[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use the turmeric I find in the spice aisle of my local Indian grocers. This is the freshest, purest and most bioavailable form because it is part of Indian and desi cuisine.  Of course, even fresher is the raw turmeric or dried un-powdered turmeric but I digress.

It is my cure-all spice.  It does not cause kidney stones. However, there is a proper Ayurvedic way of taking turmeric - mainly in warm milk or in warm ghee.  It needs the carrier molecules of calcium, D3 and other trace minerals in milk to be bioavailable, and it needs the fat since it is fat soluble.   Turmeric is not to exceed more than 1 tsp a day per person orally. You will end up impacting your BP adversely otherwise. [/quote]

OP here. Wow this is so interesting! Thank you for explaining this.  Interestingly I have been taking my Turmeric supplements (two capsules) with my D3, K2, and Omega - with dinner. I don't drink milk, just don't like it. I do like oat milk though, the one I use has some fat in it. I'll try that!

If you want the actual turmeric raw they are available at Korean Grocery Store and its not expensive. The frozen aisle at the Indian Grocery store sometimes have them as well.  I'll get dinged for saying this: I'm a believer that raw form is the safest and your body stops you before you over eat it.
