Curcumin Coconut Milk Recipe

These curcumin bioavailability protocols allow for very high doses of curcumin from 1.5 grams and up to 7.5 grams per day in some cases. The key factor to understand about these high dose curcumin protocols is that the curcumin must be taken/consumed in an emulsified fatty solution. The most commonly employed method of emulsifying curcumin powder is with the curcumin coconut milk protocol. Since coconut milk is already an emulsified fatty solution adding curcumin powder to the hot (almost boiling) coconut milk is easy, quick and effective.

Once added to 1 can of organic coconut milk (usually between 12 and 14 fluid ounces) the coconut milk can be heated on the stove in a sauce pan to 180°F+ and the 1.5 grams up to 7.5 grams curcumin powder added to the hot coconut milk will quickly dissolve (with stirring) making a smooth bright orange solution. After cooling to room temperature (and then refrigerating as needed for storage) the coconut/curcumin milk can be taken in three divided doses throughout the day with fatty meals for maximal bioavailability. The coconut/curcumin milk can be added to foods or taken as a liquid with meals.

Note: As of December, 2009, Curcumin Powder is in very limited supply on the wholesale markets. We were only able to acquire 22 kilograms for our inventory where usually we buy from 100 to 200 kilograms at a time. It presently seems that all wholesale distributors of curcumin powder are either completely out of stock or have very limited stock. Our wholesale price has almost doubled in the last 6 months and there seems to be no likelihood that supplies will catch up to demand any time soon. We therefore are limiting our curcumin product amount to 500 grams and we request that you not purchase more than 500 grams per person. We have a lot of customers that depend upon their cucumin and their curcumin supply and we would prefer that you not purchase more than you need so our other customers that need it can buy enough to meet their needs to hold them over until supplies are reestablished. -- Thank you.
