Enhansa VS BCM-95 Curcumin

[Mayzoo]

I am comparing products and prices. Has anyone tried one then the other of these products? What was your experience? Was one remarkably better than the other? What brand BCM-95 did you try? Here is an article on the BCM-95 for those not familiar with it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2792534/.

 

The Enhansa appears to be $58 for 150 capsules of 150mg. The BCM-95 by Jarrow is 22.59 for 120 of the 500mg (not good for titrating up obviously, but maintenance should be okay) and the Progressive lab version is $23.89 for 60 caps of 400mg.

 

I am excited to try this product on my kiddo, but of course if I can get a similar product for less $ that works as well, or almost as well, I would love to do so (as I am sure everyone here would also). The cost of supplements can eat a budget alive, especially in the trial and error stage.

 

Thanks for any input.

I just switched to Meriva SR curcumin from regular curcumin. I hope this is effective.

Does this come in a liquid or chewable?

Does this come in a liquid or chewable?

 

Enhansa comes in a powder and a capsule. I am trying the progressive lab capsules to titrate up when they get here. My understanding is that the caps open well and the powder can be masked in foods (but not liquids) easily for titrating up.

 

I have not looked for a liquid or a chewable, but it is a strong spice so the flavor may be hard to mask in that formula.

Maybe another for your consideration (?) might be the BioPure blend CurcuSyn capsules, 250mg plus ginger root,grape root & black pepper (all organic) $48ish for 100, if you want the on line resource for discounted BioPure sups ping me and I'll send it. My PANDAS ds is a 'probably' lyme kid so were doing Dr K's Lyme protocol and CurcuSyn is part of it.
