Tumeric?

See my signature.

I take turmeric capsules, 800 mg. Most on the forums have said it's better to take the spice itself with your food so I try to do that when I can. When I'm home on the weekends I usually sprinkle it on my eggs in the morning. It's also good on rice...so it's fairly easy to get it in your diet. Lots of good Indian recipes use it. But, like I said, I take just the capsules too on an empty stomach.

It seems like those having the most success take very high amounts of 4 grams per day or even more than that. It's hard to get that by sprinkling Turmeric powder on your foods. Taking it with pepper does seem to be more effective.

I take my capsules every night with dinner. It's best to take them with a little bit of fat (usually whatever I'm eating for dinner or a spoonful of coconut oil, etc.) to aid in absorption.

When I'm flaring and taking my double dose, I take half of the capsules in the morning and half at night.

I know from trial and error that I need to be taking at least 3 g per day for it to have an effect.

there's no reason not to do both - on your food and pop a pill - the more the butter -

treat it as one of the things I just do - not trying to measure it or concern myself too much - just do it -

sometimes I have to do certain things that way - otherwise I just get more nutso -

sure, if you like the taste - i fortunately do -

I take multiple Curcumin (Tumeric) pills a day. I take between 1.5 - 2 MG a day.

I am not convinced it is doing anything. It is supposed to be good for your health overall but I can't say it is helping or not helping.

One of the challenges with any supplement is that the market is essentially unregulated. You could think you are taking 500mg of Tumeric because that is what the bottle says. However it could turn out that you are in fact taking mustard or something else.

Hey there. I don't have time to read through all of the responses, but turmeric root powder is one of only a couple supplements that I've found to regularly help me when I need it. Right now I am taking one teaspoon mixed in water on an empty stomach every morning, and sometimes at night. When I was being very thorough a few years ago I took 1/2 teaspoon with water on an empty stomach 2-3 times a day.

I also take L-glutamine right after taking turmeric root powder... so they're both together in that empty stomach.

I believe my GI doctor said that turmeric root powder is one of a few supplements with evidence shown that it helps with inflammation.

You can order it online or get it from a store. I found that Whole Foods actually sold it in bulk (you scoop how much you want) by their vitamin area. It was in an area with other bins of things like cinnamon sticks and a lot of other things I don't remember. It was actually very affordable there which surprised me. One bag or container full will last quite a while!

I take LEF's Curcurmin - 2 capsules have an equivalency of approx. 5700 mg !
Great dosage for anti-inflammation.

dubbel ditto !
