When I first started taking it I took twice tothree times that much along with other supplements (like lots of Bromilin)and I began to have severe gastrointestinal problems. Once I cut back I was fine. If your body didn't care for the tumeric yet you want to use it youcould try a smaller amount. I also read somewhere that it is absorbed better when taken with some fat. I use coconut oil so just open up a capsule and put it in the oil and then add onto salad or whatever.
