Studies have shown that short term dosages as high as 8 grams are non-toxic to humans in clinical trials. While higher dosages may be useful, we do not recommend them for long-term use. Currently, there is not have enough data available to confirm safety or tolerability of such high dosages for extended periods.
The World Health Organization (WHO) deems 1.4 mg per pound (0–3 mg/kg) of body weight to be the recommended allowable daily intake (ADI) for curcumin. This amount should be a safe and tolerable dosage for the vast majority of users looking to reduce arthritis pain, lower inflammation, or improve overall health. (3)
Popular turmeric supplements often contain a mixture of 150-250 mg of curcumin per serving, with the rest of the capsule filled with turmeric root powder. Any product within this dosing range should be acceptable for daily use.
If you are looking for an encapsulated product for health benefits, keep the following tips in mind:
- Do not buy pure turmeric root powder unless the label discloses the exact curcumin content. Otherwise, you may not be getting enough curcumin to experience the full range of benefits.
- Do not buy a turmeric supplement unless it contains some form of black pepper extract to increase absorption and bioavailability.
How long does it take for turmeric to work?
How long do you need to take turmeric before noticing results? The answer depends on the reason you’re using a curcumin supplement. For example, turmeric starts to work almost immediately after taking it for improving overall health and providing temporary pain relief.
However, if you’re dealing with chronic inflammation or arthritis and joint pain, you need to stay consistent. It may take 2-4 weeks before noticing any improvement in the arthritic condition. To achieve maximum benefits, you need to remain on a steady dosing schedule for 4-8 weeks.
The results achieved also depend on many other factors, including activity levels, age, body mass, other medications, and the severity of the condition. Turmeric works well, but it’s essential to give curcumin time to build up in your system so it can reduce systemic inflammation.
What is the best time of day to take turmeric?
The best time to take turmeric supplements varies based on the individual. Most people find success taking turmeric either in the morning to start their day, or at night before bed to combat inflammation from the day’s activities.
We also recommend that you take turmeric with a meal since curcumin absorption increases when paired with healthy fats. This will also prevent the potential for stomach irritation that you may experience by taking supplements on an empty stomach.
Precautions and Adverse Effects
The side effects of turmeric are quite rare and usually moderate. Keep the following in mind when deciding on whether or not curcumin is right for you.
- Turmeric is a blood thinner which can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding. Discontinue use of curcumin at least two weeks before any surgery or if you are using anticoagulants.
- Be extra careful if you’re using turmeric for diabetes as it may cause blood sugar to drop too low.
- Turmeric may inhibit iron absorption. If you have an iron deficiency, you may want to avoid curcumin.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not use turmeric. There is not enough reliable evidence to confirm the safety of curcumin during pregnancy.
- Curcumin may also increase the risk of kidney stone formation and can worsen symptomology associated with gallbladder disease.
- In a small number of individuals using higher dosages, turmeric may cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, allergic reactions, or constipation.
