enhansa vs curcumin

[smartyjones]

other than titrating the dose or if a script can be covered by insurance -- should there be any difference between enhansa, brand name, and another curcumin product that i would buy anywhere else?

thanks.

DS uses liposodal curcumin called meriva-SR.

I like it because the capsules aren't too big. The other curcumin tabs looked huge. I dunno about enhansa, I've not purchased that one.

 

There is lots of research in the cancer arena regarding liposodal cur cumin being better absorbed.

Enhansa is bio-enhanced so it absorbed at a higher rate than plain curcumin, and it is more bio available than plain curcumin. However, there is a product called BCM-95. Bio-enchanced Curcumin 95. It is not the same as Curcumin 95%. It must be BCM-95 for it to be bio-enhanced.

 

There are many companies selling the BCM-95 in varying strengths (I have seen 250mg to 750mg). I started kiddo on the progressive Labs 400mg and gave her half a capsule then titrated up.

 

Here is a link to various brands on Amazon:
