Igennus Longvida Lipidated Curcumin 500mg, Ultra Bioavailable & Sustained Action, 65x Higher Plasma Levels, Intensive Support, Free-Form Curcumin, Vegan, 30 Capsules

I ordered this supplement hoping for some relief from arthritic symptoms in my feet. (I have not been diagnosed with arthritis; basically my feet were just really stiff and sore in the morning such that it was difficult to even walk upon first rising from bed— which I attributed to some sort of inflammation.)In addition, it had been suggested by my psychiatrist that I might consider taking turmeric for its mental health benefits. Apparently there is research showing that some mental illness (Alzheimer’s and depression, for example) may be caused or exacerbated by an inflammation of the brain itself— and that an anti-inflammatory diet may help relieve these symptoms.I had purchased some curcumin supplements from Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco (which has an extremely well-stocked section of herbs, tinctures, supplements, etc— and is probably the overall best grocery store in the United States), but then did some more research about curcumin’s bioavailability etc. and it started to seem like the Longvida formulation would be most effective, so I went on Amazon (I live in New York so couldnt go back to Rainbow to look for it unfortunately...) and saw that the Longvida forumlation was being sold by a number of different companies.Igennus’ offering seemed reasonably priced and I appreciated them telling a little bit about the company in their product listing. Also they are based in Cambridge and although they claim no affiliation with the University, I just sort of associate Cambridge with high-level intelligence and success, good breeding etc. (I’m only partially joking about that bit.)Anyway I ordered the supplements, they came like the next day or something (thanks Amazon, very convenient— although I do have serious questions about your labor practices, and about your effect on small “brick and mortar” retail businesses etc., although on the other hand your platform enables a small company like Igennus to sell their product around the globe to many people who might not otherwise have had access to it, so— complicated) and I began taking them, starting with two a day right off. About that time I received an email from Igennus directly, which contained a nutritionist’s advice about the product and how to take it, as well as some answers to frequently asked questions etc. I really appreciated this and got a sense that they they truly do stand behind their product and honestly care about the well-being and improved health of their customers. Of course this could just be good marketing, but it worked on me, and more importantly the product itself has worked tremendously. I can report nearly complete relief from the physical symptoms that led me to seek out this supplement. The mental symptoms... well, perhaps not so much but we’ll see!To sum up (and perhaps could have skipped all this discussion but hopefully it’s of use to someone), I am very satisfied with both seller and product— five stars well deserved!

Been taking this Curcumin for a few years now, after my retina specialist referred me to it in preparation for surgery to discourage scar tissue formation. It worked great and later discovered its usefulness to alleviate joint pain. Still take it today, several times each day. Still works well.

Longvida is a patented form of curcumin, and one of the most effective forms. It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier when most don't, so it can actually improve cognitive functioning, while still providing excellent anti-inflammatory protection throughout the body.This product, therefore, is excellent, and at one of the best prices I've found. I have bought it several times now and plan to continue re-ordering it going forward. I only wish my mother, who lives in another country, had access to it.

I don't know. My mind seems to be a little more clear. I remember easier. I can't tell if it's from the item or not. Time will tell. Too early now.

Works for me. It took about a week to make a difference but I definitely have less aches and pains. I will buy again

My husband really likes this product.

I can't really say if its helping yet or not. I have an issue with my eyesight and I will give this product a year and see if the issue is getting any better. I have a friend also that is taking this supplement. We will see.

Supposed to work for inflammation, I have neuroinflammation. Not sure if it's making a huge difference but this brand was tested at UCLA and found to not have the lead and other toxins many curcumin brands have. So I'm taking it every other day.
