^^^Yes, milk or tea with turmeric. I just made a batch with coconut milk so hopefully it's good!

queenliz99

You just made it but didn't try it?

Turmeric is a legit anti-inflammatory that is better absorbed with the addition of black pepper. Oz, et al did not make this up, they are just promoting it for their advantage. Golden milk is just one way to consume turmeric to take advantage of it's natural benefit. I happen to like golden milk. There are many different recipes, you can find one to suit yourself. I make mine with almond milk.

That sounds interesting... So how was it

Savyna

Ive had it before, I like it, I usually only make it to help during my menstrual cycle, but I will on occasion make it during the winter just to have it. It tastes good to me. (I use regular milk though so I've never had it using coconut and/or almond milk).

I like it, it always helps me when I have flu

LunaLoses86

It helped me sleep during a bout of insomnia. Definitely going to keep drinking it.

It's, like everything, an extrapolation

Curcumin, an element of turmeric has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties over extended trials with participants taking 1250-8000mg curcumin

Each tablespoon turmeric contains 136mg curcumin

If you like the taste that's a great reason

But efficacy / toxicity is always dosage relevant

Yes, the study was on the effects of curcumin and turmeric has relatively low amounts of curcumin in it. But as mean_jeannie pointed out Black pepper does help in the absorption of curcumin in the body. Now, of course, I'm no expert but I think a prolong use of turmeric is highly beneficial and I haven't read otherwise anywhere.
I've tried Spiced Golden Milk and it is good especially in mending physical injuries and relieving muscular pain.
