Hello,
I have read several studies that it takes anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks but those were all referring to arthritic pain. My mom didn’t have any arthritis in her knee. She told the doctor her pain wasn’t bad but was bothersome. She started taking 1,000 but after a week or two she went to 2,000 and soon her pain was gone, Although my memory isn’t all that it should be I’d say it wasn’t more than 2 weeks if that. I remember there is some ingredient in pepper that increases the absorption of turmeric. I noticed a dramatic difference in my hemoglobin level when I switched from using milk on my cereal to orange juice. Same when I took an iron supplement with orange juice. Absorption is the name of the game. My mom got hers at Costco.
Good luck, I hope it works for you too,
Jake
P.S.
“Would you mind keeping us updated on that should god-forbid, this knee pain come back while she is still on the turmeric?”
Sadly that’s not possible, my Mom passed away 15 months ago.

Thanks for the info Leonard. I will look for the turmeric product at Costco. My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mom. Very tough to lose a parent. My best to you, Hank

Hi Jake, I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I lost my dad about the same time ago and it's still really tough. I heard someone say that you don't get over rather through these difficult losses. My prayers will be with you.

Helen's post about Turmeric caused me to do a little research on the contraindications, risks, side effects, etc. on it and I was very surprised to learn what I did. I will have to talk to my pharmacist b/c I'm on so many toxic meds and so many supplements. Check this site out: https://www.drugs.com/mtm/turmeric.html

Also, I was told about a GREAT resource for everything you would need and want to know about supplements. I believe it costs about $40 give or take, per year? Consumerlab.com

Take good care, Sunny
