Tried

Turmeric / Curcumin

I started Turmeric / Curcumin after dealing with IBS-like symptoms worsening with hormones for months. By week 2 I noticed my mood stabilised. At 6 weeks, I was sleeping through the night. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

Disappointing experience with Turmeric / Curcumin. My gut issues alongside perimenopause didn't improve and the side effects outweighed any benefit. Disappointing but at least I know now.

Tried

Turmeric / Curcumin

My menopause specialist suggested Turmeric / Curcumin for my food sensitivities developing. It took about 2 weeks to notice anything, but by week 8 the difference was remarkable. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

Tried

Turmeric / Curcumin

Added curcumin for gut inflammation and bloating during menopause. After 8 weeks the bloating was marginally better but not dramatically so. My joint stiffness in the mornings did improve though — an unexpected bonus. I might continue for the joint benefit even if the gut effect was modest.
