Good Day Chocolate: Turmeric 12-Pack (96 pieces) SRP: $35.99 Not that turmeric tastes bad, but everything tastes good with chocolate. Here we have fair trade unsweetened chocolate, fair trade sugar, fair trade cocoa butter and fair trade natural vanilla extract enrobing 100 mg turmeric root extract per chocolate ball.
MegaFood: Turmeric Strength for Whole Body 60 tablets SRP: $33.56 It starts with turmeric root from Kauai Organic Farms and then adds in turmeric extract to provide 481 mg of curcumin per serving. And just to help in the bioavailability effort, BioPerine black pepper extract helps with absorption.
Nordic Naturals: Curcumin Gummies 60 gummies SRP: $25.46 Gummies are a great way to take nutrients, if you can get past the sugar. Nordic does just that by providing sweetness through xylitol, a low-calorie sweetener that’s also healthy for teeth. It uses the patented Longvida brand of curcumin, at 100 mg per non-GMO gummy. The clinically supported dose of Longvida is at least 400 mg, so take four and you’re good to go.
Ora Organic: You’re Golden 90 organic tablets SRP: $29.99 Everything’s organic from this hipper-than-thou supplement company out of San Francisco that appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank." Organic turmeric and turmeric extract is hepped up with organic black pepper extract. Supplement companies are starting to get certified as non-GMO, and Ora goes the extra mile to get certified organic.
Redd Remedies: Curcumin Chewable 60 chewable tablets SRP: $27.99 As the saying goes, turmeric is the tree but curcumin is the apple. And actually, it’s not the curcumin but three curcuminoids—the apple skin, if you will—that provides the biological effect. Redd uses Curcumin C3 Complex, a special, non-GMO ingredient that hones in on the bull’s-eye. The C3 Reduct takes the anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin but actually removes the golden-yellow color. That way you can chew away on these tablets without your mouth turning the color of a sunflower field at sunrise.

Inflammation, as we all know by now, is at the root of most chronic degenerative diseases. And there doesn’t seem to be any better natural ingredient that does such a good job on inflammation as curcumin. We’re now seeing lots of different ingredients, usually to heighten its notoriously difficult bioavailability and absorption. And we’re also seeing different delivery formats, so you can get your curcumin on in a number of new ways. Cool!
