Which Curcumin supplement?

Postby nzjez » Thu Jul 11, 2019 10:34 pm

Just wondering if there are any preferred types of curcumin supplements (to help reduce colon inflammation or prevent recurrence of cancer)?
Seems like quite a few different options (C3 complex, with peperine, curcumoids, BCM-95, etc...)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Male, Dx 39
Stage 4c (T3N2bM1c 21/47 LNs)
BRAF mutation KRAS wild type
2018-11 - Colon resection
2018-12 - CAPOX Chemo started
2019-03 Clear CT
CEA 7/19 0.8
2019-09 PET/CT found metastasis in peritoneal
2019-10 Laparoscopy found a single peri met, CRS/HIPEC option offered.
2019-11 CRS/HIPEC surgery 3 peri mets removed.

Here is an older topic for your review, including one of my own posts.
Curcumin Dose

I regularly check the sites mentioned in MY OWN post, for info about concerns with different products etc.
I personally do not rely on curcumin for prevention of cancer recurrence
( having had a recurrence while on it for other reasons )
BUTT ..... YMMV
