I took 850 mg per day ..and since Ron started taking much bigger doze I doubled my doze :)
But I am having second thoghts : this article says "An animal study found that mice withAlzheimer’s disease who were given low doses of curcumin had a 40 percent decrease in the levels of beta-amyloid compared with mice who were not treated with curcumin. In this study, scientists found that low doses of curcumin given over a longer period were more effective than high doses in fighting the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain"

also :" Chronic use of curcumin can cause liver toxicity, therefore you should not use curcumin if you have liver disease, if you are a heavy drinker, or if you take prescription drugs that are metabolized by the liver.
