What is a therapeutic dosage of Curcumin/Turmeric?

I am taking 900mg/daily; is that enough to see a benefit?

Thanks

Never take it with a blood thinner it will have a multiplying effect compared to all the other no-no's when on coumadin/warfarin I found that out in a matter of days.

However I am taking it now alone as it works great for thinning blood at a whole different level while being good for UC. I used to take 2 huge spoonfuls of turmeric which is mostly curcumin in warm water on an empty stomach in the morning with fantastic results. I am just taking one gel pill now.

Your mileage may vary.

From the University of Maryland Medical Centre :

The following are doses recommended for adults:

* Cut root: 1.5 - 3 g per day
* Dried, powdered root: 1 - 3 g per day
* Standardized powder (curcumin): 400 - 600 mg, 3 times per day
* Fluid extract (1:1) 30 - 90 drops a day
* Tincture (1:2): 15 - 30 drops, 4 times per day

Does anyone know about taking it with fat to increase absorption. I'm mixing it with high fat yogurt. Good idea?
