Dosage: For osteoarthritis: 500 mg of curcumin extract twice daily Here are some of the potential benefits of turmeric: Reducing inflammation: Turmeric has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which is believed to contribute to the development of several chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Alleviating pain: Turmeric has been shown to have analgesic properties and may help reduce pain associated with arthritis, menstrual cramps, and other conditions.
