The Chilean coup d' tat of 1973 was a watershed event in the history of Chile. It was also a defining moment in the life of writer Marjorie Agos n. This collection of prose vignettes and free verse draws upon her experiences as a child in Chile, an expatriate abroad, and a minority Jew--even in the land she calls home--to create a striking portrait of a life of exile. The tone of the book varies as it lyrically explores the geography of Chile and weaves into it the themes of exile and oppression. At times the words become hymns to the physical beauty of her country, evoking the grandeur of this land extending to the southernmost tip of the world. At times they are intimate and melancholy, exploring personal and familial history through miniature portraits that reveal the pain of being different. Finally the tone becomes angry as she denounces the injustices committed against her friends and against the families of the disappeared during the seventeen-year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Combining themes of memory, childhood, minority issues, Judaism, and political oppression, this collection contains some of Agos n's strongest work. Of Earth and Sea is a poetic autobiography that explores the world of Chile with eyes that see both despair and hope.Binding Type: Paperback

Seems good.
This seems to be good quality and they build trust with the third party testing. The bottle arrives safety sealed for assurance. The blend is good; especially with the BioPerine for easier absorption. The capsules have not taste and are easy to swallow. So far, I'm quite pleased. The quality and price seems fair compared with other offerings. I have no negatives to note.

Useful supplement
It is difficult to measure the efficacy of these supplements. With that said, I like taking some daily Curcumin as this falls into the category of "Won't hurt, might help".
The ingredient has been used for ages in different cultures, and promises a long lists of potential benefits. One would have to eat large amounts of Turmeric to get the benefits of what is concentrated in this pill, along with some black pepper for better absorption.
The suggested use is 3 capsules per day, so the 180 capsules will cover 60 days /2 months. This somewhat distributes the cost of the product.
There are the usual trust-increasing stamps on the label, including a Made in the USA one. The label is easy to read and attractive, and the bottle is protected by anti-tampering seals and plastic.

After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
After ***TOO MUCH*** Research
The Amazon ad for this product is so ambiguous that I thought I should do some research before taking this supplement. After AN HOUR AND A HALF of googling, for information I've decided to give this 2 stars. Initially, I was thinking 4 stars (that would have been 5 stars, but I'm not happy about all the googling I had to do about the ingredients), but I decided to lower it because after a great deal of research, I'm still not sure if I should take the label's full recommended dosage, or something lower. But I'm going to start here with the positive:
The main things that convinced me to order it it is that it's made in the USA in an FDA registered facility that is GMP certified. and it's 3rd party lab tested. But even though that put my mind to rest about production, the ingredient list is ambiguous, and since there's no Medical Recommended Dosage, I want to know what a safe amount to take is.
The ingredients and amount of the supplement provided are MUCH too ambiguous label says that 3 caps provides 1800 mg of organic turmeric (cucurma longa root), and 150 mg of turmeric 95% curcuminoids (cucurma longa root). So what's the difference between these 2 ingredients? And what does it mean, anyway?
I read down the entire page, and at the bottom the Product Description notes that "each serving delivers 1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids". But that doesn't explain much. Does that mean that the entire 1950 mg is curcuminoids? Why are the amounts listed sepaerately in the ingredient list?
I googled for information about the different ingredients, but I'm not sure how to interpret it. Here's what I found:
* A page on the NIC (official US government site) notes that "curcumin is a major component of turmeric, and the activities of turmeric are commonly attributed to curcuminoids (curcumin and closely related substances)".
* Another NIC page, noted "In Curcuma longa, crude extract curcuminoid makes up 1–6% of turmeric by weight, distributed in 60–70% curcumin...whereas commercially available curcumin contains about 77% in curcuminoids."
* On a page for a vitamin company (not the manufacturer/distributer for this particular product), I read "Curcumin 95 is a botanical extract from turmeric root spice. Curcumin 95 contains 95% curcuminoids."
But the label is so confusing. Does that mean that 95% of the entire "1950mg of turmeric curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids" is the amount in 3 caps? Or is it 95% of the 150 mg of the turmeric 95% curcuminoids, listed as an ingredient?
And what's a safe amounts to take. The results vary a lot. A page on the Arthritis Foundation site says, "In one small randomized controlled trial, twice daily doses of either 250 or 500 mg of curcumin were compared to placebo. Both doses significantly outperformed placebo on all measures." This site also recommends taking a supplement that includes black pepper (as this does) "for better bioavailability".
