Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your supplement more effective than using turmeric spice?
Our formula is a high-potency curcumin extract (up to 95%), compared to only 2–9% curcumin found in cooking turmeric. We also include absorption enhancers like piperine or fat-based delivery systems, crucial since curcumin alone has poor bioavailability.
How much should I take, and when?
Clinical studies typically use 500 mg twice daily, often with meals to improve absorption through dietary fat . This aligns with global safety standards (e.g., WHO: ~3 mg/kg of curcumin).
Are turmeric supplements safe?
Turmeric is generally recognised as safe doses up to 8 g per day have been well tolerated. However, high-dose or highly bioavailable formulas may cause gastric upset, allergic reactions, boost bleeding risk, and there are rare reports of liver injury.
What should I avoid or be cautious about?
Medications: Can interact with blood thinners like warfarin, iron supplements, antacids, and diabetes or blood pressure meds.
Medical conditions: Avoid during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you have gallbladder disease, liver issues, or hormone-sensitive conditions.
Why include black pepper or fats?
Black pepper provides piperine, which boosts curcumin absorption by up to 20-fold. Taking it with healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil) further enhances uptake.
How long until I see benefits?
Many users report improvements in pain, joint mobility, gut comfort, or mood within 2–4 weeks. However, studies often span 8–12 weeks, so consistent use is key.
