I was really shocked how helpful curcumin is for chronic inflammation. I was having trouble with reoccurring tendonitis in my shoulders and thought I was going to have to give up lifting. Doctor didn't have anything else to offer. Read a study about this proving useful and I thought "Simple enough to try it and find out."

Works great and part of my daily routine now.

Out of interest, how much do you take?

[–] ReluctantMuskrat 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I take 1500 mg/day.

1000mg/day was my usual for the last 6 years. Bumped it up 6 months ago as I've been having a strange reoccurring pain in one foot. Honestly think I have something else going on with it though so might just have to go to the doctor. I suspect I can drop back to my original and wouldn't know the difference.

I use the Kirkland brand from Costco. Back to 1000mg/day after the issue with my foot subsided.
