Curcumin is also known as turmeric, a common and very cheap spice. Here's additional information on it, some clinical, some having to do with using it in cooking.

I don't love it, but do sprinkle some on veggies. A better cook would make it a much more interesting seasoning. You can also buy it in capsules for medicinal use. Same stuff.

THANK YOU!!! How freakin' difficult would it have been for the JBC to have put that in the article??? I was going to guess it was cumin, but cumin isn't yellow (turmeric, of course is, yellow orange). The yellow pigment in curry? That's about as concise as saying "The yummy stuff in soup". This writer is a hack.

I found out about this a few months ago, doing my online research on antioxidents. I take 3 turmeric capsules a day, along with my other antioxidents.
www.puritan.com is my fast, cheap source for vitamins and antioxidents. Right now they have turmeric at $9 a bottle of 100, buy 2, get 3 free, so for $18 you get 5 bottles (500 capsules). They ship by UPS ground, so it's cheap shipping, too, and I usually get my package in 3 days.
