I’ve found that turmeric supplements help my arthritis significantly.

Excellent! I encourage my mother to use it for her arthritis too. An old Ayurvedic recipe is to mix one teaspoon powdered turmeric, one tsp of almond oil (they usually use Ghee which is clarified butter) in a cup of warm milk. I find it to be pretty tasty and the warmed milk has tryptophan in it, like turkey, which helps make you sleepy so I tell her to take it right before bedtime.

The almond oil or Ghee is supposed to take the turmeric deeper into body tissues. That makes sense because the lumen (intestinal lining) takes fats directly into the blood stream.

How much do you take daily? Capsules?
