I take it with my v&m, and I don’t even exercise. I went to my health club, one of those card-access storefront places, and as usual there was no one around. The manager was so happy to see another human being he came out, all talkative, with a dust mop, and started clearing all the cobwebs. :^)
We take tumeric everyday for arthritis and it works incredibly well.
Just be aware there are some side effects, too.
Dangers of curcumin include:
• Digestive symptoms, such as upset stomach and diarrhea
• Blood thinning, which can result in easier bleeding
• Iron deficiency due to binding with iron
• Liver injury
• Lead poisoning
• Allergic reactions
• Headache and nausea in some cases
• Skin rash (rare)
• Stomach irritation and kidney stones if consumed excessively
Health / life BUMP!
Be very wary of this study. Yes, some curcumin can improve muscle recovery. But too much can reduce testosterone levels significantly and men should be aware of this. In fact, there has been a study that the extreme levels of curcumin consumption among male Indians accounts for their complete lack of gold medal performance at every Olympics.
Curcumin is but one of many polyphenol dyes which a LARGE portion of people are highly allergic to. And by the way, allergy is another term for autoimmune disease.

If turnmeric is part of the ginger family, does that mean there could be health benefits to eating ginger snaps?
