Does anyone have any OTC brand and dosage recommendations?
From the article, pertaining to IBD:
“In a 12-week study of people with mild to moderate Crohn’s disease, those who took curcumin supplements (360 milligrams a day) saw improvements in their symptoms. By week 12, 40% of participants no longer saw symptoms. While these results are promising, more research is needed to determine curcumin’s ideal dosage, frequency, and duration for managing IBD.”
I aim to do this daily, probably actually have it about 5x per week:
Golden Cocoa:
Coconut milk (not oat milk, regular milk could work)
1 tblspn, heaping, Turmeric
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tblspn, heaping, unsweetened cocoa
Good spritz of liquid stevia (powdered is crap!)
Heat and mix
Top with some heavy cream
Be VERY mindful of spillage - turmeric stains counters, floors a hard-to-clean yellow.
We buy 1 lb bags of organic turmeric from bulk herbs online. Then we put it in gel caps we get at the health food store. I have pretty bad osteo arthritis and one capsule at breakfast and one capsule at dinner keeps it totally under control. Be sure to sprinkle black pepper in the turmeric for best out come.
The stuff from the store or Costco does not work well at all. Use the organic turmeric its cheaper and better.
Gave it to my husband for four years after he was diagnosed with liver cancer and given less than three months to live:

One of my friends, a retired nurse practitioner, takes it and said it stopped the arthritis pain in her feet.
