I just went to my local health food store, which always SEEMS to have every herb, tincture, mineral, vitamin and extract under the sun and looked for circumin. Couldn't find it (I forgot it was in turmeric so maybe they did have that and I didn't see it) and the young woman I talked to had never heard of it (but she was just a shelf-stocker so that doesn't mean too much--in fact this store is a coop and so she may only work there a couple of hours a week for all I know).
It seems that with all the recent news about this it should be somehting a health food store has in stock. Anyway, they will try to order it for me. I hope it's not a softgel since I've yet to figure out how to get those down when I can't swallow pills.
