In August 2014, Tom Lee and his parents drove out to visit Severalls Hospital, a former in-patient psychiatric hospital. Closed since the 1990s, as part of a nationwide shuttering of psychiatric institutions, the buildings now stand derelict and overgrown. But in the recent past, the name 'Severalls' resounded with dread and fear, entering local lexicon as a place where the strange, deranged and dangerous were 'kept away'. Among those strange, deranged and dangerous people were Tom's own parents.The Bullet is a memoir of their time in Severalls, and the breakdowns and difficulties that led them there - often against their will. It is also Tom's own story of his struggle with his fragmenting mental health - a hereditary bullet he believed he'd dodged - and the extraordinary physical crises that precipitated them. Deeply moving, clear-sighted and enormously poignant, The Bullet is a window onto the treatment of mental health disorders in the UK, and a searing analysis of living with a fracturing mind.

After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
The Amazon ad for this product is so ambiguous that I thought I should do some research before taking this supplement. After AN HOUR AND A HALF of googling, for information I've decided to give this 2 stars. Initially, I was thinking 4 stars (that would have been 5 stars, but I'm not happy about all the googling I had to do about the ingredients), but I decided to lower it because after a great deal of research, I'm still not sure if I should take the label's full recommended dosage, or something lower. But I'm going to start here with the positive:
The main things that convinced me to order it it is that it's made in the USA in an FDA registered facility that is GMP certified. and it's 3rd party lab tested. But even though that put my mind to rest about production, the ingredient list is ambiguous, and since there's no Medical Recommended Dosage, I want to know what a safe amount to take is.
The ingredients and amount of the supplement provided are MUCH too ambiguous label says that 3 caps provides 1800 mg of organic turmeric (cucurma longa root), and 150 mg of turmeric 95% curcuminoids (cucurma longa root). So what's the difference between these 2 ingredients? And what does it mean, anyway?
I read down the entire page, and at the bottom the Product Description notes that "each serving delivers 1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids". But that doesn't explain much. Does that mean that the entire 1950 mg is curcuminoids? Why are the amounts listed sepaerately in the ingredient list?
I googled for information about the different ingredients, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Here's what I found:
* A page on the NIC (official US government site) notes that "curcumin is a major component of turmeric, and the activities of turmeric are commonly attributed to curcuminoids (curcumin and closely related substances)".
* Another NIC page, noted "In Curcuma longa, crude extract curcuminoid makes up 1–6% of turmeric by weight, distributed in 60–70% curcumin...whereas commercially available curcumin contains about 77% in curcuminoids."
* On a page for a vitamin company (not the manufacturer/distributer for this particular product), I read "Curcumin 95 is a botanical extract from turmeric root spice. Curcumin 95 contains 95% curcuminoids."
But the label is so confusing. Does that mean that 95% of the entire "1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids" is the amount in 3 caps? Or is it 95% of the 150 mg of the turmeric 95% curcuminoids, listed as an ingredient?
And what's a safe amounts to take. The results vary a lot. A page on the Arthritis Foundation site says, "In one small randomized controlled trial, twice daily doses of either 250 or 500 mg of curcumin were compared to placebo. Both doses significantly outperformed placebo on all measures." This site also recommends taking a supplement that includes black pepper (as this does) "for better bioavailability".

Turmeric curcumin & black pepper
These capsules come in a freshness and safety sealed bottle. They’re pretty large, but the vegan cellulose capsules swallow easily with a little water. A serving is 3 capsules, You really smell the black pepper extract and turmeric when you open the bottle.
The suggested use is to take them 20-30 minutes before a meal.

This is a good one
I really like these for inflammation reduction. That means a more comfortable, more pain-free body. I feel less achy when using these and that helps me through my day. They don't need to be taken (by me anyway) every day. These generally keep the aches and pains beat back so I have more comfortable movement and feel the effects of getting older noticeably less. They just help me feel generally more healthy.

"Solid credentials and nice presentation"...
The product presents as a professional well made product. The site page could be improved a tad with details just to match up with the product received.
"FDA registered" is a requirement so it's not an over-and-beyond move. However, GMP certified and 3rd party lab tested are and are nice pluses.
Capsule size is MEDIUM.
MG per capsule is 600 MG or more based on the label which is pretty good. Black pepper is known to aid in absorption so you always want to see that with turmeric and some other supplements that benefit from its addition.
Made in the USA is great. Ingredients are sourced domestically and globally. It would be nice to know where they come from outside of the USA.
This is a very solid option for turmeric.
