I take 545mg a day. I did read somewhere that the average portion of curried chicken contains 204 mg of curcumin so i figured my pill is like eating something with curry twice a day. I take it with my evening meal (as I do my vitamin d and others) because it is best absorbed with some fat and there is more fat in the evening meal (at least for me there is).
