Turmeric - Golden Latte

Anything that works is worth trying but be aware that turmeric is not recommended for anyone taking blood thinners (that may include aspirin!) or medication for diabetes. May also not work with regular use of antacids. 

From my experience it is quick but also wears off fast too! Hence me trying the capsules today.

Hello Ladies,
thank you for your comments.
The last few weeks I had joint pain and aching muscles ... thanks to Tamoxifen.
3 days ago I started now to drink one 'Golden Latte' a day ... the pain is nearly gone .. I was just wondering if Turmeric is working that quick ??

Hello,
I also use it a lot in cooking. I know there has been some research that shows promise with regard to reducing inflammation and consequently cancer in the body. There are links to breast and bowel cancers. Nothing proven yet.
However, I have found it very helpful in reducing pain associated with arthritis and Femara associated joint pain. I just today bought some Curcumin (the part of turmeric that is associated with helping reduce inflammation) capsules to try. I have read that the capsules are better than tablets. Personally I prefer to use the real thing as much as possible as I think the body naturally gets more from foods than supplements. However, the benefits I have experienced pain wise have meant that I am keen to try the capsules for days when I don't have turmeric in food form.
Reading the bottle it also suggests that it can be helpful in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and in relieving Irritable Bowel Symptoms. Will be worth a try to see if it gives me even more relief from the joint pain.  :)

Hi Stemi, I take high dose turmeric for joint pain while I am on Letrazole. Have been on glucosamine for years, but the anti-inflammatory effect of turmeric really helps my aches.

Hi there.

i am not taking it per se but I include it in my cooking. Mainly on my roast veg. Fresh or powdered. I try to use organic turmeric too.
