Dosage
The dosing for turmeric extracts in treating diseases differs with respect to the specific condition and whether the patient is a child or an adult. Turmeric extracts are usually administered by mouth. The generally accepted dosage for use in several disease conditions is 500 mg over a period of time, particularly to the specific disease. The dosage may be increased for the treatment of itching symptoms.
Child dosage is a meager 1.4 mg of turmeric extracts daily (usually divided into two doses). Consult a doctor before use in children below two years. [2]
