The recommended daily dosage of turmeric varies depending on your health goals. Studies suggest that:

  • For general health: 500-2,000 mg of turmeric per day (containing 150-180 mg of curcumin)
  • For specific conditions: Up to 8,000 mg daily, under medical supervision
  • For cooking: 1-3 teaspoons (3-9 grams) of powder daily is generally safe

Always start with a lower dose and increase gradually. For maximum absorption, combine with black pepper and consume with healthy fats. Consult healthcare providers before starting any supplement regimen, especially if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
