I STRONGLY suggest longvida curcumin. My grandma (101) with dementia does take it, and it makes a world of a difference, even only at 1000mg. We never tried 2000mg because it is so expensive. Expensive, because we use longvida curcumin which is the ONLY curcumin formula which is proven to cross the bbb in studies. Meriva, sabinsa, bcm-95, forget em. Sabinsa c3 complex can work for non-brain issues, but only if you dose it high(i.e. 8g) and use piperine, maybe quercerin, additional oil, to improve its bioavailability, and take it all at ONCE each day, no split dosages. Theracurmin looks promising but no proof studies that it does cross the bbb yet. There is a world of a difference between the different kinds of curcumin formulations. Oh yea, and there is not much use beyond 2g longvida curcumin/day, because blood levels do not rise much more with higher dosages.
So that are the most important infos when it comes to curcumin, in a nutshell.
My grandma shows with longvida curcumin:
- a higher stress threshold,
- better short term memory,
- a bit less anxiety,
- more reasoning / IQ then in her normal dementia state,
- less / no hallucinations (depending on stress also),
- better spacial / temporal orientation
- she does not call for me every 2 minutes
- and she is more reasonable.
- In short her brain simply works better... it's an remarkable difference and makes care taking so much easier.
- And it eases pain though its antiinflammatory action (you could, however use another brand for that, but you'd need for example 8g of sabinsa c3 complex to get the same blood levels as with longvida)
- And it removes amyloid since it can cross the bbb, which starts to form as soon as in the 30ties in 90% of humans.
So let me tell you as someone who does take care of his grandma every day for 10 months now, GET THAT LONGVIDA CURCUMIN.
Effects can be seen as soon as 1-2 days after dosing, and even after weeks we saw more improvements.
My grandma never tried c60 because it would be cruel to make her live even longer with all the health problems she has that can not be cured by c60(horrible bone deformations due to osteoporosis for example, almost blind and deaf).
