life-changing.” The buzz all began when a famous Daytime TV Doctor started praising Turmeric Curcumin, a plant which grows in Southeast Asia, for being a pure and natural way to not only improve mood and manage depression, but as a natural side effect free anti-inflammatorypain reduceranti-oxidant and detoxifier. With claims like that we felt it was time for us to investigate. 

Our initial survey found an overwhelming amount of positive reviews from everyday people using Turmeric Curcumin supplements, users consistently were reporting:

  • dramatic relief from the painful swelling of inflammation
  • reduction and, in many cases, reversal of the signs of premature aging
  • massive positive spikes in mood and energy levels
  • immediate and long-lasting relief from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA)

With absolutely zero of the side effects that you would have from over-the-counter medications.

The only problem was that there were so many turmeric supplements on the market! As always, supplement companies had gotten wind of the growing evidence behind turmeric and had flooded the market with countless new products.

That’s when we at USA Consumer Report decided that it was time to sort through the countless turmeric brands and find the ones that worked.

Our Research Approach

First, we ran a complete analysis on each product ourselves to make sure that they contained the right ingredients at the effective dosage. This step alone eliminated nearly half of the turmeric brands we tested; it turned out that many companies either included ineffective, low doses of turmeric or simply lied about the amount of turmeric in their product.

Then, we surveyed thousands of people who had actually used these products – so we could understand the full experience users had with these brands. Lastly, we took a close look at online marketplaces like Amazon and Ebay to see what actual customers were saying about each specific brand, carefully noting everything from how companies treated their customers to how long it took users to see real results.

We then combined all these factors so we could give complete and comprehensive reviews on the best Turmeric Curcumin supplement products available today.

Key Review Factors

Potency: For a Turmeric Curcumin supplement to be effective, it has to have at least 1,000 mg of Turmeric, containing 95% curcumin plus 5 mg of patented Bioperine® (Piperine Extract) for increased absorption.

BEWARE OF LOW GRADE TURMERIC Many companies try and cut corners by using cheap synthetic turmeric curcumin to fill their capsules.  A Turmeric brand must have a daily dosage of 1000 mg. with 95% standardized curcumin and contain Biperine® to aid in absorption.

Price: We combed through thousands of reviews from online marketplaces to determine which had the most top rated reviews so we could assess which products really work. You want a company with an established reputation. If they don’t have positive reviews, avoid buying from them.

Customer Service: The quality of a company’s customer service can mean the difference between a seamless, pleasant buying experience and an absolute nightmare. You don’t want to get stuck with a company that doesn’t treat their customers with respect. Unless you’re one of the lucky few who always has things go their way, stick to companies with a solid reputation of quality customer service.

Guarantee: It is important to find a company who has a “no hassle” money-back guarantee. You don’t want to be wasting your time arguing with a company that won’t let you return a product that is not working for you. If a company won’t stand behind their product with a 90-Day Money Back Guarantee, take that as a red flag.

1MD’s Turmeric is a potent and natural supplement for joint and bone health. Effective amounts of curcuminoids and a predominantly organic ingredient list are the reasons why this supplement is widely used and highly rated. The slight compromise on curcuminoids and bioperine in favor of an herbal filler knocks half a letter grade off of this otherwise stellar product.

Organic with an effective dosage, yet extracted at a lower concentration. Effective amounts of curcumin with boswelia serrata extract for bioavailability but no bioperine is the reason why this supplement takes fourth place for 2023.

A potent supplement despite the lower quantity of curcuminoids per serving. Effective amounts of bioperine in a pure concentration of curcuminoids makes this a top-ranked supplement but the low dosage and use of kosher beef gelatin (NOT vegan friendly) is why this supplement takes fifth place for 2023.
