PRODUCT FAQs
Are turmeric and curcumin the same thing?
Turmeric has been used for centuries as a flavoring for food and a traditional remedy for various ailments. Curcumin, the primary active ingredient in Turmeric, was first isolated in 1815. Turmeric only contains about 5% curcumin, which in its natural form is only absorbed in extremely small amounts. It wasn’t until modern science used nanotechnology to make curcumin water soluble and highly absorbable by the body that its real power was unlocked.
What does curcumin do for you?
Curcumin is a type of polyphenol with anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant effects. It works in ways that are different from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. As a result, curcumin has not been shown to increase the risk of heart attack in people with cardiovascular disease.* In fact, researchers are constantly discovering new ways curcumin’s anti-inflammatory properties can be used to support heart health.*
How is Cardiotabs Curcumin different?
Cardiotabs Curcumin is where advanced science meets a wonder of the natural world. Theracurmin®, the primary ingredient in a Cardiotabs Curcumin supplement capsule, is a nanoparticle (extremely tiny pieces) formulation of curcumin that enables it to be absorbed into water. The result is a higher level of curcumin in the bloodstream, brain and joints. about 30 times greater than a comparable dose of conventional curcumin). Additionally, Cardiotabs Curcumin reaches peak concentration in the bloodstream six times faster than unformulated curcumin.
How to use Cardiotabs Curcumin?
For general health support, take two capsules each day. You can also break open a capsule and add it to any food or beverage. Most people see positive benefits from Cardiotabs Curcumin within two to four weeks.
Why Do Other Curcumin Products Contain Black Pepper?
Because most curcumin products are poorly absorbed, manufacturers add a form of black pepper to aid in absorption. However, since Cardiotabs Curcumin uses Theracurmin®, a nanoparticle form of Curcumin, it is easily and rapidly absorbed. Based on clinical data, Theracurmin® reaches peak concentration in the bloodstream six times faster than unformulated curcumin.
How much Theracurmin® does Cardiotabs Curcumin contain? 600 mg or 180 mg?
Of the 600 mg per serving of Theracurmin® that Cardiotabs Curcumin contains, 30% (180 mg) is the active curcuminoids and the rest are excipients.

I really enjoy the Cardiotabs Omega-3s and bought the Curcumin to complement my Omega-3s to gain more heart health benefits. I think this is way better than the other brand of Tumeric we had been taking.

I have arthritis in my knee. I just started taking Curcumin 19 days ago. I can already tell a difference in the stiffness in the back of my knee. It is not totally gone away but I do not have to stretch my leg out now before I get up and walk.

I bought curcumin recently and added to my vitamin regiment. Dr. O’Keefe says it helps with inflammation and that is the reason I added it. Heart disease runs in my family and I want to be heart healthy and not have health issues as my parents did. Thanks Cardiotabs.

Before taking curcumin I spent most of my time at home sitting in an easy chair, listening to Rush Limbaugh or doing my taxes, dreading the onset of Summer and the mowing season. Now, I am looking forward to yard work

I quit using Curcumin two years ago, from another supplier, and I quit because something didn't seem right about my response. I recently used three months of Curcumin from CardoTabs, and it seems like I have really begun to feel the improvement in my knee and toes.

My husband and I take this curcumin because it helps curb the inflammation in your body. Our joints ache every now and then and that has improved so much after starting on this product every day. If I'm really aching --sometimes when I eat too much sugar :( , I take two a day. As we are getting up there in age (61) we take for brain function and heart health as well. I like that CardioTabs Curcumin is a nanoparticle formulation and that results in a 30 times greater absorption than other brands. If I'm going to spend money on a supplement, I want the MOST absorption I can get from it!

Just a normal retired soldier and I don’t believe it. Have been taking Curcumin recommended by my Dr. for mental health. After 5 days my knee feels great. For two years I have been getting injections in both knees and could only walk up and down stairs one at a time. I walk up and down normally. Unreal. Stay tuned on mental health. I’m impressed and unbelievable. Works for me. Good Luck

We have actually been using Cardiotabs products since shortly after the company came into existence. Mostly cardio sterol. My wife cannot take statins thus the use of Cardiotabs has helped with her cholesterol. We started using the Curcumin because she has Parkinson's and pain from a spinal condition. Thus the Curcumin helps her alertness and spinal health.
We feel that Cardiotabs products are more helpful than the same things from other companies.

Over time, I test products (on myself) and determine if they appear to have helped me. Data point of one, I know. But the curcumin for me, if nothing else, has made me feel better... it's hard to do a scientific test on one person.

We started using curcumin several months ago on the advice of our doctors. Noticeable increase in alertness and decrease in mental fatigue. Also just feel better. Have decreased the use of ibuprofen. We would heartily recommend Cardiotabs Turmeric Curcumin.

At first, I didn't notice a difference after taking this for a few days. One day I noticed how much better my body was feeling, and the regular aches had disappeared. I tried to figure out what might have improved my physical health. Then it occurred to me that the curcumin must have done the trick. There was nothing else that I had done differently in my daily regimen. I will continue to take this as long as I feel so wonderful!

I learned about Cardiotabs and Theracurmin on Peter Attia's podcast with Dr. O'Keefe. Following a deep dive to learn about the benefits of turmeric curcumin and esp. the bioavailability of Theracumin, I placed a subscription order for delivery every 60 days. The process of signing up and ordering was smooth and easy. The first order arrived within a couple of days. It's to soon to tell if Theracumin is benefiting me, but I'm optimistic. And, really impressed with Cardiotabs. I plan to try other products, e.g., Omega-3 soon.

My doctor recommended Cardiotabs Curcumin to address the arthritis pain in my hands...especially in cold weather. I've been taking it for about a month now and have found it to be helpful. The tumeric I was taking before I started Cardiotabs Curcumin didn't seem to be nearly as effective. I definitely will continue taking Curcumin.

I have used many brands of curcumin over the years with only minor relief of inflammation in my knees and hips. Although this supplement does not cure the issues causing my inflammation, it is the best at bringing relief and reducing swelling I have ever used. I have taken Cardio tabs curcumin for a year and will continue indefinitely.

I started taking Cardiotabs Curcumin at the beginning of this month (about 12 days ago). I am taking one capsule with breakfast and one with dinner. I noticed this morning that I did not have the usual achiness in my shoulder, knees, and feet that I usually feel the day after playing a lot of pickleball. I usually take a Naproxen the day after, and I was amazed that I did not need to take one this morning! This is even more amazing to me in light of the fact that I have been taking a different brand of Curcumin for years. Clearly the Theracurmin in Cardiotabs is that much more absorbed/available/concentrated than the brand I was taking. I am so happy to have found the Cardiotabs brand!
