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.

Laaaate reply, but in regards to "Honestly, the best way would be to take some regular 95% curcumin mix with Longvida. Then you get the best of both worlds, along with free curcumin passing the blood brain barrier.", would mixing both together theoretically help the regular 95% curcumin absorb better too due to the coating in Longvida, or would I still need piperine to ensure the bisdemethoxycurcumin and demethoxycurcumin aren't glucuronidated?

No, the SLCP process from Longvida is not going to help other curcumin taken at the same time absorb better. It's not going to be coating the other curcumin particles.
