Turmeric Force 60 Capsules

Hey, this may be a great herb and helpful natural product, but nowhere does this page tell what exactly is in the capsule. How much of what exactly are you getting. It is unwise and unsafe to take natural remedies of unknown strength.

Get something else: another brand that quantifies its ingredients.

*I'm adding a bit to my review (5 months later)since many think I've been unfair and I've blasted this product. So, though I stand by everything I said about being cautious about what's in any natural remedy, I've been given the link to the maker's website and told by several that this is a very good product.


The maker's website:

So let me restate my point: Before you buy and consume any natural remedy or product make sure you know what is in it exactly and how much of it. People have actually died taking such substances without first checking out their safety.

That's it. I don't really understand how that's a controversial or negative point of view, but there you have it.

New Chapter - Turmericforce, 60 softgels I have been using this product for three years and find that it really helps eliminate my arthritis pain. Since I have been using it, I have had little to no stiffness in my hips and fingers, and rarely have pain in my knees. Please note that you have to take this herb for about three months before you start to see significant results. I have tried other brands of turmeric, and this one seems to be the most effective.

I suffer from a digestive disorder called crohn's disease (that is symptomatic of inflammation of the gut from the mouth to the anus), and as you could immagine it comes with all sorts of discomforting problems. I started using this product a few weeks ago, and I can't really say that I have noticed a benefit right now because I was in remmission and unsymptomatic before I started taking it, but I remain stable. The benifits are amazing. I just hope this will help my body find and remain in a stable state. From what I've read in the literature this product can only help.

Here is some basic information I found online:
