Okay. Share experiential anecdotes online makes it an easier world to navigate. We don't always speak at this level of abstraction, but i think this is an implicit understanding among some subset of experience-sharers/recommenders.
e.g. Bottom line: I've generally seen many who have no response from curcumin without it paired with an absorption enhancer. This is information anyone reading may find helpful.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoI haven't found turmeric effective as an anti-inflammatory. But it is an excellent blood cleanser and I've used it for that, without requiring any kind of enhancer to get what I needed out of it. It's possible that it helps with brain fog for you because it's a blood cleanser, not because it's an anti-inflammatory. The blood brain barrier and separate lymph clearing system for the brain present challenges if your health is impacting brain function. Understanding the exact reason it helps matters for trying to effectively make progress with your condition though misunderstanding the exact mechanism doesn't mean it won't work. It will just interfere with getting the most out of it and with finding effective substitutes. Your observation that you need an absorption enhancer is often true for natural treatments. That's one of the chief things modern medicine does well -- delivers an effective dose in a simple to use form that requires minimal skill or comprehension from the patient. Best of luck with your search for healing answers.
