Re: Curcumin
Hi Amanda
Can't just find the research at the minute but curcumin which is the active part of turmeric was taken at quite large doses in supplement form (if I remember correctly about 8mgs plus daily) without toxicity. Will try to find the article tomorrow. I take an organic supplement that also contains black pepper. As you say this is reputed to increase its absorption through the gut.i also try to take it with a little oil as this also is supposed to make it more bio-available.
Just wanted to add a cautionary note in that curcumin can impact on platelets and reduce their number.
Hope this helps
Ellie
