Turmeric Tincture

Turmeric tinctures are liquid extracts typically dissolved in alcohol. They can be added to juices, tea, or smoothies. The standard dosage is around 10 drops, taken up to three times a day. However, tinctures can vary greatly in quality, and not all are rigorously tested for safety or efficacy. If you choose a tincture, start with a low dose and gradually increase it to avoid side effects like stomach discomfort.

We’ll cover that, too.

Turmeric Root

Fresh Turmeric root is a delicious way to incorporate this spice into your diet. While it doesn’t offer the concentrated benefits of curcumin extracts, it can still provide mild anti-inflammatory and mood-enhancing effects.

How to Use: Slice, chop, or grind the root and add it to soups, salads, or juices.

Dosage: 1,000-3,000 mg per day (about a half-inch piece of root).

Tip: To enhance absorption, pair with black pepper or a Piperine extract.

Turmeric Root Powder

Turmeric powder is a versatile and flavorful option for adding to your meals. However, older powders may lose potency over time, so fresh, high-quality powder is best.

How to Use: Sprinkle into soups, stews, drinks, or casseroles.

Dosage: 1,000-3,000 mg daily (1-3 teaspoons).

Tip: Combine with black pepper to improve curcumin absorption. Start with one teaspoon per day and gradually increase to avoid nausea.

Turmeric Paste

Turmeric paste combines Turmeric with healthy fats and black pepper, enhancing absorption and providing a convenient way to add Turmeric to your diet.

How to Use: Sprinkle into soups, stews, drinks, or casseroles.

Dosage: Start with ¼ teaspoon daily and increase gradually to a maximum of 3 teaspoons per day for chronic pain.

Turmeric Capsules

Capsules are the most effective way to consume Turmeric, especially if they contain standardized curcumin extract with a bioavailability enhancer like Bioperine®.

How to Use: Take capsules as directed or open them to mix the powder into beverages or meals.

Dosage: 1,000 mg daily (typically two capsules).

Tip: Look for products with 95% standardized curcumin and black pepper for optimal results.

Turmeric Tea

Turmeric tea offers a warm, soothing way to enjoy the benefits of Turmeric.

How to Use: Add 500 mg of curcumin (from a capsule or powder) to your tea. Combine with milk or sweeteners for added flavor.

Dosage: 1-2 cups per day, depending on your needs.

Golden Milk

Golden milk is a spiced turmeric drink that tastes similar to chai tea, making it perfect for cold mornings. Use thinly sliced and peeled turmeric root or use the curcuminoid powder inside your capsules for the best effect. The following recipe serves one. Adjust the recipe accordingly to make multiple services. Golden milk can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Use an air-tight container and keep for up to five days. Warm before serving for the best taste.

½ Cup Coconut Milk

1 Inch Cinnamon Stick

½ TSP Dried Turmeric

½ Inch Slice of Ginger

1 TBSP Local Honey

1 TBSP Coconut Oil

¼ TSP Whole Peppercorns

Whisk all the ingredients into a small saucepan, adding 1 Cup of water. Bring the pan to a low boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the flavors mix. This should take about 10 minutes. Once the flavors have combined, strain the solids with a fine-mesh sieve and top with a dash of cinnamon powder. Serve warm and enjoy.
