Out of desperation I have tried turmeric capsules from WalMart. It didn't work at all. In fact, I knew it wouldn't work, I just did it just in case there was even a slight chance of it working.
No one fall for this, especially not anonymous testimonies online. Has anyone ever noticed that that are anecdotal reports of turmeric's effectiveness for treating gynecomastia, but yet, no one has ever provided documented proof? No one has before or after photos. Imagine going to a surgeon who has no proof, just anonymous testimonies regarding his effectiveness in treating gyno... it'd be hard to trust a doctor like that, wouldn't it?
Furthermore, let's apply some common sense. Take a look at bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman. The guy has slight gyno, but yet, he has around 5% bodyfat. So we know that being overweight is not his problem. So, does anyone seriously think that Coleman wouldn't know of a natural remedy if one existed (that said I don't know why he doesn't just get surgery). Or take a look at "the Rock" Dwayne Johnson. He had to get gyno surgery... does anyone seriously think the Rock wouldn't have known about a natural remedy?
I REALLY wish turmeric was real. But I'm afraid it simply isn't. My theory on those of you who think it has eliminated your gyno is that it hasn't. What has happened is that at best, it shrunk the gland and you carry enough bodyfat to no longer notice it. But if you were ever to drop your bodyfat % to less than 10%, then you'd see them sticking out again. Another possibility is that you were lucky and your gyno went away on its own, unrelated to the turmeric, which might have happened if you are still young and were finishing puberty. And of course, at worst, you're simply lying and you know it.

Turmeric for Gynecomastia: I'm not sure of the effects it has on women, but I don't let my girlfriend get near this stuff. LOL... But I took it in the past and my issues eliminated rather quickly. I began with the powdered turmeric, but couldn't stand the taste. So, I took the capsules and abracabra.... No more man-boobs.... best, cheapest, simplest remedy around.

The problem I had was my nipples were getting puffy even tho I'm not fat, when I wore t shirts you could see the puffy nipple through my shirts, it was a really embarresing so I'd always wear a vest even when it was hot, I did some research and found a few guys on some bodybuilding forums with the same issues, so I came on here and saw that people were trying turmeric, I bought standardized turmeric capsules meaning they were equivalent to like 10000mg of the actual turmeric powder, went through like 2 containers of about 120 capsules each and after about 2 months my nipples arent puffy anymore I can wear tshirts and it looks normal. So in conclusion I testify that this really does work.. I'm going to continue taking turmeric capsules but just the normal non standardized ones because the other 1's are more expensive because they are standardized... make sure you take a tleast 4 grams of turmeric in capsules per day with fat because it helps the bioavailabilty in your body.

Confirming it works.. For me at least, I had my doubts when taking it because it is not immediate.. Read up on it and study it.. I took my with coconut oil I think it makes it better when it comes to absorption. View Entire Thread

To Djaaronk from San Francisco, Ca: I no longer have gynecomastia. First I was using the turmeric powder, but I tried turmeric in capsules from Walmart that has everything. And to my surprise, they work just as effectively as the turmeric powder in water, but without the taste. I personally took as many as eight capsules three to five times daily!! Sounds like a lot but it absolutely worked for me with no side effects. They work a whole lot better if you take them right before bed. You will see results even after ten minutes of taking them. Hope this helps, buddy. Good luck. View Entire Thread

A friend of mine who has seen good results turned me on to turmeric, and I started taking 100mg turmeric just 2 weeks ago and the results have been nothing short of miraculous! My bitch tits, which have been a huge source of embarassment to me for years, have literally disappeared and my chest has flattened out. In fact, the area immediately surrounding my nipples has even become slightly indented due to the fat loss. As I am opposed to invasive surgery, I HIGHLY recommend you try turmeric first, you might be amazed at the results. View Entire Thread

Turmeric For Gynecomastia
Turmeric root is minimizing my gynecomastia. I tried weights as i am an avid athlete yet it only creates a negative effect as my chest grows and the gynecomastia becomes more visible. I have been using turmeric root for about six months now and even after the second day, i experienced amazing results. All i do is fill a glass with water, pour two tablespoons of turmeric into it and heat it up for two minutes. Take it out the microwave, stir and drink.. Not as appetizing but done three times daily, ESPECIALLY before bed and you won't believe your results in the morning.
