Trying to separate three different claims about curcumin: that it is the right molecule, that it is the right dose, and that it does something useful. The effect size I actually noticed is roughly a third of what the write-ups imply, and it took five years to be sure.
An inconclusive account is useful if it stops the next person mistaking a story for a controlled comparison.
Same here.
Narrow conclusion, briefly right. Broad conclusion, interestingly wrong. I know which I keep choosing. Currently on curcumin myself.
Baseline first.
Nobody has ever been talked out of a stack by a stranger on the internet.
Reconstitution arithmetic is only half the problem. The other half is what was in the vial. Mild sedation was my main issue with curcumin too.
Name the active ingredient, not just the brand. It makes these threads searchable years later.
A plausible mechanism is not an outcome, and this class is the textbook example. Same for me with curcumin, unfortunately.
How long before you can reasonably say something is or is not doing anything?
Same here.
How long have you been on curcumin?
