Ashwagandha, Curcumin and Other Amyloid Interfering Supplements

[slacker]

Just a quick point: when I added Curcubrain 400mg to my stack (includes 2g DHA, 100mg Pycnogenol, 200mg GrapeSeed Extract) I began to cut myself shaving every day I and the bleeding took a while to stop. I've reduced the intake of all of the above.

Just be cautious, it's not often what's going on on the inside manifests on the outside. I was lucky.

Comments welcome.

I had some easy bleeding (at acupuncture points, once resulting in quail egg sized hematoma) as well. My easy bleeding resolved by decreasing my amount of DHA rather than cutting back on the Curamed curcumin. Perhaps cutting back on either would have done the trick.

Interesting.

I've reduced both. Now DHA only on no fish days and I alternate the Curamed with the Pycnogenol.

Thoughts?

I may not be interpreting your question as intended, but...
Here's a thread that you may find interesting about alternating polyphenol supplements. Another area of uncertainty, but great discussion.

It makes sense to me to supplement DHA only on the days you don't eat fish, especially if you are in prevention mode and not trying to reverse cognitive decline.

I'm jumping on board with the Theracumin. I've found Swanson's High Absorption Theracurmin. I'm trying to understand the supplement facts. So it's 100 mg of tumeric root extract, with 27% Theracumin. Does that mean that in one capsule I'd be getting 27 mg of Theracumin? If so, wouldn't that be too low of a daily dose?

I've read this thread AGAIN. I believe I can correctly answer by own questions. Yes, I'd be getting just 27 mg of Theracumin per capsule. Yes, it would be too low of a daily dose. I'm going with Integrative Therapeutics - Theracurmin HP. It's a much better deal.

For what it's worth, I agree with your interpretation.

It's worth a lot. Thanks, Slacker.

Ditto. I haven't went back too awfully far in the thread, so I may be repeating here, but have you gotten a chance to read this? I think that finally, more so in the past couple of years, Theracurmin is getting some well-deserved recognition.

Interesting thread, thanks for that. It does look like we need to be careful with total polyphenol intake.

Kellly, thanks for posting a link to this study. I hadn’t seen it, and it wasn’t previously posted in this thread. Theracurmin looks like the winner! I ordered a bottle and look forward to seeing how it works for me.
