An excellent question for which I have not an adequate reply.
Might the beneficial effect be cumulative? Might a daily dose of turmeric, hence curcumin, be preventative of certain maladies? I have no idea but the thought occurs.
Most of the pre-clinical studies are rat gavaging models, so the amounts of tumeric are HIGH, however:
Only the curcumin sub-component is therapeutic, so if the bulk tumeric is taken down to curcumin it’s 10 times less stuff.
Then if you use the adjuvant it’s not super bad —a teaspoon or so daily, maybe. That’s WITH bioperine, m’kay?
Also if absorbed often it does not circulate for a long time.
However the results are super good, even against Alzheimer’s etc. It’s generating a lot of interest.
My recommendation for cheap use over the long run: get bulk curcumin and bioperine (or piperine) and make your own, in heavy cream.
Or...hey curry is pretty fatty, no why not in that? It’s peppery and spicy and it would go down quite easily.
I have been doing that for three years.
