      Nope I'm saying the former has strong evidence for efficacy and the latter has nonehttps://twitter.com/sonicshifts/status/1055240694833528832 …

      Really so you are saying taken an NSAID long term is safer as an anti-inflammatory than Turmeric, Garlic, Olive Leaf and Fish Oil?

      We have evidence for the harmful effects of NSAIDs https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/05/09/one-week-painkillers-can-increase-chances-heart-attack-new-study/ …

      And study that shows Curcumin Works as well as ibuprofen “people taking 2 grams of phytosomal curcumin (called Meriva) had pain reduction equivalent to 800 mg of ibuprofen.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19678780

          Curcumin is the yellow-colored substance that comes from Turmeric Root. High quality supplements like @GaiaHerbs Turmeric Supreme contain a good amount of Curcumin. My main disagreement with you is using a sweeping generalization saying 90% of supplements are ineffective.

          I also agree people need to be cautious of the safety of supplements and should research the companies making them. @labdoor is one resource for doing so. And also always consult a doctor and get vitamin level bloodwork. I.e Vit. D or B12 supplements make sense if your deficient.

          I agree with your more broader points that people should have a healthy skepticism about supplement claims as their are supplements that make ridiculous claims. Like the ones that promise to cure Tinnitus. But lumping in 90% of supplements into this category is unfair.
