The Cost

Is There a Guarantee?
There is a confusing policy relating to returns, it says that they will will accept returns if due to their error, but it also says that if you are not satisfied, you can return the product for a replacement or a credit. Either way, you need to notify them within 7 days of purchase to request a refund. It seems to us that this not a guarantee that protects your rights as a consumer and doesn’t allow you enough time to know if the product is helpful to you.
The Conclusion of Our Herb Pharm Turmeric Review
In summarizing this product review, there were several positive aspects. The capsules come in an easy to swallow veggie gel format. The product is certified organic, vegetarian and made from modified food starches which come from non-GMO corn, vegetable glycerin, purified water, carrageenan, sorbitol and organic caramel. The supplement is all-vegetarian and suitable for vegetarians or vegans. We liked that the product contained black pepper for enhancing absorption. We do have a number of negative comments too however. There is no bulk buying discount nor new customer discount and the product is not cheap to buy at $28.00 (plus shipping). You have to pay shipping yourself unless you spend $50 or more. the company website and product label do not state at what time of day to take or how to decide whether to take on or two capsules. Other products on the market offer higher doses of turmeric curcumin. The guarantee is weak and doesn’t protect the consumer’s needs and doesn’t allow you enough time to know if the product is helpful to you. We recommend that you look for an alternative Turmeric supplement that provides a comprehensive return policy that is also better value for money.
