Cognitive Benefits for Longvida Curcumin?
Original post in this thread

Has anyone that's taken Longvida Curcumin actually noticed any mood/cognitive benefits or does it mainly just help with inflammation? I'm considering adding it to my stack but want to make sure it's worth the cost, which is pretty high compared to many supplements.
edit: I just wanted to add that I'm not looking for suggestions on other supplements or forms of curcumin to take for inflammation. I already take boswellia to reduce inflammation. I'm asking specifically about any cognitive effects from the Longvida extract since it crosses the BBB.

Very good summary and what I was looking for. I appreciate the response and linked studies. It looks like I'm better off taking bacopa instead of Longvida (stacked with my lithium orotate).

For cognitive effects, yes. I would say bacopa would be better. Longvida is a very cool compound. However, it's not really a nootropic in the traditional sense.
