1. how much curcuma per day is healthy?
The WHO recommends a daily intake of about 200 micrograms of turmeric for adults. However, the recommended daily intake increases with various factors. The correct dosage of curcuma depends on gender, body size and especially the exact body weight. It is also important to take into account the circumstances of one's life.
2. where does the curcuma tuber come from?
The curcuma spice with the ingredient curcumin comes from Southeast Asia. There, the tuber has been known for over 4000 years. Since the Middle Ages, curcuma has been used there as a spice. Not only because of its extraordinary taste, but also because of its special colour, the curcuma tuber is very popular. Curcuma acts as a natural colouring agent for sweet and salty dishes. In terms of taste, it is somewhat similar to ginger.
3. effects and side effects of curcuma
Curcuma has an antioxidant effect. The tuber prevents inflammation and fights free radicals. Long-term intake of extremely high amounts of curcuma can cause side effects such as diarrhea and vomiting. Irritation of the stomach cannot be ruled out. For this reason, one should always stick to the recommended amount.
4. curcuma in the form of food supplements
Who wants to supplement Curcuma in the form of dietary supplements, should pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Curcuma capsules are particularly suitable. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. Likewise, the preparation should not contain any chemical additives.
