Making plans to change your health or your lifestyle is important, but at some point you have to stop just doing and start taking action.
The recommended dosage for curcumin as an anti-inflammatory is 400 to 600 milligrams three times per day. To achieve a similar amount of curcumin in the form of turmeric would require a dosage of 8,000 to 60,000 milligrams three times a day.
âI tell people to take 500 mg a day in capsule form to keep the doctor away,â Aggarwal says. But thatâs more of an educated guess than an evidence-backed finding, he adds. (Youâd have to swallow a teaspoon or more of ground turmeric to get that much curcumin.)
