I read that plain, spice quality turmeric would need to be used at 1/2 teaspoon or so a day. Remember that turmeric is only 1 component of curry powder, so Quandry's dose was less than that, most likely.

Taking it is not without side effects. It can cause "die off" reactions and it can be contraindicated in high doses if you are on coumadin and some other drugs so you may want to research it a bit if you are going to try curcumin therapy.

This is what I have at home:

There are lots of other curcumin products available as well. In general its a good herb, worth trying. Those here with Lyme disease may want to investigate it, too!
