Hi,

I use it with vitamins and many Rx. It's often packaged with supplements these days to increase bioavailability. I don't think it works with everything, but it works with a lot of things:

* Herbal extracts :
(e.g. CURCUMIN, BOSWELLIA SERRATA, ASHWAGANDHA, GINKGO BILOBA and CAPSAICIN)
* Water-soluble vitamins :
(e.g. Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Niacinamide, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid and Vitamin C)
* Fat-soluble vitamins :
(e.g. Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K)
* Antioxidants :
(e.g. Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, pine bark bioflavonoids complex, germanium, selenium and zinc).
* Amino acids :
(e.g. lysine, isoleucine, leucine, threonine, valine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, and methionine)
* Minerals :
(e.g calcium, iron, zinc, vanadium, selenium, chromium, iodine, potassium, manganese, copper and magnesium).

Ludongbin,

I use Super Curcumin with Bioperine (piperine) from LEF. It consists of 800mg of Turmeric and ONLY 5mg of piperine. I use it once every two weeks. The reason for this is that you don't need much. The curcuminoid tends to accumulate in the brain over a lifetime and suppresses the formation of amyloid plaques. If you are going to take curcumin with piperine, take it with Vitamin E. I forgot where I read it, but curcumin has anti-cancerous and possible carcinogenic effects, and taking Vit.E may reduce the negative aspect of it. Below is a interesting article on this combination:

Look around the site for negative talk about Bioperine. Avoid any supplements containing it.

The eternal question... do a search we have talked about it until we are blue in the face
