It’s a dietary supplement whose active ingredient is Curcumin — the bioactive compound found in turmeric. The “1600 mg” refers to the total dose per serving (or per capsule regimen) of curcumin (or turmeric-extract) — intended for those seeking potentially stronger antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effects than what typical dietary turmeric provides.

Yes, curcumin supplements are often taken daily. However, because 1600 mg is a high-strength dose, people with medical conditions or taking medications should consult a doctor before long-term daily use.

Most users report noticeable effects (like reduced joint stiffness or better inflammation support) within 2–6 weeks of consistent use. Results vary based on lifestyle, diet, and individual response.

Many high-quality curcumin formulas include piperine, which can increase curcumin absorption by up to 20–30×

Curcumin is not a weight-loss supplement, but it can support metabolic health and reduce inflammation, which may indirectly support weight-management goals.
