Acromegaly Support Group
Acromegaly (from Greek akros "high" and megas "large" - extremities enlargement) is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (hGH). Acromegaly most commonly affects middle-aged adults and can result in serious illness and premature death. Join the group to discuss symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments.
I know there was a thread about this a while ago, but I've been reading more and more research about curcumin and wanted to bring it back into the discussion.
I've been taking some supplements for a few months, and I definitely feel better than before (but since I'm also on medication, it's difficult to determine the cause).
For those of you that have used it, can you recommend a brand that has the highest level of curcuminoids?
And for those of you not using it, I definitely suggest looking into it! The research is showing it regulates the GH/IGF-1 system, prevents and treats cancer and other tumors, reduces inflammation, and is safe - it has no known toxicity.
Anyone have any brand suggestions? Anyone else out there trying it?

I've never heard of its benefits before but worthwhile looking into.
Every morning I sprinkle about 1 tbsp each of Chia & hemp seeds as well as ground flax (I grind the flax seed in small coffee grinder & put into freezer for convenience) onto my wholegrain cereal. Have been adding raw sunflower seeds as well. I sure am nutty & seedy when I've finished my brekkie!! If nothing else, along with the glass of warm water upon arising, it keeps me regular!!! :-)
The brand is Life Extension Foundation at LEF.com. The brand also checks out favorably on consumerlabs.com.

I take NOW curcumine manufactured by Now Foods and curcumine from Dr. Best. I combine both brands so that I also get small amount of biopirine to increases the absorption. I am not shore if these two brands have the highest levels of curcuminoids (they have 95%) but they are both on positive list from consumerlab.
