Turmeric dosage?

[JamieMarc]

Good afternoon!

I am adding turmeric with black pepper extract to my daily supplements.

This question is for those who take turmeric for fibromyalgia.

What dosage have you found to be most effective?
How effective have you found it to be for your symptoms?
If it is effective for you, how long did you take it before you begin noticing the benefits?

My initial plan is to take 1,000 mg at lunch time daily.

I tried it, 1,000mg daily in a capsule. It didn't do a thing for me. Tried it on my elder dog who had arthritis, years ago, also to no effect.
I really hope you have better luck with it!!
And let us know if you do (or, if you don't) because it's always helpful to hear what others are doing.

Thanks, @sunkacola I will indeed let y'all know how it works (or doesn't) for me.

I bought a trusted brand, but it says three 1000mg capsules 3x a day. That sounds like overkill (a lot of turmeric!), but some of the reviewers said it helped them at 1000mg, so I am going to start there. After 2-3 months, if there is no effect, I will try 2000mg 2x a day and take it from there. I know it has many many health benefits, but I am hoping specifically for anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving effects. Gotta give it a try so I can continue working through my list of supplements to find out what works for me and what does not.

Fingers crossed, and I'll letcha know.
