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.
NOTE: for more recent posts, please scroll down. I have been taking eight grams of curcumin for almost 4 years (=in January 2010), and can report no harmful side effects. Quite the opposite. However, I have read or been told of a few side effects that are worth reporting. First, my experience.
