My comments about looking into curcumin as a sublingual (a liquid that you put beneath your tongue to be absorbed into the bloodstream), as well as about Maritime pine bark extract, were prompted by that link being posted earlier. It’s good research, and a good list. Not exhaustive, but they hit the ones most thoroughly backed by medical research, which can be somewhat sketchy at times on herbals.

If anyone wants to jump into this without much familiarity, I’d advise looking into any potential interactions with prescription medications. Curcumin has been shown to block the effects of chemotherapy. Many herbal anti-inflammatories have the effect of inhibiting clotting, so people taking warfarin or even aspirin therapy would be advised to discuss the matter with their doctor. Maritime pine bark extract should not be taken to excess; as best I can tell, it can provoke certain autoimmune problems due to revving things up too much. A little goes a long way. This issue is not present with less potent forms of resveratrol.
