Q. How much turmeric can I consume in a day?
There is no hard-and-fast rule. Although there are no official dosing recommendations, the precise dose may vary depending on the medical condition you'reseeking to treat. Nevertheless, research indicates that consuming 500–2,000 mg (about twice the weight of a small paper clip) of turmeric daily may have significant advantages, especially in extract form.
Q. How is turmeric powder best absorbed?
Turmeric is better absorbed when consumed with food. This is due to the presence of a substance called lecithin. Lecithin aids in the body's absorption of turmeric. The greatest foods to pair with turmeric are fatty ones like eggs and vegetable oils. You could also combine it with pepper because the presence of piperine in pepper increases the absorbability of turmeric.
Q. How much curcumin can I consume in a day?
Clinical human trials demonstrated that doses as high as 8 grams of curcumin are non-toxic. However, large dosages of curcumin are not suggested long term due to a lack of studies establishing its safety, so choosing the right turmeric powder for you is critical.
