Thorne Research – Meriva SF (Soy Free) – Sustained-Released Curcumin Phytosome Supplement – 120 Capsules

★★★☆☆ I felt the need to write this as i know theres so many people like me who have pain in their joints, and have been looking for something NATURAL to make them feel bettrer. This one i felt works okay, I feel like for the price though, I should get something that works really well. I think some turmerics just have more high quality ingredients than others, especially active ingredients. Instead ive been buying thisturmeric curcumin which i noticed settled some chronic inflammation i was experiencing. No longer do i have aches in my knees after going for a walk! Also they sent me a complimentary bottle as a promotion so it really cost me only half the price, because i got two.

★★★★★ I have endometriosis. I've been on birth control for 7 years to stop the pain; I went off the hormones a few months ago, and my pelvic pain was gradually returning, getting worse all the time. By the time I started this supplement, on average I was in pain five days a week. Even with an anti-inflammatory diet, MSM, vitamin A/C/D/E, fish oil, etc.But since I started taking this Meriva supplement, I'm having just HALF the number of "pain" days that I was before. When I do have pain, it's not nearly as severe.And I've only been taking this for a few weeks! I honestly can't believe I didn't know about it before. I am just amazed. There's only one other supplement I consider a MUST-have (magnesium), but from now on, there's no way I'll be without this one.I took 1 capsule twice daily for the first few days (to make sure I wouldn't react badly), then 2 capsules twice daily, after meals. I've had no side effects whatsoever, just the reduction in pain. I highly recommend Lara Briden's website and period repair book if you deal with endo, PMS, or other issues with hormones; that's where I learned about this supplement.

★★★★★ "Due to it's tumeric content bonding to another benign substance, Meriva tests out as 20-25X more bioavailable and potent than curcumin.Don't over do it!I've been using Meriva for years." -first review.I used a lot of Meriva. At least 4 or 5 caps/day. Drove my C-reactive almost to zero. However, too much of the phytosomal bonding substance, essentially choline, fed my gut bacteria whose metabolic process produced potent heart and stroke danger levels of TMAO...So really, don't over do it!

★★★★★ I was taking an Alive men's multivitamin for years and its nutrition facts compared similarly to the Thorne Research Elite multivitamins. I was recommended to try these vitamins from a group of people through a men's blog and holy smokes do I feel the difference! These are the real deal! Although they're very expensive for a month's supply, they are worth every penny.With the AM vitamins I feel better, have WAY more energy throughout the day, and my mind has been so much sharper (which is critical working in the administrative law profession); and I mean it's very noticeable.With the PM vitamins I've been sleeping much better and when I wake up in the morning I feel so much more rested than I'm used to.Simply amazing! You will not regret this purchase, I will be a customer for life.

★★★★★ My lab tests came back that I was deficient or borderline deficient in 9 different vitamins and minerals. So I figured I best get a quality multi-vitamin. I have taken vitamins from the retail vitamin stores but I was still deficient. So this time, I thought I would look for a more higher quality vitamin supplement. Thorne seems to be a name that keeps coming up of being high quality and one that holistic doctors, medical doctors etc recommend. I have just been on these for 3 days and I do feel so much better. I am extremely focused when I am working on the computer all day, not nearly so fatigued and just have a general overall well being that is much better. I look forward to seeing the effects of these after a month. I am definately going to be reordering when I run out of this. I like the fact as well, I have only two bottles of vitamins. Take 3 tablets from each bottle in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. When you are so deficient in so many things, taking a whole handful of pills a couple of times a day was not exactly exciting to think about. I am sure glad I found this type and this brand and how they are put together in this just two bottles.

★★★★★ I'm only taking 1 am and 1 pm so far for the past 2 weeks and it's a big improvement over the last multi vitamins. I have more energy and even my blood sugar dropped (the folate, b1 and chromium helped with that I think). The am pill stinks by the way, I guess it's an effect from the ingredients used for the best absorption rate, but that is the only small nitpicking I have.I do have to use 2 separate 60% supplements for calcium and magnesium since those are lacking and with my diet, I'm reducing the cals from dairy and nuts.Overall, I think the reviews that called this the best multi vitamins are accurate, though the price may put some people off. Even at 1/1 pills a day instead of 3, I still think this is the best you can get.

★★★★★ After a lot of reading, this appears to be the best multi-vitamin/-mineral on the planet, bar none. Even a bit better than the similar products from Pure Encapsulations, DFH, Metagenics, and Xymogen. It contains the most bio-available forms of each vitamin and mineral. The wholesale cost of the best forms tends to be 2x to 5x more expensive than the typical forms.I have no health issues, but after starting this vitamin I did notice a slight increase in energy, mental clarity and focus, but some or all of that could be from the other potions I started at the same time -- magnesium, krill oil, and CoQ10.

★★★★★ This is my go-to multivitamin, I've been taking it for 8 months now. I have MTHFR so need the methyl donors; other methylated vitamins make you take 6-8 capsules a day which is really annoying, this one is only 2 capsules and you have everything you need. Doesn't upset my stomach. Thorne is very high quality and I trust them.

★★★★★ I have been using this product for about 3 months now. I first heard about it from Dr. Rhonda Patrick, who has a PHD in biomedical science. She was being interviewed by Joe Rogan, on his Podcast, and he asked her what kind of vitamins she takes. She mentioned that she has a trusted friend in the science industry, that tested many vitamin products, and that Thorne is the best. She currently uses their products, and did so while pregnant and nursing her infant. She also claims that she is not a spokesperson for Thorne. I feel like if someone in her field uses this brand, then I'm going to go with their opinion. I usually don't feel anything from Vitamins, when I take them, but this one, I actually feel more energetic. I give this multivitamin to my husband and teenagers as well.
