Does anyone have any OTC brand and dosage recommendations?

Wow.
I take a capsule daily of this.
I would be in tough shape if not taking it after reading this!

The devil is in the details. My understanding is that the effective ingredient in Turmeric is Curcumin. I also understand that Curcumin levels can vary significantly between different Turmeric products. So, does anyone know the recommended dosage and frequency of “Curcumin” for combating the varied maladies mentioned in this post?

Put plenty of yellow mustard on that hot dog and pretzel.

I had a serious gastric bleed a year ago. Immediately stopped the ibuprofen, turmeric, serrapeptase and nattokinase. A trans-oral endoscopy 3 months later found a healing duodenal ulcer. Another month passed and an ampullary cancer was found. In June, the healed duodenum was cut out as part of the Whipple procedure.

I haven't resumed my turmeric yet. Still lots of gut turmoil from the Whipple. The Qunol product sold at Costco has been my preferred source. 30 ml daily.

Good article, thanks for posting!

I take tumeric supplements, and make tea from the tumeric root. It definitely helps with many things, including appetite, mood, and inflammation. However, you need to take it with some black pepper. Apparently, the body rejects most of Tumeric’s active ingredient; it just passes right through. Taking Turmeric with black pepper increases its absorption rate ten times, or so I have read. When making Turmeric tea, I shred about one inch of Turmeric root into hot water, add one teaspoon of coconut oil and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. It actually tastes better than you would think. It’s hard to find turmeric root in the supermarket, but it is always available in Hispanic stores, like Megamart. For some reason, these stores are also well stocked with lots of other fresh herbs.

I’ll have to talk to my doctors- my colitis could be helped by it, but increasing the chance of bleeding in my colon is never a good thing.

My favorite tea is Orange Ginger Turmeric (brand is ‘Private Reserve’). Wasn’t aware of the ‘Turmeric is good for you’ angle, I just drink it for the taste (yummy stuff).

Yeah, but it may increase bleeding if taken with aspirin. I DO take one baby aspirin daily.
