Just keep in mind what Examine.com says:

[FONT=&quot]For any systemic purpose (requiring absorption from the intestines), then an oral supplementation of curcumin in the range of 80-500mg would be required assuming an enhancement. Curcumin is poorly absorbed inherently, and one of the following is mandatory:[/FONT]

• Pairing curcumin with black pepper (piperine)
  
• Curcumin phytosomes complexed with phosphatidylcholine (Meriva or BCM-95)
  
• Curcumin nanoparticles (THERACURMIN)
  
• Water-soluble curcumin (polyvinyl pyrrolidone)

[FONT=&quot]If one of the above enhancements are not used, then too little curcumin will be absorbed and even doses of up to 4,000mg may be wholly inactive (8-16g would only be slightly active).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If using curcumin for intestinal purposes, then absorption from the intestines into the blood is not necessarily required. Due to this, one can simply use turmeric at the dose of 2-4g daily or take curcumin supplementation without any of the aforementioned enhancements.[/FONT]

Great info...if it helps with Endothelial and NO then I'm game to try it!

I always get a laugh from watching my father cook as he puts turmeric on everything and I try to tell him that the amount of curcumin that is in the turmeric is nowhere near the amount one would need to notice health benefits let alone absorption issues but if it eases his mind so be it!
