What's in it?

1 Daily Dose gives you 655 mg turmeric root powder, 10 mg turmeric extract standardized to 95% curcuminoids, and 10 mg BioPerine® black pepper extract (95% piperine). Vegetable capsules. See every ingredient

Can I take it with my medications?

Talk to your doctor first if you take a blood thinner (like warfarin or daily aspirin), medication for diabetes, or have gallbladder problems. Turmeric can add to the effect of blood thinners, and black pepper extract can change how some medications are absorbed.

How do I take it?

1 Daily Dose is 2 capsules, with water. Many people take it with a meal, which can be easier on the stomach. Take it every day, drinking or not.

Can I take it with Daily Restore?

Yes. Cloud9 sells them together in the Recovery Stack. Daily Restore looks after your liver and the nutrients alcohol drains; Gold Guard looks after joints and inflammation. See how they pair

Drinks, rich food and the years all add up.

Drinking stirs up inflammation that starts in the gut and spreads through the body (1). Add rich dinners and the years, and it shows up as stiff knees, a sore back and slow mornings.

Better Sleep

It is still early days for me using Gold Guard but I have noticed in the last week my sleep has improved and I seem to have more energy. I am keen to see how I feel after being on it for a month.

More energy and better digestion

I’ve been using Gold Guard consistently and have noticed steady improvements. My energy levels feel more consistent throughout the day, my digestion has been better, and I haven’t experienced any negative side effects. It’s easy to take and has fit well into my daily routine. I’m looking forward to seeing the long-term benefits and would recommend giving it a try.

All their supplements are great

To be honest, all the supplements from Cloud9 have been great. They all do what they say they'll do, and this is no exception. I experience some arthritis and other inflammatory issues, and this does help with that. Glad to have found this company and their great products!

Much less bloating

I honestly would not have tried the gold guard supplement, except that I had learned to trust the cloud 9 brand. I tried it without expecting much, but I really do have much less bloating. As usual, I’m a big fan!

This stuff actually works!

Between the Cloud 9 and the Gold Guard my labs are all in the green versus a month ago my liver levels were on the higher side. My Doctor asked me what I did. AndI love wine, and admit I drink too much of it.

Cheers!

I’ve only been on this for a few weeks, but I’m optimistic! I don’t have as much of a craving for alcohol. My favorite thing about this company is the continuous educational communication. Not nagging emails trying to get you to buy more, but short emails with informative content. Much appreciated!

Questions, answered.

Still unsure? Email info@trycloud9.com and a real person will get back to you.

Why not just eat more turmeric?

You'd need a lot, and on its own curcumin is poorly absorbed. Gold Guard pairs whole turmeric root with a concentrated 95% curcuminoid extract and black pepper extract, which helps your body take it in.

How do I take it?

1 Daily Dose is 2 capsules, with water. Many people take it with a meal. One bottle is 30 Daily Doses, a 1-month supply.

When will I notice a difference?

Some reviewers mention easier joints within a week or two; others after a month. Give it at least a month of daily use to judge it.

Can I take it with medications?

Talk to your doctor first if you take a blood thinner (like warfarin or daily aspirin), medication for diabetes, or have gallbladder problems or gallstones. Turmeric can add to the effect of blood thinners, and black pepper extract can change how some medications are absorbed. Not for use if you're pregnant or nursing.

Can I drink on days I take it?

Yes. We don't ask anyone to quit. Take it every day, drinking or not. One reviewer takes it “on the days that I include alcohol as well as the following day.”

Will it stain or upset my stomach?

It's in capsules, so there's no yellow mess. Reviewers say it's easy on the stomach; taking it with food helps if you're sensitive.

Am I locked into a subscription?

No. Subscribe & Save ships free in the US, and we email you before every renewal. Pause or cancel anytime, no fees.

What if it isn't for me?

Every order is covered by our 180-day money-back guarantee. Email info@trycloud9.com and we'll refund you, even on opened bottles.
