The Roots of Turmeric
“Turmeric is an embodiment of
intelligence.” - Sayer Ji
Although it grows in many
tropical locations, the
majority of turmeric is
grown in India, where it is
used as a main ingredient
in curry. It has been used
medicinally and as a
culinary ingredient in India
for over 5,000 years.
Turmeric & Curcumin
What is the relationship between turmeric
and curcumin?
• Turmeric is a spice from the root of the
Curcuma longa plant.
• Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance
with over 100 pharmacological actions,
including powerful antioxidant and anti-
inflammatory properties.
• Curcumin makes up approximately 2-5% of
the dried weight in turmeric.
• For a more potent dose, curcumin can be
taken directly. Look for 95% concentration.
• For best absorption it’s important to take
turmeric or curcumin with black pepper, or
for it to be combined with fats and/or
lecithin. Quick Start Guide To Turmeric - GreenMedInfo - 2015 -

Daily Dosage of Turmeric
How much turmeric should you consume
to retain the health benefits? Here are a
few helpful tips to get you started.
Sayer uses 1/2 - 1.5 teaspoons per day of the
dried root powder, certified organic.
A typical dose of supplemental curcumin is about
250mg per day, and often increased when
dealing with a condition.
Many find benefit to taking 400-600 mg of
turmeric extract in pill form up to three times a
day or as suggested by the label.
Look for a supplement that is paired with black
pepper to aid in absorption, or add black pepper
with turmeric in culinary use.
Try and get a product standardized for 95%
curcuminoids. For enhanced absorption find one
that is also phospholipid-bound or lecinthinized.
