Okay, so I NEVER write reviews but this stuff saved my dog's life. My mini pinscher Bruno was given weeks to live with severe congestive heart failure. After reading studies about curcumin reversing heart enlargement in mice, I desperately tried Doctor's Best with BioPerine.

Started with 5 capsules daily in his food (yes, for a 4lb dog!) and gradually increased to 7. Within a month, his constant CHF cough disappeared. When I stopped due to finances, symptoms returned within 2 months - restarting brought the same miraculous improvement. He's now 17 years old - FOUR YEARS past his expiration date!

For humans: Personally noticed reduced joint pain and clearer skin after consistent use. The capsules are easy to swallow though the pepper-y taste comes through if opened (learned that when crushing for Bruno).

Warning though: One user reported severe leg swelling at high doses (2000mg/day), so start slow! My sweet spot is 500-1000mg daily for maintenance.

Bottom line? This isn't just another supplement - it's legit medicine in disguise. Changed my perspective completely after seeing its effects on both my dog and myself.
