Interesting study showing benefits of turmeric in managing arthritis pain. Doing the maths, the daily dose of curcuminoids in the study is 25-50 g of turmeric powder. At least 1/4 cupful. Good luck with that! The active ingredient in turmeric is unfortunately not very well absorbed by the body. Only about 6% is uptaken. I generally recommend a Practitioner-Only brand which is manufactured with a phospholipid complex which makes it 30 times more bioavailable. It works really well at only 2 tablets daily. I often have people tell me they eat turmeric to help with arthritis, which is good but its hard to consume enough to get a serious anti-inflammatory effect. This study is basic, but promising. Other studies confirm the benefits of turmeric for pain relief. greenmedinfo/blog/turmeric-beats-ibuprofen-arthritis-knee
