Thank you so much for this beautiful post about turmeric. I love the way you write and it’s very througout. I hope to see further blog post about the benefits of turmeric.
Me, myself and I, have rheumatoid arthritis and want to buy cheap, but high quality turmeric supplements.
Now I did come up with a few websites, but one with a very cheap discount package.
But Im sceptical too these days. Will you as a professional take a look at the website to see if it’s legit?

Is this something i can buy? Or walk away from it?
Your help is appreciated! Keep up the good work!
With love,
Chanti
Thanks, Chanti! Apologies for my late reply. I’m not as familiar with this brand. I have seen great success with Theracurmin- and it has some decent research around it. https://naturalfactors.com/product/curcuminrich-theracurmin-2/ Here’s to your health!
