Curcumin for mental acuity [View all]

first, my experience-
I was suffering extreme brain fog, possibly from Lyme, possibly for various other reasons. I've been taking curcumin for 3 weeks. I took it for the pain, was not thinking about it for cognitive benefit.
after 2 weeks I noticed that my brain fog has totally lifted.

second, there is a wealth of studies about curcumin proving its benefit, and in India there is a very low rate of alzheimer's and dementia, which is thought to be a result of all the curry people eat. (containing turmeric which is source of curcumin.)

I take curcumin by capsule, between 600 and 1000 mg a day. And to be absorbed - curcumin taken alone is very hard to absorb- take it with pepper and oil.
