As a health and nutrition expert, I would like to clarify that the recommended dosage of turmeric can vary greatly depending on the individual's health condition, the purpose of use, and the form of turmeric (fresh root, dried powder, or supplement). However, a common general guideline for turmeric powder is to start with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (approximately 1.25 to 2.5 grams) per day, especially if you are new to using turmeric. It's important to note that turmeric is typically taken with a meal to reduce the risk of stomach upset, and it is often paired with black pepper to enhance absorption of its active compound, curcumin.
For therapeutic purposes, some sources may recommend higher doses, but it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
