How Long Does It Take For Turmeric To Work?

It depends on many factors but some studies show taking Turmeric for at least 4 consistent weeks has shown positive outcomes. In this video we’ll discuss 3 factors that come into play when determining the effectiveness of Turmeric.

Turmeric’s Bioavailability or Absorption

Turmeric is not easily absorbed by the body so it requires help. What you want to do is make sure you include some form of piperine to your turmeric, a component of black pepper, which has been shown to increase the absorption of curcumin by 2000% 45 minutes after taken orally. Most of the time this is already added to turmeric supplements but you always want to make sure you read the labels to be certain.

The Quality of The Turmeric You’re Taking

Look for a Turmeric supplement with BioPerine. BioPerine is the only piperine product known for its ability to increase absorption and is also the only source of piperine with clinical studies to substantiate its safety and efficacy.

So you may be asking yourself, Dr. G, can’t I just add black pepper to increase its absorption?

Black pepper only contains 10% piperine. BioPerine contains 95% piperine.

This means you would have to consume 10 to 20 times the amount of black pepper to have the equivalent of piperine you find in BioPerine.

The Dosage of Turmeric You’re Consuming

You want to make sure you’re consuming around 1000mg of turmeric every day for at least 4 weeks for best results.

The Severity of Your Pain and Type of Condition

The severity and type of your condition plays a big factor in how quickly you see results from taking Turmeric. Some conditions require a longer period of time to recover and your age and health status can also be a factor in your recovery.
