Within the recent explosion of creative nonfiction, a new type of form is quietly emerging, what Brenda Miller calls "hermit crab essays." The Shell Game is an anthology of these intriguing essays that borrow their structures from ordinary, everyday sources: a recipe, a crossword puzzle, a Craig's List ad. Like their zoological namesake, these essays do not simply wear their borrowed "shells" but inhabit them so perfectly that the borrowed structures are wholly integral rather than contrived, both shaping the work and illuminating and exemplifying its subject. The Shell Game contains a carefully chosen selection of beautifully written, thought-provoking hybrid essays tackling a broad range of subjects, including the secrets of the human genome, the intractable pain of growing up black in America, and the gorgeous glow residing at the edges of the autism spectrum. Surprising, delightful, and lyric, these essays are destined to become classics of this new and increasingly popular hybrid form.Binding Type: Paperback

Turmeric curcumin & black pepper
These capsules come in a freshness and safety sealed bottle. They’re pretty large, but the vegan cellulose capsules swallow easily with a little water. A serving is 3 capsules, You really smell the black pepper extract and turmeric when you open the bottle.
The suggested use is to take them 20-30 minutes before a meal.

This is a good one
I really like these for inflammation reduction. That means a more comfortable, more pain-free body. I feel less achy when using these and that helps me through my day. They don't need to be taken (by me anyway) every day. These generally keep the aches and pains beat back so I have more comfortable movement and feel the effects of getting older noticeably less. They just help me feel generally more healthy.

"Solid credentials and nice presentation"...
The product presents as a professional well made product. The site page could be improved a tad with details just to match up with the product received.
"FDA registered" is a requirement so it's not an over-and-beyond move. However, GMP certified and 3rd party lab tested are and are nice pluses.
Capsule size is MEDIUM.
MG per capsule is 600 MG or more based on the label which is pretty good. Black pepper is known to aid in absorption so you always want to see that with turmeric and some other supplements that benefit from its addition.
Made in the USA is great. Ingredients are sourced domestically and globally. It would be nice to know where they come from outside of the USA.
This is a very solid option for turmeric.

Tastes Great & Actually Works!
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
I was honestly surprised by how good these Benefiber chewable tablets taste — no weird texture or aftertaste at all. They’re super easy to take, especially if you don’t like mixing powders into drinks. Best of all, they really work! I noticed a difference quickly without any discomfort. This has become a daily staple for me, and I love how convenient and effective it is. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy fiber boost that doesn’t feel like a chore.

Fiber That's Actually Fun!
Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
Who knew fiber could be this enjoyable? Benefiber's chewable tablets have turned my daily routine into a flavor-packed adventure.
Pros:
Delicious Flavors: These assorted fruit flavors make taking fiber feel like indulging in a treat.
No Water Needed: Pop a tablet and go—no need to chase it down with a glass of water.
Digestive Dynamo: They work wonders for keeping things moving smoothly, if you catch my drift.
Cons:
Sweet Tooth Alert: They are a bit sweet, so if you're cutting back on sugar, keep that in mind.
In a nutshell, these chewable fiber tablets have made me a fiber fan. If you're looking to add some zest to your digestive health routine, give them a try.
