Curcumin itself is not absorbed in the bloodstream. In recent years black pepper extract was added to curcumin supplements making it 2000% more absorbable. Still it is metabolized quickly and stays effective for 3-4 hours. Many people take it multiple times a day for continued effect. No upper limit on how much you can take.
It should be known that it is a blood thinner. Talk to your doctor.

A caution that high doses of curcumin/turmeric supplements are linked to liver injury especially when combined with black pepper to enhance bioavailability:
