Larry,
"If you want to spend your money this way, fine, but turmeric (the spice) is potent and cheap, all by its lonesome."
Actually, 60 servings of Zyflamend, cost $28.57, rounded up to approx. $34 with s/h. That's $.56/day, 1/2 the price of a candy bar, and 1/8 the price of a pack of a cigarettes.

I think it's irresposible to rely on store-bought, sometimes source-unknown, free-form turmeric. What I mean here is standarization of course.
Aside from that, the key point with Zyflamend is synergy, i.e., TURMERIC Unique curcumin phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2;
"synergistic with green tea, significantly multiplying anti-inflammatory effect of green tea polyphenols.*"
Antioxidants multiply eachother's effects, recycle each other, and re-enforce eachother. Not all antioxidants have the same potency, tasks etc.
A broad-spectrum dietary supplement standardized to inhibit COX-2 is more reliable, potent, and more ideal than COX-2 inhibiting drugs or botanicals in isolation.
As a side note, I have also come across Supercritical DHA, which looks very promising:

Neurozyme looks too daunting to unravel atm, but it may help tremendously, judging by a first glance at it's ingredients, or it may not be good at all. I don't like that it contains Ginkgo or Chamomile right off the bat.
