Had to have a look what that is, but effectively it's changing the absorption site for the ibuprofen (small intestine instead of the stomach). Only benefit listed seems to be for those with sensitive stomachs.
Nothing listed about any differences in absorption rate (like loperamide instant v traditional capsules).

If you haven’t already, start taking Turmeric and Black pepper pills.
They worked like a miracle for me.
X-rays in 2018 showed Osteo in left knee and severe Osteoarthritis in right knee.
Doc said I would kneed at least one new knee within 2 to 3 years.
Started in the Turmeric and still using original knees.
Even Physiotherapist said ‘Don’t stop taking the Turmeric.’
Ken.
Ps. Very many years ago, pre Turmeric, we used to get a small bottle of something for horses and drink that. Can’t remember its name but it helped.

Just wondering how they claim it specifically targets joint's? My elbows & shoulders belong to a man twice my ageShould have tried harder at school!
Sounds a bit strange, but have you tried nettles?
Lots of runners with bad knees/arthritis use them. If it works or not I do not know. If it does, you can praise me, if it doesnt, you can curse me.
Sting away.

I'll give that a go, thank you
Firstly, while turmeric works fine for osteoarthritis, it's counter-indicated for rheumatoid arthritis, so do make sure you know what you're suffering from!
Secondly, very long-term use of turmeric can lead to toxicity. (My mum relied on turmeric for many years to ease her joint pain, and ended up with turmeric poisoning!)

A method to reduce inflammation is fasting, and it doesn't even cost you anything.
Being busy and plenty of water makes a 24hr fast pretty easy, even when working.

Scientists identify how fasting may protect against inflammation
Cambridge scientists may have discovered a new way in which fasting helps reduce inflammation – a potentially damaging side-effect of the body’s immune system

That's the other thing I need to improve on. I'll easily go all day with a coffee in morning & can of pop mid afternoon and that's ALL until a cuppa when I get home at night. I already fast mate.

Do you find it helps?
I dont have inflammation, but ive done a few 24 and 48hr fasts. Once I'm over the 24hr mark, the next morning I feel pretty good, not to mention all the bloat I drop from excess carbs/water.
That's probably a bit different from taking a concentrated dose in the form of pills? I don't know the ins and outs of it. Maybe including it in cooking denatures something or changes the way it's absorbed?
