After taking 2 capsules daily faithfully for 2 months, I feel that I am qualified to write this review. This has worked amazingly well for me. I can recommend it without reservation because it has worked for me.This is who I am: I am a 50 year old female who has exercised consistently for 32 years. I am a certified personal fitness trainer with a degree in nutrition, and have personally applied everything I know and teach throughout my life. I have engaged 6-7 times a week in a variety of exercises, both to increase and maintain fitness levels, and avoid injury. Consequently, I have been blessed to enjoy excellent health and high energy levels. I have maintained the same weight (about 125-128 lbs) since adulthood except in pregnancy. I have never had joint pain in my life...until about a year ago. I awoke one morning with extreme pain and instability in my right knee so severe that I could barely walk. This was bizarre to say the least--the day before I ran 2 miles and felt completely normal. Long story short, after several weeks of ice and compression and Ibuprofen, it improved to the point that I could walk but it was still stiff and unstable. I finally got in to see an Ortho who dx an issue with my medial meniscus but X-rays revealed nothing. The Dr. prescribed meloxicam 15 mg/day. It worked immediately, but I had to stop taking it because after only a few days I had terrible side effects-- like huge canker sores in my mouth and sores on my scalp. I took Ibuprofen only occasionally as I do not like to take any medicine. After 2 months my knee felt better, but still with a considerable amount of inflammation which reduced my range of motion.. After several more months I began re-introducing normal activities--carefully. Out of the blue I had another similar episode. MRI revealed slight a degenerative tear to the medial meniscus. The pain, inflammation, and instability was not as responsive to the Ibuprofen as I had hoped, so I cut the Meloxicam into 3.75 mg pieces and took that for 4 days. Even though it helped, I decided that I would not take it again because the known side effects for long term (and even short term) use are well documented and not at all acceptable for me.I began researching alternatives. I already take Fish Oil and Glucosamine/Chondroitin. I found the research on Turmeric and was intrigued. I chose Dr. Olivia because I felt a sense of trust in her philosophy, and I was encouraged by all the positive reviews.Now for my review: I started taking this the day I received it--March 10--WHILE I was still having pain and inflammation. I took nothing else other than the fish oil and osteo-bi-flex. I started feeling improvement within the first 2-3 weeks but thought I was just my imagination. It was NOT my imagination. My knee feels completely back to normal. There is no pain or inflammation and I have resumed all regular activities--except distance running. I think those days are over! I truly believe that this product delivers as promised. I have already told all of my friends about my experience, and plan to continue using it as long as it is available. NOTE: Several reviewers have remarked that it caused an upset stomach. I have experienced this. I take both capsules with my evening meal.By the way, I paid full price for this. I was given NOTHING in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

I have been taking Turmeric for years, have experimented by trying upwards of a dozen brands in my quest to find the most effective and beneficial formulation. While this is not the cheapest brand, this is the one I have chosen for many reasons. It contains synergistic ingredients that my research tells me are important for maximum absorption, has no GMO’s or lead, and contains the maximum amount of Curcuminoids, 95%. I find most others are lacking, compared to Dr. Olivia’s formulation.. Dr. Olivia’s Turmeric just seems to work better for me.Why do I take it? I have a terribly arthritic knee that desperately needs replacing, and without this Turmeric I find it almost impossible to walk. With it, I have minimal discomfort. It is that effective. My orthopedic surgeon is in constant amazement, and can’t understand how I can walk at all, under any circumstances. I know that the Turmeric is responsible for my lack of symptoms because if I forget to take it for a few days, my knee manages to remind me. I start taking it again, and within a day or two, the pain subsides. It has happened too many times to be a coincidence. Who wouldn’t opt to take daily capsules instead of going through a painful surgery and recovery? In the future, I may opt to have my knee replaced, but Dr. Olivia’s turmeric allows me to control my surgical destiny.If you have any joint issues, do yourself a favor; it is a small enough purchase to make, to potentially change your life into one of increased mobility and drastically lessened pain. …..and I haven’t even touched on its other proven health benefits.

Excellent product, a bit expensive. Thought I'd do a trial comparison vs. the less expensive version available at the local Costco. Still in the middle of the trial, so far seems to be comparable in effect with respect to my personal symptoms [mainly a persistently recurring trigger finger]. I plan to write an addendum to this review at the conclusion of my trial use, which will conclude with another course of the Costco version for a couple of weeks, then this version again. Obviously this is not a statistically significant trial, but I'm only one person!

This product is like a God Send. It finally cured the chronic inflammation in both of my shoulders due to weightlifting which affected my ordinarily good sleeping habits. The pain was so bad that it would keep me awake at nights. I had to be put on Ambien due to my sleep disorder and supplement that with NSAIDS. Now with this product, the pain went away in less than 2 weeks. I will definitely buy again or suffer the consequences of not doing so. Of course, being a supplement, I was skeptical at first, but when I saw the word "inflammation," I took a chance on it and am very glad I did.As for the heartburn problem reported by some. Yes I, too, experienced this side-effect, but this was a very small inconvenience when one considers what the product did for me. I alleviated that problem by taking Tums, which relieves heartburn. The active ingredient per tablet is Calcium Carbonate USP 1000mg., and it is marketed to go to work in seconds.All prescription drugs have side effects and nutritional supplements are no exception. One has to weigh the benefits vs risks ratio to decide whether a product is good for you. In my case, the heartburn was a side-effect that I fixed with the above solution versus the alternative of taking Naproxen (NSAID) which has the side-effect of reduced kidney function or kidney damage if too much is taken. It said so right on the Naproxen label and I was not comfortable with that as I was going through a bottle pretty fast. This is pretty effective for treating the symptoms of inflammation. I tried the much safer, acetaminophen, but it did nothing for the pain. Only the NSAIDS worked. I had to use it because the severe pain would wake me up in the night. One day, two days passed and I could not sleep.Before my wife died, after many years of being on prescription strength Naproxen, her kidney function numbers were sub 10. Because of this, she was eventually referred to a Nephrologist who immediately took her off all NSAIDS. Eventually, her kidney function numbers climbed back up to 57 and she was being treated as an out-patient and told to check back every 6 months.My reason for stating the above is because I was using the NSAIDS with grave concern for my kidneys. I was glad that Dr. Olivia Turmeric Maximum Inflammation Support Formula worked for me as I was very anxious to get off those NSAIDS, because of the kidney side effect.Heartburn is the lesser of the two evils.Another case in point is testosterone replacement therapy (TRP). That is a fix for low-T, but would you consider taking it if one of the side effects is prostate cancer? Benefits, yes, but that type of risk, NO. It is a personal choice.I will take heartburn over the above. (lol).
