Pros
Cons
In this review we are taking a closer look at a product called Kyolic Curcumin. This is a dietary supplement which the manufacturer claims will reduce inflammation and help manage healthy cholesterol levels. Kyolic Curcumin is a combination of two products, Meriva Turmeric Complex and Aged Garlic Extract.

This product is free from sodium, yeast, dairy, sugar, gluten, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors. Avoid using if you have an allergy to soy. Lacking in the ingredient list is black pepper extract which can help in the absorption of the turmeric curcumin.
How Do You Use Kyolic Curcumin?
Take two capsules daily with a meal. The manufacturer does not state the best time of day to consume the product.
The Cost
This supplement is not available directly from the manufacturer, but we found it for sale on Amazon for $16.98 for a (25 day supply) 50 capsule bottle. This is only enough capsules for twenty-five days of use when taking two capsules per day. There is no bulk buying discount nor new customer incentive offered by the manufacturer.
Is There a Guarantee
The manufacturer does not offer any form of guarantee nor return policy for this supplement. Amazon has its own 30 day return policy.
The Conclusion of Our Kyolic Curcumin Review
Among the things that we liked about this product are that the capsules come in an easy to swallow gel format. We also liked that the supplement is free from sodium, yeast, dairy, sugar, gluten, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors. The not so positive comments that we have are as follows; the product is not made in a FDA and GMP certified facility, nor certified USDA organic. The product contains gelatin and is unsuitable for vegetarians and vegans. The product lacks the ingredient black pepper extract which can help in the absorption of the turmeric curcumin. The manufacturer does not offer any form of a guarantee or return policy. The manufacturer does not state the best time of day to consume the product. This supplement is quite costly at $16.89 for only a 25 day supply. The manufacturer’s website does not offer any bulk buying discounts, nor a first time buyer incentive. There was no explanation on the manufacturer’s website regarding how long you should take this supplement for, how long it takes to see health benefits, nor how to measure these benefits. The consumer reviews on Amazon were few in number and were very mixed. Many expressed that they saw no improvement in cholesterol levels or a lessening in inflammation when using this supplement. In conclusion, we recommend that you only buy a supplement if it has the support and backing of a reliable guarantee and return policy. Lastly, look for a turmeric supplement that is well priced and one where the manufacturer offers decent bulk buying discounts.
