Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have curcumin C3 capsules, each contains 500mg When you say that you think 3g is the best dose, can you please tell me how many capsules that would be? Is it 5 capsules? If you take the curcumin out of the capsule do you increase it's potency? thanks Nili Re: [ ] Turmeric Curcumin doses I took my 6-9g of Curcumin, with Piperine with meals 3X a day. I say 6-9 because sometimes that's what I did but I tried to get the nine in. That advice had come from when I first contacted him at the suggestion of a list member whose son also had Bladder Cancer. There are Curcumin products out there that have smaller amounts than what I was using. I think it is correct to say the higher amounts are used in cancer treatment protocols and perhaps others but cannot verify that. As for taking something that provides an equivalent 35g ? Perhaps an experienced practitioner can respond to that. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here's the formula: 1 gram = 1,000 mgs. So 2 capsules at 500 mgs each would be 1 gram. If you wanted 3 grams and I don't know why only 3, you would need 6 capsules. Then I think you have to consider that the bottle says there is only 95% of that 500 that is actually the Curcumin you are looking for. Perhaps whomever recommended only 3 grams is a professional that knows a lot more than me but my advice from , and that was 6 or so years ago, was that I take 6-9 grams. Hope this helped. Joe C.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dear Nili, 3g was if curcumin C3 is combined with piperine. My formulation is with 400mg C3 in a caps with 10mg bioperine (piperine 96%). That means that the 3g are between 7 to 8 caps. Curcumin is a very very coloring powder, it is in fact E440 recognized coloring agent in some foodstuff (bakeries, orange juice...), than I'll not advice you to take it from the caps except if you want to see the life in yellow in your kitchen. http://www.curcuminoids.com/ combined with bioperine. 400mg curcuminoids with 10mg bioperine on http://www.curador.net/indexfr/curcumin/curacurmine_presentation.htm Before I had a formulation with tetrahydrocurcumionoids which I preferred regards to assimilation also combined with piperine, but I had to withdraw it from the market because considered as " novel food " legislation.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 For most studies, especially when there is just one, there can be found another that speaks a different tune. For openers we do not know the methods used and whether or not they made an effort to improve bioavailability using fats or Piperine which other studies showed a greatly improved rate of assimilation doing just that. However, they may be correct that 3 grams is as good as 9 grams. I cannot prove otherwise. Life is full of decisions and eventually we will make one. I found that I had no problems with 9 grams and the person recommending it to me is a practitioner and accredited scientist that is as knowledgeable as they come. Again, it's always our decision and hopefully, a sensible one, not one that simply fits the answer we wanted in the first place. We all fall into that trap from time to time about any subject. I do but try to catch myself before making too big a mistake. Joe C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 There is 5 grams to one teaspoon. BTW. i use fresh turmeric root which i boil in water and also organic powdered turmeric which i add when i steep my tea in the boiled water with the root. It rids of diabetic neuopathy and arthritis pains. > > How do you translate 6 grams into teaspoons or tablespoons?
