curcumin dosage

What do you think an ideal dose of Longvida would be for an adult with GIST or
other cancer? I see some human studies use high doses of 2000mg but I understand Longvida is
more bioavailable.

 we are trying to figure out this question in a trial. So far data suggests that for alzheimer prevention  2-3 capsules might be enough if it is going to work, but we are using 8 capsules in our trial.sinc more may be needed to impact the disease once you have it. It is not toxic.. but nevertheless, dose is critical for efficacy and too high and too low is not efficacious.  Luckily the efficacious range is quite large!

 if you are really serious about absorbing it with minimum number of capsules take it on a totally empty stomach and wait an hour before you eat.

I take 4 capsules  a day.. and my geriatric  dogs take half a capsule a day!

For cancer, i think it is very good at protecting from resistance to chemotherapy and between chemo to help healthy cells.. I wouldn't use it alone for cancer.. but if you did, you'd want to take probably more like 12 capsules a day. but in conjunction with chemo, 6-8 capsules should be fine…

I hope that is helpful….. more trials need to be done to test this, but no one is paying for the trials . they are just to expensive.. hopefully our trial will motivate others.. SF
