Here was some of the research on Cucurmin and on particular this version of it.

Life Extension sells it also directly but price was higher I noticed then amazon so thats where I bought from. It may be in local vitamin stores at higher prices also. Amazon has subscribe and save if you decide to use it regularly, you can get 5% off, and 15% off if you subscribe to 5 or more items a month.

Cayenne, Coq10, paprika, taurine, glutamine, niacin are all good, magnesium will help too, you can get it in an oil format that if you rub on your skin should take away some pain. Always check side effects, especially if you have any other conditions, and don't go crazy with the dosage.

I highly suggest googling "Reverse hyperextensions herniated disc" for an exercise that I'm sure Joe Rogan from the UFC said helped his back.
