I am curious about anyone else here who is taking curcumin. I finally found a place that sells pills which I can take using a g tube and I think I'm going to ad it to the (few) supplements I take (I also take vit.D+calcium and some extra vit. C and B vitamins). Apparently, it isn't abosrbed well by the body but if it is taken with piperine (a chemical from black pepper) much more is absrobed. But piperine can apparently also increase abosrption of other meds you are taking.

Is anyone taking curcumin and are you doing it with or without piperine?
