Jeepers Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Not sure where to put this but here seems as good a place as any. The last time I was at Sam's Club I picked up some Turmeric soft chews. I was going to get some capsules but these caught my eye. I'm so tired of taking pills. Anyway... If you like tart candy these are really good. They are soft and chewy and nearly melt in your mouth. They are tropical flavored with a little tang to them. To me they taste tart and fruity. They are individually wrapped, gluten free, no artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors or preservatives and are made in the USA. Recommended dosage is 1-2 a day. They are cheaper at Sam's Club and come in a 90 pack for $19.97. Not too bad for a 3 month supply. I've seen them online at the same price for only 30 of them. So, if you are thinking about taking turmeric and like tart candy, you might be interested in these. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I really like them, but you really need black pepper to get the piperazine (or whatever it is) that makes the turmeric bioavailable. Otherwise you just tint the toilet bowl a bit more. Maybe you should eat them immediately before or after a meal that has black pepper in it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 And remember that turmeric is high oxalate if one tends to get that type of kidney stone! 2 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanks Miki! I didn't know that. I'm hoping one a day will help with my arthritis. 1 Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 We take the Tumeric capsules but heavily pepper our eggs at breakfast. I have some in containers for another time and can cap them myself using fine ground pepper...AND using gloves! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I buy these: AmazonSmile: Healthy Delights Naturals - Turmeric Curcumin Soft Chews - Promotes Healthy Inflammation Response - 100 mg of Turmeric per Chew - Delicious Tropical Fruit Flavor - 30 Count: Health & Personal Care I first bought them at Sam's Club a long time ago. Then I found out I wasn't getting over there often enough to buy them. I looked on line and found the same thing at Amazon without driving ten miles to get them. I have to say that they taste really good too! 2 Quote Link to comment
Mother Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Turmeric is a great herb for inflammation but like most anti-inflammatories (ginger, garlic, aspirin, aleve, etc) it is also a blood thinner. Good to know if we are ever in a SHTF situation and can't get warfarin or whatever blood thinner a person is on but it also is hard to control the dosage. And as Ambergris said a few years back on this thread, it is more bioavailable if taken with pepper. 1 Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I make my own capsules with Tumeric powder, Cayenne powder and fine ground black Pepper. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 That's the way to go We2. They say pepper helps boost turmeric but my mouth is so darn sensitive. Even mild Taco Bell burns my mouth. I love the taste but can barely take the heat. Quote Link to comment
Mother Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Jeepers, just the black pepper alone acts as a carrier and it doesn't take a lot to do it. I make a turmeric drink with coconut milk and use black pepper and a little nutmeg in it. You really don't notice the pepper. 1 Quote Link to comment
