How much do I need
Technically no one needs Turmeric. It is not an essential nutrient for our health. If you decide to take it, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends1.4mg/pound of body weight for the powder. In capsule form, between 500 – 1500 mg per day. It can also be made into a tea. Add one teaspoon of the powder to boiling water. In addition, you can add ginger, honey, lemon and or milk.
When should I take it and how long until I notice a difference?
According to my research, it should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach. I disagree with this information. Turmeric is fat soluble therefor it should be taken with some fat for better absorption. It may be taken along with vitamin D, fish oil, or probiotics. Be patient, it may take 4-8 weeks to notice any difference. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness and headaches. The old adage that “more is better” is a bad idea with turmeric. It can act as a blood thinner and in high doses can cause kidney stones.
Where do I get it?
As with any vitamin or supplement check with your health care provider. Vitamins and Supplements are not regulated by the FDA. When them you want to make sure that you are getting what you are paying for. I recommend Pharmaceutical Grade products. They are not sold in stores. you need to get them from a health care provider. One company that I recommend is Xymogen. They meet certification standards around the world and are made here in the USA. I have visited their facility and met the founders. I use their products for myself, my family, and my patients. I will place a link at the bottom of the page so that you may purchase them.
Draw your own conclusions about this supplement. Many people claim that it does help with arthritis. I have used it for this reason myself and found that it worked. Pain was lessened. I would love to hear any anecdotes that you may have, or if you have any questions, you may contact me at
