Nice! I just started mine last night (non-plus version) and concentrated the application on my left shoulder. It was feeling just fine before so there wasn’t anything acute to notice for me. I’m just hoping this will get my shoulder up from 90% to 100% in less time in terms of some minor tweaks at this point when doing certain lifts.Not a whole lot to report in here except that this stuff is still kicking a$$. My knees haven’t felt this good since before my Army days, and inflammation seems to be at an all time low. Not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I slam quite a bit of curcumin daily. Some is in my dedicated joint support and some in my multi. I started adding regular Helios to the mix several months ago, but used it as more of a spot treatment for my knees. As @Hyde said above, the positive reaction is undeniable. Helios Plus takes it to a whole new level (apologies for the overused “whole new level” comment, but it’s very fitting here).
On a related note, my wife stole a couple milliliters from the first bottle and used it on her legs where she has terrible circulation. She noted that it seemed to help a little, so I’m going to share the remaining supply with her and have her use it daily to see if it indeed helps. I don’t think Nos or any of the folks who rep for Apex have ever said anything related to Helios and circulation, but I think there might be something there. So, I’m going a little rogue with the log and including my wife’s observations from here until we’re out.
The last time I tried an oral curcumin product it was called Qunol, which uses some sort of advanced absorption technology- supposedly. Very unfortunately for everyone in my household, I had the runs (blowouts honestly) for many many months. I decided to cut out that supplement and have been fine ever since. I have been hesitant to buy any oral curcumin extract though since, so this was right up my alley and should be more effective!
