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.
There are varying opinions as to the dosage and confusion between the active ingredient curcumin and turmeric doses. For these amounts, a few good grinds of pepper is sufficient (roughly 1/16 tsp. per 3 g. turmeric). Itâs not rocket science so donât worry about exactness. If you are just starting out with turmeric powder, try 1/4 tsp. twice a day for several days before increasing to the suggested dose.
