Inclusion criteria
✓. Male or Female subjects must be 21-75 years of age at the time of screening.
✓. Subjects must be willing to refrain from consuming the spice turmeric or any dietary supplements containing turmeric or curcumin (except for the study products) throughout the entire study.
✓. Subjects must be available for and willing to attend all evaluation visits.
✓. Subjects must be able and willing to give informed consent.
✓. Subjects participating in prior studies evaluating CurQ+® or curcumin can participate in the present study so long as they are not currently taking a curcumin containing supplement (including turmeric) and have not done so for 14 days prior to screening.
Exclusion criteria

✕. Subjects must not have taken turmeric- or curcumin-containing dietary supplements within 14 days prior to screening evaluation.
