I was just listening to the When Saturday Comes podcast and they mentioned that Swansea City have an official Turmeric supplier. Apparently the supplier is owned by none other than Hal Robson Kanu! So I asked myself WTF are they doing with it? Then I came across this article https://www.yourhealthyliving.co.uk/...al-robson-kanu
Do we need to get some of this stuff pronto especially with our current injury record?
I used to take turmeric on a tablespoon, mixed with a drop or two of olive oil. Doesn't taste great, but is powerful and as that article states, you need to mix it with piperine to get the full benefit. It just coincided with a period when I gave up alcohol, joined a gym, and wanted to really go the whole hog and improve my health as best as I could. So I did some online research and came across Turmeric. It is widely available from supermarkets, it's cheap also - I think I got the piperine from just grinding fresh black pepper.Quote:

As someone who has significant neurological problems it's interesting to read about proprioception because as it stands, there are no further medical treatments for me, so I'm trying hard to change all aspects of my diet and add as many supplements as possible. Thanks for your feedback as this one has fallen under the radar for me so I'll definitely be giving it a try.Quote:

Works as an anti inflammatory but I took it for while and it made no difference to my aches and pains after playing sports
Did you make sure to mix it with piperine, worthless on its own?Quote:

That I couldn't say. It might say on the packaging that piperine is an ingredient, but I'm sure I read that grinding peppercorn was by far the best way.Quote:

sounds great
Any scientific evidence ?
My Chinese friend swears by tiger balm for aches and pains but apparently it just heats up the skin and that diverts you away from the pain by distracting your mind
No better than tesco heat rub
There is some scientific evidence it can have an anti-inflammatory effect.Quote:

There is little evidence it does much else.

Black pepper is often added to a lot of vitamins as it assists in the absorption of essential nutrients.Quote:

I'm not getting any younger, I was 60 at the time. Dr referred me to the hospital for physio, but they were unable to offer me any due to the start of lockdown, so I tried tumeric tablets, mixed with black pepper, after a friend recommend them as he had the same through jogging after many years. I bought them online on Ebay and they definitely helped me a lot.

The theory on turmeric is peppered with inconsistencies. I'd take it with a pinch of salt.Quote:
