Wow. Just wow.
So I have been interested to try a turmeric supplement for some time now. This brand was recommended to me and I finally decided to take the leap. Oh. My. Stars.So backstory- I started weight lifting in March of this year. I am not athletic. I have never been athletic. I did pilates once for a few months and thought that I was the picture of health. And it was a 20 minute video that I did maybe 3 times a week if nothing more interesting was going on. Other than that magical stint of motivation to move my body some, I have never ever ever been an active human. In fact, in high school, I was in a gym test with an ex boyfriend and we had a running test and I wanted to, not beat his time at the running test, but just not be the last person to finish the running test. AND I PASSED OUT TRYING TO NOT BE THE LAST PERSON TO COMPLETE THE RUNNING TEST. Once again, I'm not athletic.So I started weight lifting and doing HIIT 4-5 times a week in March. And my muscles are literally hurting basically always. I dont blame them, I've neglected them for literally 32 years (minus those few months of my pilates VHS) but still, it was discouraging. I was taking ibuprofen like it was a daily vitamin. I got this turmeric supplement about 2 weeks ago and added it into my daily supplements that I've been taking.Now I'm going to be honest with you- I figured that I had done the research, I knew that I was doing something good for myself by taking this turmeric, but I didn't expect to notice anything drastic. I WAS SHOOK. The first day I took it, I didn't notice anything but I had already taken ibuprofen. The next morning I noticed that I was substantially less sore that I have been since I started lifting weights. I didn't take ibuprofen until almost dinner time that day. That was a HUGE improvement. The next day, same thing. The next day, I went to bed and realized that I hadn't taken ibuprofen all day. Literally 4 days on this supplement and I stopped being sore beyond just noticing "Oh yeah, I worked back yesterday" when I reached for my top shelf in my cabinet and it was tight. And this was after nearly 4 months of constantly experiencing DOMS to the point of needing to take something because of how uncomfortable I was.After a week I told my husband about it and he decided to try taking it for his back. He is very active with his job and does a lot of lifting at work and his back bothers him pretty frequently. He literally came back to me exactly 4 days later and said that since taking this turmeric supplement, his back aches had substantially improved.This stuff is incredible. I could go on and on about it but at the end of the day, its turmeric. Do the research, see all the benefits, and give it a shot. But in my humble opinion, you also should prepare to be shook if you have any sort of muscle aches. This stuff is a game changer in my book.

Really potent high quality Curcumin!
This is one of the most potent and economic curcumin supplements by cost and quality you can find. I usually look for curcumin content on these because of its super antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. When you compare to other brands you'll notice that only a portion of most supplements that are 1500mg per serving have curcumin extract 95%, for example 100mg per 1500mg serving in some. That's three pills for 100mg curcumin. This products is one pill for 712.5mg curcumin. Super dense! The next closest I've found was only about 350mg per pill. Plus I was pleased to see their heavy metals and other testing for the product are very high standards, and they source it ethically! Hands down the best value out there.Bear in mind I do believe whole turmeric to be a super important super food for health and wellness also, so it can be beneficial to have more than just concentrated curcumin as a supplement. But for those looking for help with joint, arthritis and overall inflammation, this is a really solid product.

It worked for me!
I would recommend Active Atom to anyone dealing with inflammation. I had acl surgery in January and 2 months afterwards I still had inflammation around my knee. I did not want to keep using pain meds and anti inflammatory pills such as Advil. My physical therapist recommended turmeric to me as an anti inflammatory alternative and I have to say I am very happy with the results. If you have inflammation try it out, especially if you do not want to continue using medication to push the inflammation out!

Very Effective!!
I have been using Active Atoms on a daily basis since October 3rd 2019 and it really has helped with my ankle inflammation.I play soccer and I was constantly suffering from pain on my ankle since I sprained it playing soccer. After 3-4 days I saw significant improvement, my ankle didn’t bother me like it used to when walking. After a week of taking them daily at night I was able to return to running, weightlifting and most important of all I was able to play soccer. What I really liked is that the capsules do not leave you with any after taste when you put it in your mouth and swallow it. I have tried Tumeric powder and it is not very tasty nor enjoyable to have as a supplement. Even though this capsules don’t have any flavor it is better than the actual power. As far as the size of the capsule, it is medium size, almost like a Tylenol or Advil which it makes them easy to swallow, not as big as those Omega-3s. I Definitely recommend Active Atoms for any inflammation or pain because they are effective and they did help with my ankle inflammation and back pain.

Solid Supplement
When it comes to supplements, I am always very cautious about what I buy for two main reasons: 1) they often have unsupported health claims; 2) they lack regulation on controlling contents (aka a supplement might not contain what it says it does). This supplement delivers in both of these areas, which is why I felt so confident buying it. Curcumin, when taken with black pepper extract, is a well researched supplement that appears to significantly reduce inflammation, pain, and even depression. In other words, the claims on this supplement are accurate. Gold star for that!! Second gold star because this company is LEGIT. Third party testing helps ensure the supplement actually contains what is SAYS it contains. Another gold star!As for personal efficacy in my own life, I am a very active individual who also suffers from major depressive disorder. I have been on the hunt for the perfect supplement, and this one has helped tremendously in reducing some of my chronic inflammatory pain while simultaneously improving my mental health. I really am so glad I found it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the ratio of curcumin to black pepper. Current evidence supports the use of 20 mg of piperine for every 500 mg of curcumin taken three times per day (so a total of 1500 mg curcumin to 60 mg of piperine). This supplement does not follow these guidelines, which may affect the active dose of curcumin your body truly absorbs.All in all, great supplement from a legit company, and I will continue to purchase this product...likely for the rest of my life!!
