Hello from Greece !!!

Hello !!!!
I am 43 years old from Athens.
I was diagnosed with thal major when i was 3 months old ,i'm on 3 weeks blood tranfusion.
I've been on Desferal since i was 8 years old and on ferriprox before 6 years.
Chelation :Desferal+Deferriprone
ferritin level:650-850
Wheat Grass: NO
Supplements-NO
I want to ask what you know for the curcumin .Has it action of chelator factor ?

Ι may also want to look into supplements

Welcome Helenkol  ,

It is great to have you!  Your ferritin levels look great, good job with your chelation.

Curcumin, as far as I know, is recommended for it's protection from the oxidative damage of free iron.  I don't believe
curcumin plays a role in chelation.  There are several other products we also recommend for this protection along with curcumin - such as IP6, fermented papaya and vitamins such as vitamin E. 

Curcumin also has several other beneficial qualities such aiding the immune system and skin ailments. 

Thank you once again for joining us,
